For Owners
Sell Your Industrial Building in Florida
Industrial buyers pay for the details. Price yours on the ones that matter to them.
Price your flex building, multi-bay industrial park, manufacturing plant, truck terminal or contractor's yard, anywhere in Florida, on what its real buyer pays for. Industrial property is scarce and in demand, but each kind sells to a different buyer and is valued on different things. A licensed BreakThru Realty agent prices yours against the right comparables and puts it in front of the buyers who want that kind of building.

Your first step: Property Value & Disposition Review
Start With a Property Value and Disposition Review
Investors and owner-users price your building three ways: against the competition, against closed sales and on its income. The review shows you all three, where they meet, and the ways to sell that fit your timing and your tax position.
What you receive
- A broker's opinion of value from closed sales, competing listings and, for an income property, the rent roll and the cap rates buyers are paying
- The documents buyers and lenders will ask for, and which to prepare before listing
- Disposition options: open-market sale, confidential sale, sale-leaseback or a 1031 exchange, with the trade-offs
- The buyer profile for your property type and how we would reach it
- A written summary of the figures behind the opinion
What happens next
- Tell us the address, the property type and how the building is occupied.
- A commercial agent pulls the closed sales and the competing listings and prepares the review.
- We call within one business day to walk through it.
- You decide whether, when and how to sell.
Free and confidential. It is a broker's opinion of value, not an appraisal, and we never publish an estimate for a specific property.

Industrial Is Not One Market
A multi-bay park with twenty small tenants is valued on its rent roll and the ease of re-leasing a bay. A manufacturing plant is valued on power, floor load, cranes, ceiling height and the specialised improvements, which are worth a great deal to the right buyer and little to anyone else. A flex building is valued on its office-to-warehouse split. A contractor's yard is valued on fenced, zoned outdoor storage, which is rare. The pricing review identifies which market your building is in before it names a figure.
Who Buys Industrial
Owner-users buying their own plant or shop, often with an SBA 504 loan; investors buying multi-tenant parks for the rent roll; and developers who want the land for new construction where the zoning allows more. Industrial outdoor storage, truck parking and yards have their own buyers who pay for the zoning.
Preparing the Property
Survey, zoning and the certificate of use; the rent roll, leases and operating statements for a leased property; power and utility capacity; roof, air conditioning and crane records; environmental history and any Phase I report; and photographs of the bays, the yard and the office. Specialised equipment staying with the building is listed and valued separately.
Marketing and the Sale
The MLS listing, BreakThru Realty's industrial pages, direct outreach to registered buyers for that size and area, and the brokers who represent industrial users and investors. Letters of intent, a contract with a due-diligence period for inspections, environmental review, survey, title and financing, and closing coordinated with your attorney and the title company.
Questions you may be asking
- Can the sale be kept confidential?
- Yes. Financials go only to buyers who sign a confidentiality agreement, tours are by appointment, and a tenant-occupied building can be marketed without disturbing the tenants. The review sets out the options and the MLS rules that apply.
- What does it cost to sell?
- The commission is negotiable and agreed in writing in the listing agreement before anything is marketed. Other seller costs usually include title and closing charges and Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed; your closing agent confirms the figures.
- I am thinking about a 1031 exchange.
- Tell us before you sign anything: the exchange has to be set up before the sale closes. The review covers the timing, and your CPA and a qualified intermediary handle the tax side.
- How long will it take?
- Longer than a home. Pricing, marketing, a due-diligence period that commonly runs 30 to 60 days and financing all take time. The commercial market pages show how long listings like yours have been on the market today.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is an industrial building valued?
- A leased building on its net operating income and the cap rate buyers are paying for industrial; a vacant or owner-occupied building per square foot against comparable sales, adjusted for power, height, doors, yard and location. Specialised improvements are valued for the buyer who can use them.
- Is a multi-tenant industrial park harder to sell than a single building?
- No, often easier: investors like the diversified rent roll and the small bays re-lease quickly. The leases, the rent roll and the collection history have to be in order, because that is what the buyer is paying for.
- Can you sell a plant with the business still operating?
- Yes, by appointment and with a confidentiality agreement for buyers who see the financials. If the business is staying, a sale-leaseback sells the building to an investor and leases it back to you.
