Cushman & Wakefield Awarded 1MSF+ Leasing Assignment for Florida Crossroads Logistics Center

October 4, 2023

Ocala, FL — Cushman & Wakefield announced the firm has been exclusively awarded the 1,085,280 sq ft leasing assignment for the Florida Crossroads Logistics Center, a recently-delivered distribution building located off I-75 and US 27 in Ocala, Florida. 

The team of Lisa Ross, Trey Carswell and Sam Korolos at Cushman & Wakefield are overseeing leasing efforts for the entire property on behalf of owners Red Rock Developments and LXP Industrial Trust. This is Red Rock Development’s third speculative building in central Florida.

“This Class A distribution building provides a unique opportunity to form a hub or expand presence in a strategic location that is accessible to the rest of the Southeast. We expect strong interest from many potential tenants looking to take advantage of Ocala’s logistics and labor benefits and look forward to working with ownership to identify users best suited for the property and all it has to offer,” said Ross, Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield.

“The combination of strong labor numbers, a central location between Miami and Atlanta, and a very supportive local government makes Florida Crossroads Logistics Center a true diamond in the rough for users looking to distribute to the Southeastern United States,” added Carswell, Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield.

Florida Crossroads Logistics Center is just minutes from I-75 and the Florida Turnpike. This central Florida location provides access to nine major Southeast U.S. ports and over 34 million residents. The building on-site offers 40-foot minimum clear height, cross dock loading, 210 dock high doors, four drive-in doors, dedicated spec office space, off dock parking for up to 393 trailers, and is available for immediate occupancy.
