The industrial landscape of Fort Myers is evolving to meet the demands of a modern workforce. Construction has officially commenced on The Hub at Daniels, a five-building industrial park located at the intersection of Saddle Road and Halter Lane. This project is specifically designed to provide flexible, high-spec “flex space” for businesses that require a blend of warehouse capacity and professional office functionality.
As local area experts, we recognize that the corridor east of Daniels Parkway and Treeline Avenue has become a primary engine for regional growth. Its proximity to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) makes it an ideal location for service providers, light manufacturers, and e-commerce logistics.

High-Spec Features for the Modern Tenant
The Hub at Daniels Fort Myers is separating itself from traditional industrial “grey boxes” by offering a suite of technology and convenience features typically found in high-end office parks:
-
Interior Heights: Clear heights range from 17 to 34 feet, allowing for significant vertical storage and mezzanine potential.

Strategic Location and Regional Impact
When fully completed, The Hub at Daniels will total 160,900 square feet across five buildings. The project is strategically located just five minutes from the airport, providing a critical link for businesses that rely on air freight or require easy access to the I-75 corridor.
Leasing for Building 500 is currently being handled by Colliers, with market veterans Dan Miller and Dan Rockenstein leading the effort. While the developer has not disclosed specific construction costs, the scale and technological investment indicate a significant commitment to the long-term vitality of the Fort Myers industrial market.
