Property type
Industrial Space in South Florida.
Zoning and permitted use, power capacity, yard and outdoor storage rights, and environmental history on the site.
What to check
Before you sign for industrial space.
Industrial is where zoning, power and environmental history matter more than finish. What the building looks like is close to irrelevant; what the municipality permits on the site is everything.
- Permitted use, confirmed with the city
Industrial zoning categories vary by municipality and the differences are consequential — manufacturing, outdoor storage, vehicle repair and distribution are often treated separately. Confirm your specific use with the city in writing before you commit.
- Outdoor storage and yard rights
Whether you can store outside, park trailers, or fence a yard is set by both the zoning and the lease. Sites with genuine yard rights are scarce in South Florida and command a premium for good reason.
- Power capacity is a long-lead item
Confirm existing service and what an upgrade would cost and take. Utility timelines can be measured in months, and an operation planned around power that has not been secured is an operation that stalls.
- Environmental history on a purchase
On an acquisition, a Phase I environmental site assessment is standard and worth doing properly. Prior uses on industrial sites are exactly where liability hides, and lenders will require it anyway.
Questions
Industrial Space, answered.
Can I do outdoor storage on the site?
Only if the zoning permits it and the lease grants it. Both need checking — a landlord's willingness does not override a municipal restriction.
How long does a power upgrade take?
It varies by utility, scope and season, and it is routinely longer than people plan for. Get the utility engaged during due diligence rather than after closing.
What should I check before buying an industrial building?
Zoning and permitted use, a Phase I environmental assessment, roof and structure, power and utilities, the survey and any easements, and the tax picture after reassessment. I will coordinate the list on a specific property.
