Large Warehouses for Sale and Lease in Sarasota, FL — Three Properties Worth a Serious Look

If you're searching for large warehouse or industrial space in Sarasota, you already know how tight the market has been. Quality industrial properties — especially those with outdoor storage, heavy power, and functional loading — don't stay available long in Southwest Florida. When they do come up, serious operators move fast.

We currently have three standout properties available in Sarasota that are worth putting on your radar: a large-scale industrial facility with over an acre of outdoor storage near SRQ Airport, a centrally located flex warehouse condo with impressive ceiling height near Downtown, and a 12,000 SF warehouse with direct access to I-75. Here's a closer look at all three.

1227 Hardin Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34243

Property 1: ±44,596 SF Industrial Facility with IOS — 1227 Hardin Avenue, Sarasota

Available for Sale and Lease

This is one of the more compelling industrial opportunities to come to market in Sarasota in recent years. The property sits just north of Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport on Hardin Avenue — a location that gives you immediate access to major corridors while keeping your operation close to the heart of the region's industrial base.

The Space

At ±44,596 square feet of industrial and light manufacturing space, this building is built to handle serious operations. The standout feature is the ±1.1 acres of Improved Outdoor Storage (IOS) — secured yard space that's increasingly rare and valuable in this market. Whether you're running a fleet of vehicles, staging equipment, managing materials inventory, or simply need overflow capacity, that acre-plus of usable yard changes what your business can do.

Other highlights include:

  • 12 overhead doors — rare for a single facility in this market, and a significant operational advantage for businesses with high loading volume

  • Heavy power — a critical feature for manufacturers, HVAC contractors, electrical contractors, and equipment-intensive operators

  • Hardin Avenue frontage — visibility, signage opportunity, and easy logistics access

Who This Property Is For

This property is an exceptional fit for:

  • Contractors — HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and site contractors who need a centralized home base with yard space for equipment, materials, and fleet parking

  • Equipment rental companies — the IOS acreage gives you room to inventory, stage, and turn equipment without the constraints of a cramped industrial park

  • Light manufacturers and distributors — the heavy power and 12 OHDs make this a genuine operations hub, not just a storage box

  • Industrial investors — available for sale with flexible lease options, this property offers both owner-user and investment potential

Why Sarasota's Industrial Market Is Worth Acting On Now

Sarasota and Manatee County have seen sustained population and business growth over the past several years, and the industrial market has tightened considerably as a result. Vacancy rates for quality industrial space remain low — particularly properties with outdoor storage, heavy power, and functional loading infrastructure. 

For owner-users, the window to acquire well-located industrial properties at today's pricing may not stay open long. For tenants, securing a quality space before the next wave of demand hits is a real strategic advantage. All three properties featured here offer functional space, in good locations, available now.
