A Tampa-based company that announced it had purchased a $23.5 million industrial complex in Clearwater said it is pursuing similar opportunities in Jacksonville and considers the city a key growth market.
Bromley Industrial Partners, the industrial investment platform of Bromley Cos., announced May 18 it had purchased the two-building, 200,000-square-foot complex in Clearwater from Blue Steel Development.
“The acquisition represents Bromley Industrial Partners’ largest industrial transaction in the Tampa Bay region to date and reflects the firm’s continued expansion of its Florida-focused industrial platform,” the release said.
“The deal aligns with the firm’s strategy of targeting supply-constrained urban infill industrial assets that support last-mile distribution, local manufacturing, and essential service businesses, particularly tenants with location-dependent operations and long-term occupancy needs.”
Bromley said in the release it has multiple additional properties under contract and is pursuing acquisitions in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa Bay and South Florida.
Asked whether the company had any holdings in Jacksonville, a public relations representative for the company said Bromley expected to make an announcement soon about its activity in the market.
“Bromley views Jacksonville as one of Florida’s most important long-term industrial growth markets due to its port activity, infrastructure access, and continued demand for smaller infill industrial space,” the representative said in an email.
