Broward County Welcomes Doka USA to Davie Industrial Center
Exciting things are happening in Broward County as Doka USA, a subsidiary of a worldwide leader in forming and scaffolding equipment, has just secured a substantial lease for a brand new facility at the Davie Industrial Center. Covering a whopping 42,866 square feet, this new space will play a pivotal role in establishing Doka’s regional offices in sunny South Florida.
The Hub for Formwork and Scaffolding
What can residents expect from this new development? Well, aside from office space, the new facility will also be equipped for storage and maintenance of Doka’s extensive range of formwork and scaffolding products. This will not only enhance their operational capabilities but will also support local jobs and the economy.
Fresh Construction in the Neighborhood
Currently, the Davie Industrial Center is sprouting up at 3055 Burris Road and is scheduled to kick off operations by early April. This facility is not just any industrial building; it boasts impressive features such as 24-foot clear ceilings and a robust layout complete with 36 grade-level doors and 18 drive-thru service bays. This means easy access and efficiency for Doka’s day-to-day operations.
Space for Everyone
The site itself sits on a spacious nine-acre lot, providing ample room for up to 115 truck trailers. This is crucial for a business that relies heavily on logistics and transporting materials. Doka USA, which has been in the business for a remarkable 150 years and operates 180 sales and logistics centers in 58 countries, is sure to make the most of this well-planned facility.
Let’s Talk Numbers
It’s important to note that the Davie Industrial Center is being developed by Industrial Outdoor Ventures, which purchased the land formerly known as the Twin Lakes Travel Park for $64 million back in October 2021. Since construction started in May 2023, the industrial sector in South Florida has been heating up, fueled by a blend of high-income households and a surge in new businesses.
Leasing Trends in South Florida
While the flurry of leasing activity seen in 2021 and 2022 has cooled down a bit, demand in the industrial sector remains healthy. Spaces at the new industrial center are currently listed around $18 per square foot, making it an appealing opportunity for companies looking to grow their footprint in the area.
