Increasing Rental Rates, Record Construction Define Orlando’s Industrial Market

by John Nelson October 2, 2023

Orlando’s industrial market continues to maintain strong market fundamentals.

Thanks in part to Fort Carson Army base on its southern edge and the U.S. Air Force Academy to its north, the seat of El Paso County is home to an assortment of aerospace and defense manufacturers, as well as other industry clusters ranging from medical equipment makers to suppliers of semiconductor components. “It’s a military-friendly community that offers a lot of support for entrepreneurs and families just separating from their respective branches,” says Megan Mechikoff, an associate broker specializing in industrial real estate at NAI Highland Commercial Group. “That generates a lot of startups that work directly for the Department of Defense or attach themselves to a larger brand like Lockheed Martin or Northrop Grumman.” Colorado Springs attracts employers with its highly educated workforce, affordable cost of living and excellent quality of life, which includes mild winters on the protected Eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and proximity to outdoor activities and winter sports, Mechikoff says.
