The numbers are in for South Florida’s biggest industrial leases of 2021.
Of the top five, Amazon takes two spots, fewer than in 2020, when the e-commerce behemoth snagged four of the five top spots.
The average square footage of the top five industrial leases this year rose slightly — to 258,530 square feet from 223,520 square feet last year — but is still far below 2019’s average of 448,562 square feet.
Of the top five leases, all are new except for one renewal.
