The Melbourne Industrial Market
Melbourne industrial rides the Space Coast’s aerospace and advanced-manufacturing boom — one of the tightest industrial markets in the state, with vacancy well below the Florida average as launch-economy demand grows. Average asking rent runs about $13.71/SF per year, vacancy sits near 3.4%, and the modeled market cap rate is around 8.2% (Ironmark research, 3Q 2026), with closed sales trading near 7.0%. Scarce space and specialized users make this a market where knowing the owners and the coming supply is a genuine edge.

Melbourne Submarkets We Cover
We work the full Melbourne industrial market and its submarkets — Palm Bay, Rockledge, Titusville and Cocoa — matching owners and occupiers to the right corridor. Where a building sits changes both its value and its buyer or tenant pool, so submarket-level knowledge is where a local broker earns their fee.
Melbourne Industrial: Rent and Yield in Context
Melbourne has the tightest industrial vacancy of the ten Florida markets in Ironmark’s 3Q 2026 data, at 3.4% — against 16.3% in Port St. Lucie. In a market this tight the constraint on a deal is supply rather than price, and the first question is whether anything suitable exists at all.
Average asking rent is $13.71 per SF per year, between $17.32 in Fort Lauderdale and $8.69 in Jacksonville. The market cap rate is 8.2% — wide of Miami at 5.9% and inside Fort Myers at 8.5%.
