New branding to reflect the inland port’s strategic location as a center point for distribution throughout the state

JLL announces today that the Central Florida Intermodal Logistics Center, one the nation’s top 10 inland ports, will now be known as Florida’s Gateway. The new branding reinforces the 932-acre project’s key location at the center of the state’s population. Florida’s Gateway is planned for over 8 million square feet of industrial development that will operate as a distribution and logistics hub serving all of Florida situated at 4100 Logistics Parkway in Winter Haven, Florida.

JLL Senior Vice Presidents Joe Hills and Josh Lipoff and Vice Presidents Ryan Burrows and Steve Ostrowski serve as the exclusive leasing team for Florida’s Gateway, the region’s premier intermodal logistics center. They are joined by Managing Director and Leader of JLL’s Port, Airports and Global Infrastructure Practice, Mark Levy, and Managing Director Keith Stauber.

Florida’s Gateway will consist of over 8 million square feet of industrial and distribution space with build-to-suit space opportunities available ranging from 200,000 square feet to 1.8 million square feet. A class A distribution facility totaling 407,400 square feet is currently available for single or multi-tenant use.

“The new branding solidifies the integral role Florida’s Gateway will play in the future of Central Florida, acting as a lead distributor in the transportation of goods to all major population centers in the state,” said JLL”s Joe Hills. “Florida’s Gateway is an ideal solution for industrial users seeking maritime access, port connectivity, proximity to rail, and access to multiple markets from a chief distribution point.”

The state-of-the-art industrial development offers immediate highway access via I-4, US 27 and SR 60 and connectivity to 18 million people within half a day’s drive. Florida’s Gateway is adjacent to the CSX Winter Haven Intermodal, an innovative facility that features loading tracks and arrival and departure tracks with the capacity to process 300,000 containers annually and the ability to increase capacity in the future.

“Florida’s Gateway will be a central logistics hub that will effectively serve the state’s increasing population and its growing demand for goods and services,” said JLL’s Josh Lipoff.
