MARKET SPOTLIGHT | Sarasota/Manatee Industrial Market

Although not typically considered a viable distribution hub -- especially as compared to the Interstate 4 corridor, between Tampa and Orlando — Sarasota and Manatee counties contain many of the same attributes that make Central Florida desirable for logistics firms. The two counties have easy highway access to Interstate 75, solid population growth rates and a central location on the west coast from which millions of Sunshine State residents can be reached within a day's drive.
