Florida: The Lease Tax Revolution

Florida is making moves. The business rent tax is gone.

As of 2026, the landscape for Florida commercial leases has transformed. The state and local sales tax on commercial real estate leases is repealed. This is a game changer for investors. This is a victory for tenants.

The Impact of Tax Repeal:

  • 0% State Tax: The previous 2% state tax is history.
  • Reduced Occupancy Costs: Tenants save 3% to 3.5% on total lease payments.
  • Increased NOI: Landlords see higher Net Operating Income.
  • Competitive Edge: Florida now leads the nation as a low-tax haven for business.

The repeal applies to office, retail, and industrial spaces. If you own commercial property in Florida, your assets are more attractive than ever. The demand for tax-advantaged space is rising. We represent landlords. We represent tenants. We know how to leverage this tax shift to your advantage.

Georgia: The Industrial Powerhouse

Georgia dominates logistics. The Port of Savannah is a titan.

Georgia enters 2026 as an industrial fortress. Metro Atlanta remains a global logistics hub. The fundamentals are strong. The vacancy rates are stabilizing. The rental growth is steady.

Industrial Strength in Georgia:

  • Stable Vacancy: Rates sit between 8% and 9%. The market is healthy.
  • Rent Growth: Asking rents remain near all-time highs. Growth is consistent at 2% to 6%.
  • Measured Supply: Construction is disciplined. We see 23 million square feet under development.
  • Port Proximity: Savannah continues to drive demand for warehouse and flex space.

Investors choose Georgia for stability. Investors choose Georgia for predictable cash flow. We specialize in industrial spaces. We understand the logistics corridor. We protect your industrial investments with fierce advocacy.

Multi-Family: Supply and Demand Realities

The multi-family market requires a strategic approach. Markets are shifting.

In 2026, the story is about supply. Georgia is tightening. Florida is diversifying. You must choose your submarkets with precision.

The Georgia Multi-Family Recovery

Atlanta is entering a constructive phase. The massive supply of previous years is fading.

  • Slow Deliveries: Only 8,400 units are forecast for 2026. This is the slowest pace in a decade.
  • Falling Vacancy: Rates are dropping toward the 5.5% mark.
  • Rent Growth: Atlanta ranks second in the nation for rent growth forecasts at 4.1%.

Georgia is the choice for value-add investors. The supply pressure is lifting. The yields are returning.

The Florida Multi-Family Barbell

Florida presents a split market. Miami is tight. Tampa and Orlando are digesting supply.

  • Miami Strength: High occupancy and low vacancy (6.6%).
  • Oversupply Risks: Tampa and Orlando face higher vacancy rates near 10%.
  • Secondary Opportunities: North Central Florida is emerging. Lakeland and Ocala are growing.

We guide you through these disparities. We identify the oversupplied traps. We find the high-growth gems.
