The commercial landscape continues to evolve in South Florida and is pushed along by the changing lifestyles and habits of our residents. Here are just a few of the many examples that demonstrate how commercial properties have adapted in recent years:

• The massive shift to online shopping has spurred greater demand for warehouse space,
• Flexible work arrangements have left some office parks empty and available for new opportunities,
• A greater demand for at-home living space has resulted in changes to multi-unit housing developments,
• Mixed-use developments are on the rise due to their opportunities for investor diversification
• And more.

No longer are commercial properties restricted to a single use or limited by whatever function the building previously served. The best use for a new commercial property is truly up to the imagination, so long as it falls within city and building requirements and regulations.

Where to Start When Evaluating a Commercial Property

When considering opportunities for a new commercial property, understanding the lay of the land in terms of market opportunities and demographics is a logical place to start, but so too is talking with local building contractors. They have a pulse on what’s trending in new developments and can provide a helpful point-of-view when trying to make determinations about the viability of a project.
