2025 Central Florida Commercial Real Estate Outlook

As we move into 2025, the Central Florida commercial real estate market continues to present exciting opportunities. The lessons learned in 2024 have set the stage for a year filled with potential, especially for those who know where to look. Here’s what I’ve seen happening in the market and where I think we’re heading this coming year.

What We Learned in 2024

Industrial Strength in Sanford and Apopka
Last year, industrial properties remained a stronghold, with Sanford and Apopka standing out as key areas. With their access to major highways like I-4 and 429, these cities became magnets for logistics and distribution centers. Companies focused on streamlining their operations, and that trend is not slowing down.

Lake Nona Leads the Charge in Innovation
Lake Nona has continued to redefine what it means to blend innovation, healthcare, and business. The growth in Medical City and tech-forward office spaces is proof that this area is setting the tone for what’s next in Central Florida.

Retail Shift in Altamonte Springs and Clermont
Retail spaces are no longer just about shopping. Altamonte Springs saw creative developments that combined dining, entertainment, and traditional retail. Clermont has stepped up as well, with new projects catering to a growing population of families and professionals.

What to Watch for in 2025

Expanding Industrial Projects in Key Areas
Sanford and Apopka are continuing their rise as industrial powerhouses. The focus on distribution and e-commerce remains high, and developers are responding with new parks and facilities. If you’re considering investing in industrial properties, these cities should be on your radar.

Lake Nona’s Next Chapter
Lake Nona is only getting bigger and better. With a focus on tech companies, healthcare innovation, and sustainable development, this area will remain a magnet for investment. Expect to see even more high-profile tenants and forward-thinking projects here in 2025.

Downtown Orlando Reinventing Office Space
Office spaces in downtown Orlando are being reimagined. Older buildings are being transformed into vibrant, multi-purpose properties that offer work, live, and play options. This is a trend worth watching, especially as the demand for flexibility grows.

Suburban Stars: Winter Garden and Oviedo
Winter Garden’s Horizon West continues to attract families and businesses, with new retail and entertainment spaces leading the way. Oviedo is gaining momentum too, with mixed-use developments that cater to its expanding community. Both cities are creating opportunities for investors and tenants alike.

Clermont’s Continued Rise
Clermont’s population growth is driving demand for everything from retail to healthcare and office spaces. Developers are stepping in to meet that demand, making this city a key area to watch in 2025.
