The investment stands to significantly expand the region’s industrial development pipeline.
VanTrust Real Estate has acquired 71.19 acres within the Sunbridge Business Park, a pivotal move that will introduce approximately 1,000,000 square feet of Class-A speculative industrial space to Orlando’s growing market.
Located at 15121 Wewahootee Road, the development stands to significantly expand the region’s industrial development pipeline and is expected to enhance Orlando’s competitiveness to attract new businesses and support the area’s emergence as a major hub for industrial logistics and modern facilities.
“Sunbridge offers the scale, infrastructure and long-term vision we look for when investing in growth markets,” said Marc Munago, executive vice president at VanTrust Real Estate.
“This acquisition positions us to develop high-quality industrial real estate in one of Central Florida’s top growth corridors, supporting the market’s rise as a center for industrial logistics.”

Valued at nearly $130 million across land acquisition, infrastructure improvements, and vertical construction, the project will significantly strengthen the Orlando region’s sites and buildings inventory. While the development is not tied to an identified end user and therefore does not include job creation or wage metrics, the speculative facilities will enhance the region’s competitiveness for future business recruitment by supporting companies seeking speed‑to‑market industrial solutions.
“VanTrust’s continued investment in the Orlando region expands our capacity to attract new employers and meet the growing demand for modern industrial facilities,” said Tracy Garcia, Orlando Economic Partnership Senior Director of Economic Development, who assisted the company.
“This project directly supports our long‑term strategy to prepare high‑quality sites for future business growth.”

The OEP assisted VanTrust with introductions to local partners, permitting navigation, and communications outreach throughout the process. The Partnership extends its gratitude to the City of Orlando, Orange County, Duke Energy, Land Reserve, and Tavistock Development Company for their collaboration in facilitating this investment.
Construction on the first phase of the industrial campus is expected to begin in late 2025, delivering a new inventory of flexible, high‑quality space for prospective businesses considering the Orlando region.
