About Polk County

Polk County enjoys easy access to both Tampa and Orlando via Interstate 4. Polk County’s population is growing at a faster rate than the state. Lakeland is the most populous city in the area, and more than 25% of its residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Although well-known as the headquarters of Publix supermarkets, Lakeland has seen substantial recent deliveries from major firms, including an 830,000 SF distribution center for Medline, the approximately one million SF Amazon distribution center, and two million SF from the two-building Walmart Distribution Center. Amazon also recently completed a 283,000 SF air cargo distribution hub and will be the sole tenant in Prologis' under construction 1 million SF distribution center.

The employment here is noticeably skewed towards the industrial sector. For example, the largest employment sector in Lakeland is retail/wholesale trade and trucking/warehouse employment is approximately seven percent of the workforce, roughly twice the national average. The metro also captures spillover demand from nearby Tampa and Orlando and maintains both a larger inventory of available space as well as lower asking rental rates.
