Apex Logistics is building a 202,000-square-foot warehouse on Highway 33 in North Lakeland

Where it is. In north Lakeland.

A roughly 202,471-square-foot warehouse called Apex Logistics is under construction at 8161 N Highway 33 in North Lakeland.

County permit records describe a new shell warehouse of about 202,471 square feet at 8161 N Highway 33, north of Lakeland, built under the name Apex Logistics. The building is non-combustible construction, anticipated for storage use, and equipped with an automatic sprinkler system. The main shell permit is in the inspections stage, and supporting permits cover fire sprinklers, an underground fireline, a truck ramp, and a dumpster enclosure.

Separate permits propose finishing out spec office suites inside the shell β€” including a 2,500-square-foot "South Corner Office" (Suite 300) and a matching "Center Office" (Suite 200), each with added restrooms, a breakroom, a janitor closet, an IT room and offices. Those office build-out permits are currently marked closed-denied in county records.

Several of the ancillary permits show as expired, and a job-site trailer application was denied. The overall project centers on the large storage building taking shape on the site.

What happens next

The shell warehouse permit is in inspections. The spec office suite build-outs were submitted but are currently denied, so updated plans would need to be approved before those interior offices move forward.
