The Space Coast isn’t just launching rockets
If you’re a developer or investor hunting for the next massive opportunity, stop looking at the usual suspects. While the rest of Florida fights over scraps in Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, the real money is being made right here—on Florida’s Space Coast. Over the next five years, smart investments in commercial real estate will double in value, fueled by a business-first growth strategy, a white-hot aerospace boom, and a no-BS approach to infrastructure.
A Business-Driven Growth Strategy That Delivers
Unlike regions that hand off their strategies to out-of-touch consultants, the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast (EDC) built its game plan from the ground up—by businesses, for businesses.
The result? A $7 billion pipeline of 136 active projects. This isn’t a “hope and pray” strategy—it’s a calculated push to land the biggest deals.
But here’s the kicker: speed is everything. Delays in permitting and a lack of move-in-ready facilities mean the best spots are going fast. If you wait, you’ll be paying double later.
The Aerospace Takeover is Just Getting Started
The Space Coast has always been about space travel—but now, it’s becoming an aerospace and manufacturing empire.
20% of all development projects are aerospace-related—and that number is climbing.
Supply chain manufacturers are flooding in, desperate for industrial space, warehouses, and high-tech office hubs.
Future-forward industries like rare earth mineral production and advanced manufacturing are just getting started.
Bottom line? Develop now. Property values will skyrocket.
Workforce Readiness: The Talent is Already Here
A booming business scene is nothing without a skilled workforce.
Ranked #8 for prime workforce—businesses have access to top-tier talent.
Military transition programs are injecting highly skilled veterans into the private sector.
Certified Production Technician (CPT) Programs boast an 80% placement rate—ensuring the workforce is prepped and ready.
A massive workforce study (spanning 15 companies and 30,000 employees) is shaping training programs to guarantee no labor shortages.
For investors, this means your tenants and buyers will never struggle to hire.
Infrastructure: No Red Tape, Just Solutions
Other regions are bogged down by bureaucracy—not here. The Space Coast is tackling infrastructure bottlenecks before they become problems:
Major wastewater treatment upgrades opening the floodgates for large developments.
LNG feasibility studies are ensuring a long-term fuel supply for the aerospace sector.
