Hines and Key Group to build new innovation hub in Florida
The Space Coast Innovation Park project was designed alongside the Titusville Cocoa Beach Airport Authority.
US-based real estate company Hines, in collaboration with Key Group, has announced its plans to build a new industrial aerospace and defense hub on the Space Coast, Florida, US.
Named Space Coast Innovation Park, the three million-square-foot project will be built in three phases.
Hines managing director Ryan Wood said: “As one of the first groups to deliver a modern industrial park to prospective aerospace and defense tenants seeking to enter or expand their operations in North Brevard County, we look forward to partnering with Key Group to meet the critical logistics needs of Space Coast businesses.”
Phase one of the innovation park will consist of three rear-load industrial buildings totaling more than 639,000ft² and spread across 50 acres. Construction of this first phase is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of next year.
Phase two will consist of two industrial buildings totaling approximately 466,000ft² over 50 acres. Phase three meanwhile, will comprise a 350-acre mixed-use development.
Key Group CEO Kathleen Yonce said: “By partnering with Hines on the Space Coast Innovation Park project, which we designed with the Titusville Cocoa Beach Airport Authority, we’re leveraging their world-class mixed-use development and investment expertise to execute the vision, and giving assurance to the community and our prospective tenants that we will deliver.”
