Colliers International’s Dan Miller and Fred Kolb, CCIM, MBA, are handling preleasing for Premier Airport Park. The 225-acre industrial and distribution complex recently broke ground at Premiere Airport Parkway in Fort Myers, near Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) and I-75.
When completed, the park will total 1.875 million square feet. Principal Real Estate Investors, an Iowa-based real estate investment group, is the developer.
Similar Class-A industrial complexes are common in Florida’s larger markets like Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando. However, this is the first Class- A industrial and distribution complex in the area and the largest speculative complex in Southwest Florida to be built since the economic downturn.
“With the continued economic growth of Southwest Florida, combined with its easy access to geographic markets to the north and east, this area is ready for a Class-A industrial facility,” said Miller. “We expect Premier Airport Park to revolutionize last-mile distribution in Southwest Florida, providing a facility that will work well for a variety of users.”
The space at Premier Airport Park allows for high-cube warehousing, industrial uses and manufacturing. Construction features include impact windows, fast-response fire sprinkler systems, 32-foot clear ceiling height and a significant number of loading doors.
The first building will total 105,000sf, with tenant spaces starting at 9,000sf. It is expected to be ready for occupancy this fall. For more information, visit premierairportpark.com.
