“We are excited to partner with FRP Development Corp on another joint venture,” said Seth Wise, Chairman of BBX Logistics Properties. “The Park at Davie is planned to provide modern logistics solutions that address the increasing needs of the market and Fort Lauderdale­-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades. We look forward to contributing to the economic growth of Davie and the broader South Florida region.”

“The acquisition of the Davie property is the culmination of an outstanding effort by our team to identify infill sites that are positioned to support best-in-class logistics properties,” said Mark Levy, President of BBX Logistics Properties. “Supply for modern logistics space is very limited, and we believe that space such as this is needed to serve regional consumer demand for speedier delivery. We are excited to work with the Town of Davie to bring this facility to fruition.”

The project’s location, just south of State Road 84 between University Drive and Davie Road, offers visibility and convenient access to major transportation arteries, including Florida Turnpike, I-595, I-95, and I-75. Its proximity to the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades, combined with its location relative to Miami and Palm Beach, positions the park to become a pivotal hub for logistics operations in South Florida such as last-mile direct-to-consumer distribution.

The initial phase of construction is currently expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024 with completion anticipated in 2025.

“We are thrilled to again partner with BBX Logistics Properties in the development of this Class A industrial property and expand our assets in Florida,” said David deVilliers, III, Executive Vice President of FRP Development Corp. “This venture underscores our shared commitment to economic growth and supply chain excellence in the region. Together, we look forward to delivering a world-class facility that is planned to serve as a cornerstone for logistics excellence in South Florida.”

BBX Logistics Properties and FRP recently announced another joint venture to develop The Park at Lakeland, which is expected to consist of approximately 213,500 square feet of logistics space on 22.5 acres in Lakeland, Florida. Both projects reflect the companies’ commitment to enhancing logistics infrastructure across key locations in Florida.
