Bridge Industrial Inks 33,000 SF Lease with Barberi International at Bridge Point Doral
Firm Builds Preleasing Momentum at Sustainable Logistics Park with Second Tenant Secured as Phase I Nears Completion
Bridge Industrial (“Bridge”), a privately owned, vertically integrated real estate operating company and investment manager, today announced it has signed a 32,478-square-foot, long-term lease with Barberi International at Bridge Point Doral—the company’s newest state-of-the-art, master-planned logistics park in Doral, Fl. Currently under construction, the transformative development will span more than 2.6 million square feet of energy-efficient Class-A industrial space at full buildout, and include an on-site Whole Foods-anchored retail center being developed by SJC Ventures. This marks the second prelease at the project, which is already reshaping one of South Florida’s most dynamic logistics hubs.
Barberi joins a Fortune 50 food distributor that preleased the entirety of Building 6 (131,411 square feet), with move-in expected later this quarter, further solidifying Bridge Point Doral’s position as a magnet for high-quality industrial occupiers.
“Bridge Point Doral isn’t just a logistics hub—it’s redefining what modern industrial development can be in South Florida,” said Kevin Carroll, Partner, Southeast Region, Bridge Industrial. “In working together with the City of Doral, we’re transforming a long-overlooked site into a vibrant, sustainable economic engine. From world-class tenants and job creation to public infrastructure upgrades and a Whole Foods-anchored shopping center, Bridge Point Doral is setting a new standard for how industrial parks can serve both business and community.”
Barberi International, a Miami-based importer and distributor of Latin American snack products, will consolidate its two existing South Florida operations into Building 1 at Bridge Point Doral, a Class-A facility scheduled for delivery this September.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Barberi International to Bridge Point Doral,” said John Mejia, Leasing Director, Southeast Region, Bridge Industrial. “Their decision to consolidate operations here speaks to the strength of the location and the quality product we’re delivering. With Phase I nearing completion, demand remains strong from users looking for modern, efficient space in the heart of South Florida. This lease affirms Bridge Point Doral’s position as a premier destination for next-generation logistics operations.”
Cushman & Wakefield represented both sides of the transaction. The exclusive leasing team for the project—Wayne Ramoski, Skylar Stein, Andrew Fernandez, and Ivanna Leitner Perez—represented the landlord, Bridge Industrial, while Nicolas Palazzo represented the tenant, Barberi International.
“Barberi was an ideal fit for our flexible leasing model at Bridge Point Doral,” said Wayne Ramoski, Vice Chair at Cushman & Wakefield. “To better serve tenant demand, this master planned development comprises move-in-ready suites starting at 20,000 square feet, complete with spec office buildouts. Scalable offerings—combined with responsive ownership—enabled us to meet Barberi’s timeline and consolidate their operations into a more efficient, centralized location. With room to grow, they’re well-positioned for long-term success within the park.”
Bridge Point Doral spans 175 acres in the heart of Doral’s Central Business District, strategically located at 3600 NW 107th Ave. Phase I—comprising Buildings 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 and totaling 1.7 million square feet—is set to deliver its first few buildings later this quarter and the remaining buildings before year-end. Phase II, which includes Buildings 4 and 7, is now under construction and will deliver a total of 900,000 square feet through 2026.
The buildings at Bridge Point Doral feature 36- to 40-foot clear ceiling heights, 60-foot speed bays, on-site trailer parking, and both rear-load and cross-dock configurations. Scalable leasing options range from 20,000 square feet to 640,000 square feet. Tenants benefit from the property’s prime distribution location, which offers immediate access to the Florida Turnpike, and all major thoroughfares, including State Road 836 (Dolphin Expressway), connecting to major population centers and South Florida’s busiest air and seaports. The park also offers last-mile access to Miami International Airport’s cargo entrance, PortMiami, and Miami’s Central Business District.
In July of last year, Bridge Industrial sold an adjacent 10-acre parcel to SJC Ventures, which is now developing Doral Marketplace—a Whole Foods-anchored retail center within the larger Bridge Point Doral master plan. Tenants will enjoy walkable access to on-site amenities and a thoughtfully landscaped business park featuring two lakes. Planned retail offerings include Shake Shack, First Watch, GoodVets, The Spot Barbershop, Encore Nails, VIO MedSpa, Apizza Brooklyn Resto + Vino, and more. The first openings at Doral Marketplace are slated for later this year.
