Overview

Measuring what logistics investment returns to the community

BusinessFlare® works with Prologis — the world's largest logistics real estate company — to quantify the local economic and fiscal impact of its industrial and distribution developments in Florida. As demand for modern logistics space reshapes the state's employment centers, these independent assessments translate each investment into the terms communities and decision-makers care about: jobs, economic output, wages, and public revenue.

Across Doral, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando, BusinessFlare® grounds each assessment in established input-output methodology and public data — giving Prologis, local governments, and communities a rigorous, defensible read on what its investments deliver.

Independent economic and fiscal impact analysis for Prologis across three Florida markets.

Doral and the surrounding Miami-Dade industrial market form one of the busiest logistics hubs in the Southeast, anchored by proximity to Miami International Airport and PortMiami. BusinessFlare® supports Prologis here with independent economic and fiscal impact analysis for its developments in the market.

What the analysis covers
  • Economic impact of logistics investment in Miami-Dade's core industrial market
  • Construction-phase and ongoing jobs, output, and wages
  • New property-tax (ad valorem) revenue to local government
  • Airport- and port-adjacent distribution serving South Florida

Central Broward's location between Miami and Palm Beach makes it a strategic distribution market. BusinessFlare® provides Prologis with economic and fiscal analysis of its logistics investments in the Fort Lauderdale area, measuring the benefits to the local and county economy.

What the analysis covers
  • Economic impact of logistics development in Central Broward
  • Direct, indirect, and induced employment and output
  • Contribution to the local and county tax base
  • Support for a resilient regional goods-movement network

Greater Orlando's population and tourism growth have made Central Florida a priority distribution market. BusinessFlare® supports Prologis with independent economic and fiscal impact analysis for its investments in the region.

What the analysis covers
  • Economic impact of logistics development in the Orlando market
  • Jobs and output generated during construction and operations
  • New recurring public revenue for local jurisdictions
  • Distribution capacity serving Central Florida's growth

Each assessment separates one-time construction impacts from recurring annual operations and traces direct spending through indirect and induced ripple effects using established input-output methodology, grounded in federal economic data. Fiscal impacts are built from taxable value and local millage.

The analysis quantifies
  • Construction-phase jobs, earnings, and total economic output
  • Permanent jobs and recurring annual output once operating
  • New property-tax revenue to local taxing authorities
  • Direct, indirect, and induced effects across the local economy

Distribution facilities rarely get credit for their economic role. Independent, data-driven impact analysis gives Prologis, local governments, and communities a shared, objective basis for understanding what logistics investment delivers — in jobs, in output, and in public revenue.

The value
  • Objective, third-party analysis that withstands public scrutiny
  • A common language for developers, officials, and residents
  • Clear accounting of jobs and tax-base benefits
  • Context for the role of logistics in a modern regional economy
