Polk County market has "strong outlook" for commercial real estate

Buoyed by strong demand by logistics operators and developers, the outlook for Polk County commercial real estate is “strong,” according to commercial real estate brokerage firm Coldwell Banker Commercial Saunders Ralston Dantzler Realty.

The company notes the county, and specifically the Lakeland-Winter Haven metropolitan statistical area, is the sixth fastest growing in the U.S., and has a population exceeding 20.2 million within a five-hour drive — making the area an idea locale for distributors such as Walmart, Amazon, Coca-Cola and other Fortune 500 companies.
