Bridge Industrial is planning to redevelop a corporate campus in Doral, Florida, into nearly 270,000 square feet of warehouse space. This move reflects an ongoing trend in South Florida where developers are converting older suburban office complexes into industrial or residential projects.

The new development, called Bridge Point Doral 826, will consist of two warehouses totaling 268,700 square feet on a 16-acre site at 7775 Northwest 48th Street. According to the developer’s announcement, site preparations are underway and completion is expected in the third quarter of 2027.

Bridge Industrial, based in Chicago and led by Steve Poulos with Kevin Carroll overseeing leasing for the Southeast region, purchased the property last year for $45.4 million. The previous owners, managed by Richard and Warren Zinn of Miami, acquired the Corporate Park of Doral for $7.8 million in 2010. The existing eight-building complex spans about 192,800 square feet and was originally built in the 1970s.

Bridge has developed or planned a total of 11 million square feet of industrial projects across South Florida’s tri-county area.

This project marks Bridge’s second conversion from office to industrial use in Miami-Dade County. Last year, the company secured a $53 million construction loan to build Bridge Point Flagler Station—two warehouses totaling 326,400 square feet—on the former headquarters site of Ryder Systems at 11690 Northwest 105th Street. Ryder had occupied that property since 2005 but relocated its headquarters to Coral Gables due to reduced office space needs associated with hybrid work arrangements.

Other similar redevelopment projects are occurring nearby. Hamilton Development from Nashville plans to demolish Flagler Station office buildings at two addresses on Northwest 117th Avenue and replace them with more than 300,000 square feet of industrial space spread over two facilities.

In Boca Raton, a partnership between Related Group (led by the Pérez family), BH Group (Toledano family), and Pebb Enterprises intends to turn one office building at the Office Depot campus into a residential building with 500 apartments; two other office buildings on that campus will remain unchanged.

Additionally, Keystone Development + Investment is working on creating 212 apartments within existing office buildings near Dadeland Mall at two addresses on South Dadeland Boulevard in Miami-Dade’s Kendall neighborhood.
