Qube: Revolutionizing Cold Storage in South Florida

The demand for cold storage facilities in South Florida is on the rise, driven by the region's thriving international trade, growing cruise industry, and expanding pharmaceutical sector. However, the current supply of cold storage warehouses is struggling to keep pace with this increasing demand, creating a unique opportunity for commercial real estate owners and entrepreneurs to capitalize on this scarcity.

At Qube, we recognize the immense potential in retrofitting existing warehouses with state-of-the-art insulated panels and refrigeration systems to create much-needed cold storage space. By leveraging our extensive experience in cold storage equipment and real estate, we are uniquely positioned to help property owners and businesses address this critical shortage.

The numbers speak for themselves. According to a recent report by the CBRE Group, South Florida is set to add over 400,000 square feet of cold storage space in the coming years, a significant increase from the current average of less than 10 cooler deals per year. This growth is fueled by several key factors, including:

1. Increased imports of perishable goods, such as fresh-cut flowers from Colombia and Ecuador, and salmon fillets from Chile.
2. Miami International Airport's designation as a "Pharma Hub," leading to a 49% increase in pharmaceutical product traffic between 2017 and 2018.
3. The expansion of cruise ship terminals at PortMiami and Port Everglades, driving demand for cold storage to supply the growing number of passengers.
4. The thriving restaurant scene in South Florida, which requires ample cold storage space for food distribution.

By retrofitting existing warehouses with Qube's cutting-edge insulation and refrigeration solutions, property owners can tap into this growing demand and command higher lease rates. Our innovative approach not only maximizes the value of existing real estate assets but also provides a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to constructing new cold storage facilities from the ground up.

For entrepreneurs, the cold storage shortage presents a golden opportunity to build businesses that address this critical need. By partnering with Qube, entrepreneurs can access the expertise, technology, and resources necessary to create efficient and profitable cold storage operations that serve the diverse needs of South Florida's businesses.
