Industrial User Profile Evolves - Fall 2000

Ten years ago, Sarasota County’s typical industrial user required a building with 90% warehouse and approximately 10% air-conditioned office area.  Today demand is for 20% warehouse and 80% air-conditioned office/R&D space. We still have some straight warehouse users, but the profile of “industrial” businesses is changing with the times. Not surprisingly, so are their space needs.
