Suddath has locked down the final piece of land for a sprawling industrial complex north of Jacksonville International Airport, completing a 312-acre assemblage that is expected to support roughly 3 million square feet of Class A warehouse space. The deal closed March 18 and caps a land-buying campaign that began in August 2025, positioning Suddath to build large distribution and fulfillment centers for its NXTPoint Logistics unit. For neighbors and drivers along Pecan Park Road, the site represents one of the biggest single industrial investments in the airport corridor in years.
The Closing and the Numbers
Phase 3 closed March 18, when Suddath paid $7.3 million to Tallahassee-based Subema LLC for about 110 acres, including roughly 69.52 upland acres. That purchase brings the company’s cumulative spend on the Airport Commerce Center to more than $20 million since August 2025. Suddath says the site will start with facilities for its NXTPoint Logistics division, including space on Phase 2 intended as a 566,000-square-foot headquarters and a proposed 250,000-square-foot building. The full site comprises 312 acres, of which about 200.7 acres are upland and developable, and it sits west of I-95 just north of Jacksonville International Airport, according to Jax Daily Record.
NXTPoint to Anchor the Park
NXTPoint Logistics, Suddath’s logistics subsidiary, will anchor the development and was part of the company’s original pitch for the site. In an August 2025 release, NXTPoint described a planned distribution center and a Logistics Innovation Center as the project’s initial uses, including a roughly 550,000-square-foot facility tied to Phase 1. The company framed the site as strategic for e-commerce, FF&E and final-mile operations, according to a release from NXTPoint Logistics.
Permits, Footprints and the Buildout Plan
Engineering and utility filings outline a master plan that would fit roughly 2.98 million square feet across four buildings, including a Phase 3 building shown at about 1,076,320 square feet. The city issued horizontal development permits in December to begin clearing, mass grading and stormwater work, and JEA issued a service-availability determination for the Phase 3 warehouse in January. The master plan maps the phases to Pecan Park Road addresses and notes tenant interest in the larger Phase 3 building, as reported by Jax Daily Record.
What This Means for Jacksonville
Suddath, founded in Jacksonville in 1919, has said it has grown into a global logistics and relocation company with about $900 million in annual revenue and roughly 2,000 employees worldwide. That scale, combined with control of a large airport-adjacent site, gives the company a direct path to build and operate substantial logistics space without relying on outside developers. The project adds industrial capacity to a busy airport corridor and could accelerate new jobs and local contracting opportunities, per a company release reported by EIN Presswire.
