Our region’s commercial and industrial real estate costs are very competitive. The cost of constructing new facilities in Jacksonville is about 20 percent less than the U.S. average. Lease rates are below most major metro areas, averaging $18.68 per square foot for office and $4.86 per square foot for industrial space. And, commercial and industrial utility rates are very competitive with other rates throughout the Southeast.
