How we handle commercial and industrial sites
A commercial site is bought for what can be built on it and for how customers, patients or trucks will reach it. We represent owners selling outparcels, pads and larger commercial and industrial parcels, and we represent the users and developers buying them: retail and drive-through concepts, medical and dental groups, self-storage developers, small-bay industrial users and distributors.
The questions are different from residential land. Site geometry, parking ratios, drive-through stacking, dock access and truck turning radii decide whether a parcel works for a given use long before price does. We work through those with your engineer or architect early, so the parcels we bring you — or the buyers we bring to your parcel — are the ones that actually fit.
Who we represent
-
Owners of outparcels and excess land
Shopping-center owners with an outparcel to sell, industrial owners with excess acreage, and families holding corner parcels on the corridors where users want to be.
-
Users and developers
Franchisees and operators who want to own their real estate, self-storage and industrial developers, and merchant builders assembling a pad-ready site for a specific user.
Site types
- Retail outparcels and pads — shopping-center outparcels and freestanding corner sites for quick-service restaurants, fuel and convenience, banks, car washes and drive-through retail.
- Medical and office sites — pads near hospital campuses and along medical corridors for clinics, dental and specialty groups that want to own their building.
- Self-storage sites — parcels with the zoning, visibility and traffic that storage developers underwrite against.
- Industrial acreage and small-bay sites — land for warehouse, contractor, flex and distribution buildings near the I-95 and I-4 interchanges and the logistics parks being built around them.
How we work
- Program For a buyer: the use, building size, parking and access needs, and the trade area. For a seller: what the parcel supports and which uses will pay the most for it.
- Site review Zoning and permitted uses, site geometry, frontage, access and utilities, checked against the program before anyone spends money on engineering.
- Pricing A broker opinion of value for sellers; for buyers, comparable land sales per square foot or per acre and the cost to get the site pad-ready. A broker opinion of value is not an appraisal.
- Contract Purchase price, inspection period, entitlement or permit contingencies and closing timeline, negotiated with your attorney.
- Due diligence and closing Survey, environmental, geotechnical, title and any site-plan or permit approvals coordinated through the inspection period to closing.
What we analyze
- Zoning, permitted uses and any conditional-use requirements
- Frontage, access, median openings and traffic counts
- Site geometry: setbacks, parking ratios and drive-through stacking
- Utilities, stormwater and any shared-drainage arrangements
- Wetlands, floodplain and fill requirements
- Recorded restrictions, easements and reciprocal-access agreements
- Comparable land sales per square foot and per acre
- The approvals, fees and schedule to a building permit
Corridors we watch
Commercial and industrial sites trade on access, and the interstate interchanges in Volusia County are changing. A few of the projects we track when we price a site:

Frequently asked questions
What is an outparcel?
An outparcel is a smaller parcel at the edge of a shopping center or larger development, usually fronting the road, that is sold or developed separately from the main center — the corner where a bank, restaurant or fuel station sits. Outparcels typically come with recorded access, parking and drainage agreements with the main center, and those documents are part of the diligence.
How are commercial sites priced?
By the square foot of land or by the acre, against comparable sales, adjusted for what the site offers: corner versus in-line, traffic counts, access and median openings, visibility, and whether it is pad-ready with utilities and stormwater in place or still raw. A site that needs fill, offsite utilities or a rezoning trades at a discount to one that does not, and the discount is usually larger than the cost of the work because of the time involved.
We need a purpose-built facility. Can you help?
Yes. When a user needs a building designed around its operation, we handle the site search, the acquisition and the structuring of the project with the user’s design and construction team. See Build-to-suit & site selection.
Do you handle industrial condominiums?
Yes. Small-bay industrial condominiums let a contractor, distributor or service business own its space without buying a whole building or developing a site. We advise developers on pricing and pre-selling the units and represent owner-users and investors buying them; see our industrial & flex page.
