Orlando Industrial Demand Is Concentrating in the Right Places

John Nelson — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 11:20:00 +0000

When it comes to Florida’s industrial real estate market, Orlando is often viewed as a single, high-growth distribution and operations hub. For those of us on the ground, however, the more important story is that the market is no longer moving uniformly. According to Colliers’ market reports for the second quarter of 2026, the Central Florida market reached approximately 253.6 million square feet of industrial and flex inventory, while industrial vacancy improved to 7.4 percent from 7.5 percent in the first quarter. Those figures point to stable fundamentals overall; however, the reality is that demand is becoming more concentrated in well-connected submarkets with established infrastructure and modern industrial inventory. This shift is most visible among owner-users and tenants seeking less than 100,000 square feet. For these companies, location affects labor access, delivery times and operating costs. Large regional distribution users still evaluate sites through a broader logistics lens, often considering service radiuses of 200 to 400 miles, while smaller and midsized occupiers place greater weight on immediate connectivity. Southeast Orange County Southeast Orange County remains Orlando’s strongest industrial submarket because of its transportation connectivity, established infrastructure and concentration of modern industrial space. Southeast Orange County recorded 240,815 square feet of…

American Healthcare REIT Acquires Eight Seniors Housing Communities for $696M

Matthew Auchincloss — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0000

IRVINE, CALIF. — American Healthcare REIT Inc. (NYSE: AHR) has acquired eight senior housing communities in six states for $696 million. The properties, which collectively comprise 867 units and were built between 2020 and 2022, are located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Georgia. Newmark acted as AHR’s real estate advisor for the transaction. While there were multiple sellers, all eight properties were marketed together. AHR purchased 10 communities all together but assigned the purchase and sale agreements of two properties to another institutional investor. “This series of transactions is an example of disciplined capital allocation supported by strong execution,” says Jeff Hanson, chairman and CEO of AHR. “We understood that only a solution for all 10 communities would clear the market. Rather than either walking away from a highly strategic opportunity or compromising our capital allocation discipline to secure it, we constructed a solution that required neither.” The purchase gives the Irvine-based company a larger presence in the Northeastern seniors housing market. The Northeast properties in the portfolio are located primarily in wealthy suburban markets such as Philadelphia’s Main Line, Westport, Conn., and suburban Boston. AHR is strengthening this newfound foothold via a new operating relationship with Massachusetts-based LCB…
