Who is in the building
The sale announcement says the building is fully leased to Duke Energy, a Fortune 150 company and the largest power distributor in America, and serves as its Florida headquarters and distribution hub. It puts the whole of Central Florida and Duke Energy's southeastern service area within ten hours of the dock. What the tenant ships is not stated.
Between Orlando and Tampa
JLL describes the location as strategic, between Orlando and Tampa. Osborn Airfield, a private airfield that is open for general aviation, lies three miles southwest of the city.
The 2025 sale
JLL Capital Markets announced on June 26, 2025 the $97.25 million sale of the building by its developer, Scannell Properties, to Goldman Sachs Alternatives.
Floor per door
Dividing 977,441 square feet by 212 dock-high doors gives about 4,600 square feet of floor per door. That is a sizing figure for the building, not a count of pallets or trucks. The 235 trailer spaces against 212 doors work out to about 1.1 parked trailers for every door.
Where it sits in the county
Groveland is a city in Lake County at the intersection of State Road 19 and State Road 33/50, in the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metropolitan area. Its ZIP code is 34736, and the dock has access to Florida's Turnpike, US 27, I-4 and I-75.
What the broker says about the market
The release quotes a JLL managing director saying the Orlando industrial market has had 15 consecutive years of positive absorption, which means more space has been taken up than added. It is a broker's statement in a sale announcement, so read it as that, and not as a measure of any one dock.
Growth around the dock
Groveland counted 2,360 residents in 2000, 8,729 in 2010 and 18,505 in 2020, an increase of 112 percent in the last decade, and the 2022 estimate is 22,374. The 2020 census found 6,398 households, and the city is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metropolitan statistical area. The city covers 27.46 square miles, 6.62 of them water, and has a disused train depot.
