Industrial development and investor interest are intensifying in Florida’s Space Coast region. Brevard County is home to Kennedy Space Center and Patrick Space Force Base, and industrial demand in recent years has been driven in part by a fast pace of growth within companies engaged in aerospace and space exploration. Smaller than 33 million square feet in size, the broader Melbourne market ranks in the top 10 industrial markets in Florida for the tightest vacancy rate, which is currently 3.8% as of the first quarter of 2025.
