Why Attend South Florida's Industrial & Logistics Summit
Why This Matters:
South Florida’s industrial market, long one of the tightest and most resilient in the nation, is entering a new phase. After years of record absorption and rent growth, a wave of new supply and slowing tenant demand is testing even the strongest players. Developers are recalibrating, capital is competing fiercely for limited Class A assets, and tenants are rethinking location strategy and operational needs. This summit gathers the region’s top industrial leaders from developers and investors to brokers and end-users to unpack how they’re navigating today’s market realities, where the next pockets of opportunity lie, and what’s next for South Florida’s logistics backbone.
What You Will Learn:
- Is the slowdown a blip or the start of a new market cycle?
- Investor appetite: who’s still buying—and what?
- How South Florida stacks up against national industrial markets
- Submarket insights: Miami’s infill advantage vs. Broward’s flexibility
- Capital strategies amid rising costs and limited new land supply
- Adaptive reuse: office-to-industrial conversions gaining steam
- How developers are underwriting in today’s slower leasing environment
- The new capital landscape: institutional capital vs. private money
- Supply chain, permitting, and design challenges unique to South Florida
- What’s next for speculative development and build-to-suit demand
- The tenant perspective: who’s expanding, who’s holding, who’s pivoting
- Location, location, location: how proximity drives rent tolerance
- Tenant mix trends: construction, logistics, retail-facing industrial
- Vacancy, concessions, and the path to equilibrium
- What’s next for last-mile and industrial outdoor storage (IOS) users

Industrial State of the Market Roundtable: Supply, Capital, and the Next Cycle
After years of unprecedented absorption, South Florida’s industrial market is rebalancing. Vacancy rates have edged up as a surge of speculative deliveries hits the market just as leasing activity moderates. Yet institutional capital continues to flood in, confident in the region’s long-term fundamentals. This roundtable unpacks the push and pull between cautious near-term sentiment and bullish long-term conviction. Hear how top investors, brokers, and operators are navigating valuations, shifting capital flows, and regional submarket differences from Miami-Dade to Palm Beach.

From Office Parks to Warehouses: The Construction & Development Outlook
Developers are getting creative in one of the nation’s most land-constrained industrial markets. Office demolitions are giving way to warehouse redevelopments, and builders are balancing higher costs, slower leasing, and more selective capital. This conversation explores how developers are financing, designing, and repositioning projects to meet demand both now and when absorption rebounds.

Tenant Demand, Leasing & the User Landscape: Who’s Taking Space—and Where
Tenant behavior is evolving fast. Location and proximity have become make-or-break factors and with new supply hitting the market, tenants now have more options and more leverage than they’ve had in years. This panel explores how brokers, landlords, and occupiers are navigating a shifting landscape of pricing, incentives, and site selection.
