Why Allapattah

Allapattah is Miami’s closest industrial submarket to Downtown, Wynwood, and the Health District, making it a hotspot for urban last-mile logistics, cold storage, and redevelopment investment.

Known historically as a working-class industrial neighborhood, Allapattah today attracts food distributors, medical suppliers, logistics operators, and developers looking to reposition warehouses into creative spaces, storage, or mixed-use projects. Its central location and zoning flexibility make it one of the most unique industrial corridors in Miami.
