EastGroup Properties Inc. just announced its response to the persistent cry for industrial accommodations in metropolitan Miami. The REIT will develop Gateway Commerce Park, an 850,000-square-foot distribution campus in a highly coveted area in Miami-Dade County.<\/p>\n

Gateway will be erected on what was once the practice track for Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens. EastGroup completed the $26.5 million acquisition of the land, situated at the N.W. 27th exit of the Florida Turnpike, from Churchill Downs Inc. in November 2016. The property offers three major advantages: location, location, location.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe growth of e-commerce and population density, particularly in urban cores, has made this site very unique for the development of Gateway Commerce Park,\u201d<\/em> Audley Bosch, senior vice president with commercial real estate services firm<\/a> JLL, told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. JLL is overseeing leasing for the Class A park, which was conceived to appeal to serious logistics, distribution and supply chain occupiers. \u201cThe 61-acre site is situated in the eastern corridor of Miami-Dade, close to the highly-dense urban cores of Miami-Dade and Broward,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhile everyone points to location in real estate, what\u2019s so unique about this site is its location on the eastern side of the county in comparison to other industrial developments that are underway today.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

EastGroup expects to commence construction of Gateway in the third quarter. In addition to premier speculative buildings, the park will offer build-to-suit opportunities. It\u2019s a timely project, statistics indicate. The metro Miami industrial vacancy rate has been on a steady decline for nine consecutive years, dropping to just 3.8 percent in the first quarter of 2017, according to a report by JLL. And the forecast for the market remains sunny, with nary a cloud in sight. \u201cAs Miami\u2019s economy continues to expand, we expect to see more big-name companies capitalize on growth opportunities and sign bigger deals,\u201d <\/em>JLL notes in the report. \u201cWith more than five years of rent growth and six consecutive years of positive net absorption, the outlook for industrial remains strong.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

NOT YOUR TYPICAL INDUSTRIAL PARK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gateway\u2019s first spec building is scheduled to come online in the second quarter of 2018, marking EastGroup\u2019s debut in Miami-Dade. Ultimately, tenants at the park will benefit from more than just state-of-the-art industrial digs thanks to EastGroup\u2019s plan to sell a seven-acre outparcel at the campus. The land, which is being marketed by commercial real estate services firm Avison Young, is approved as an Entertainment Overlay zone, allowing for no fewer than 45 potential uses\u2014hotel, retail, office and, of course, entertainment, included.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur tactical vision when purchasing the 61 acres was to carve out the appropriate square footage to provide a mix of complementary amenities enhancing Gateway Commerce Park\u2019s overall desirability as well as serving as a commerce destination for local communities,<\/em>\u201d Chris Segrest, vice president with EastGroup, said in prepared remarks.<\/p>\n
