MIAMI, July 29, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the sale of Sawgrass Distribution Center, a fully leased, 131,800-square-foot multi-tenant industrial property in Sunrise. The asset is located at 770 International Parkway within the Sunrise International Corporate Park in western Broward County.
JLL represented the seller, Clarion Partners, in the transaction. MDH Partners acquired the asset.
Built in 1989 and renovated in 2020, Sawgrass Distribution Center features seven rear-load bays with an average suite size of approximately 16,475 square feet. The property offers 24-foot clear heights, 19 dock-high doors, two drive-in doors and two grade-level doors across a 100-foot truck court. Roughly 85% of the building's warehouse space is climate controlled, catering to specialized tenant operations in distribution, health care, construction and manufacturing sectors.
The property sits within one of South Florida's most supply-constrained industrial markets, located five minutes from the Sawgrass Expressway and Interstate 595. The location provides immediate access to Florida's Turnpike and Interstate 95, as well as proximity to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades. The facility serves a 90-minute drive-time population of more than 6.5 million residents across the tri-county South Florida region.
The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Director Luis Castillo, Managing Director Cody Brais and Associate Taylor Osborne.
"The extraordinary level of competition for this asset speaks to the scarcity of well-located industrial properties in Southwest Broward," Brais said. "Investors recognized the rare combination of stable cash flow from creditworthy tenants, superior connectivity to South Florida’s 6.5 million population base within a 90 minutes’ drive and meaningful embedded upside through lease renewals in a market where development remains severely constrained."
