MIAMI, Fla. — JLL Capital Markets announced today the sale of Lakeland Commerce Center Buildings 100-300 for $67.7 million. The transaction involves a three-building, Class A industrial portfolio totaling 557,100 square feet in Lakeland.

JLL represented the seller, Stonemont, in the deal, with MDH Partners acquiring the asset.

The Lakeland Commerce Center consists of three newly constructed, rear-load industrial buildings. These properties are situated on 28.5 acres at 3490 County Line Road in Polk County.

The center is located within a master-planned business park along the County Line Road corridor, positioned between Interstate 4 and Lakeland Linder International Airport. This placement makes it equidistant from Tampa and Orlando.
