Wildwood, Fla. (October 23, 2024) – A prime 358-acre site, known as 8 G Farms, is now available for sale and development within a burgeoning industrial node in Sumter County. This area has recently witnessed explosive growth, fueled by commitments from large distribution and e-commerce companies, making it a strategic opportunity for investors and developers alike.
According to the September 2024 Industrial Market Report by CommercialEdge, “the e-commerce sector appears to have rebalanced and is growing at a steady pace.” This trend is further supported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which reports that the warehouse and storage sector is also experiencing significant growth.
Located near The Villages at the intersection of Highway 44, the Florida Turnpike, and Interstate 75—an area known as the “Golden Triangle”—8 G Farms is uniquely positioned in a corridor where nearly 70 percent of all Florida truck traffic passes. The site offers convenient access to major markets, with Orlando just 50 minutes away, Jacksonville within 2 hours, and Miami approximately 4 hours distant.
“With recent interest rate cuts, now is the perfect time for investors to get off the sidelines and take advantage of outstanding opportunities like this,” said Justin Ruby, Partner and leader of industrial leasing in Central Florida for Foundry Commercial. “8 G Farms has already undergone rezoning for industrial development and has readily available utilities, making it ready for immediate investment.”
The property supports a variety of development types, including typical industrial, flex, manufacturing, and parking/IOS storage, providing flexibility for potential investors.
John A. Evans, Sr., Founder and President of Moonbeam Land Company, Inc., stated, “We envision two potential scenarios for this property. An industrial developer could purchase it outright and develop buildings on a speculation basis. Or, and we believe this to be more of a likely scenario, a specific user could purchase and develop the property suitable for their own industrial needs.”
