Bridge Industrial has announced plans to redevelop a corporate campus in Doral into nearly 270,000 square feet of warehouse space. The project reflects an ongoing trend in South Florida, where developers are transforming older suburban office complexes into industrial or residential projects.

The company, based in Chicago and led by Steve Poulos with Kevin Carroll handling Southeast region leasing, will build the Bridge Point Doral 826 development on a 16-acre site at 7775 Northwest 48th Street. According to the developer’s news release, the two warehouses will total 268,700 square feet. Site preparations are underway, and completion is expected in the third quarter of 2027.

Bridge acquired the property last year for $45.4 million. Records indicate that Richard and Warren Zinn managed the selling entity and had previously purchased Corporate Park of Doral for $7.8 million in 2010. The current complex consists of eight buildings totaling approximately 192,800 square feet and was completed in the 1970s.

According to Bridge’s release, it is a major industrial developer in South Florida with about 11 million square feet of completed and planned projects across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

This is Bridge’s second office-to-industrial redevelopment project in Miami-Dade County. Last year, it secured a $53 million construction loan to develop Bridge Point Flagler Station—two warehouses totaling 326,400 square feet—on Ryder Systems’ former headquarters site at 11690 Northwest 105th Street. Ryder Systems moved its headquarters to Coral Gables as part of downsizing efforts linked to hybrid work arrangements.

Other developers are also pursuing similar projects nearby. Hamilton Development from Nashville plans to demolish Flagler Station office buildings near Doral and replace them with over 300,000 square feet of industrial facilities. In Boca Raton, Related Group (led by the Pérez family), BH Group (Toledano family), and Pebb Enterprises intend to convert one building at Office Depot’s campus into a new apartment complex while keeping two other office buildings intact. Keystone Development + Investment is developing apartments at existing office properties near Dadeland Mall in Kendall.
