STRO Expands National Industrial Platform With New Fort Lauderdale Office, Accelerates Growth Across Florida

STRO, a national industrial real estate investor, developer, and operator, has announced the opening of a new office in Fort Lauderdale as part of its continued expansion across Florida and other high-growth Southeastern markets.

The new South Florida office will support STRO’s rapidly growing Florida portfolio, which now includes 10 industrial buildings totaling approximately 1 million square feet. The expansion represents a key milestone in the firm’s broader national growth strategy as it scales its presence in supply-constrained industrial markets.

STRO’s increased footprint in Southeast Florida follows several years of active acquisitions across Western and Northeast Florida. With Florida emerging as one of the most competitive markets in the country for infill and small-bay industrial assets, the firm is prioritizing Southeast Florida as the next phase of its statewide growth.

To support its expanding portfolio, STRO has also hired Connor Briggs as Senior Property Manager, adding operational capacity as the company continues to grow its industrial holdings throughout the state.

Kevin Bramhall, Director of Southeast Acquisitions, is leading STRO’s Florida expansion strategy, focusing on the acquisition of functional, well-located industrial assets that serve logistics, distribution, and last-mile users.

“Having a second office in Florida positions us to capitalize on the tremendous momentum we’re seeing across the state,” said Steve Millstein, President, Founder, and Principal of STRO. “We’re committed to deepening our presence in Florida and continuing to acquire high-quality industrial assets that meet the needs of today’s small-bay, mid-bay, and last-mile operators. This office further strengthens our ability to execute quickly and deliver for our tenants.”

The Fort Lauderdale expansion also reinforces STRO’s long-standing partnership with The KRE Group, with whom the firm has completed multiple acquisitions in Florida. Together, the groups are actively targeting infill industrial properties that align with the evolving demands of modern logistics and e-commerce users across Florida, the Northeast, and other key markets nationwide.

“Florida’s industrial market continues to demonstrate exceptional fundamentals, and STRO’s expanded presence reflects the strength of the opportunities ahead,” said Jonathan Kushner, President of The KRE Group. “Our partnership is built on disciplined investment and a long-term vision, and we look forward to continuing to acquire well-located, small-bay, and last-mile industrial assets together. This expansion further enhances our ability to serve tenants and pursue high-quality opportunities across the Southeast.”
