PRESS RELEASE

The company’s 20th facility pushes its portfolio over 2 million square feet with its first South Florida location.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, September 3, 2025. WareSpace, a national provider of small warehouse spaces, has completed the acquisition of a 60,000 square-foot industrial property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, marking a major expansion milestone as the company’s 20th facility and pushing its total portfolio over 2 million square feet nationwide.

Located at 700 NW 57th Court in the heart of Broward County, the property sits just minutes from I-95 and 15 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, positioning WareSpace to serve the broader tri-county metro area with professional small business infrastructure.

The Fort Lauderdale acquisition represents WareSpace’s first location in South Florida, tapping into one of the nation’s most dynamic small business markets where traditional warehouse options have largely ignored businesses operating between garage startups and full-scale distribution operations.

“Hitting 20 facilities and 2 million square feet feels significant, but what really excites us is bringing our model to South Florida’s incredible entrepreneurial community,” said Levi Cohen, CEO at WareSpace. “The tri-county area has thousands of small businesses that need professional warehouse space without the traditional industrial lease nightmares. We’re here to solve that problem.”

The Fort Lauderdale facility is expected to serve over 100 small businesses across the broader tri-county metro, from eCommerce operators ready to graduate from home-based fulfillment to contractors who need more than truck storage, plus light manufacturers and creative entrepreneurs seeking professional workspace to scale their operations.

“South Florida represents one of the most compelling small business markets in the country,” said Jeff Jenkins, VP of Acquisitions at WareSpace. “The entrepreneurial energy here is unmatched, and we’re seeing consistent demand for exactly what we provide: professional warehouse space sized for how modern small businesses actually operate.”

The property’s strategic location provides businesses with easy access to major transportation corridors while remaining accessible to the diverse small business community throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.

“Fort Lauderdale gives us an incredible platform to support South Florida’s small business community with the infrastructure they need to thrive,” said Joseph Ely, COO at WareSpace. “From startups scaling out of garages to established companies streamlining their logistics, we’re building the foundation that helps these businesses grow.”

The Fort Lauderdale location will offer private warehouse units ranging from 200 to 2,000 square feet, each including climate control, 24/7 secure access, loading docks, WiFi, industrial racking, and access to shared amenities including kitchen, conference rooms, and lounge areas. All units feature WareSpace’s signature all-inclusive pricing and lease terms as short as six months. See the Fort Lauderdale location page for current availability.

This acquisition, along with others planned this year, reinforces WareSpace’s mission to solve America’s small warehouse shortage by transforming underutilized properties into thriving business communities that actually support local economic growth.
