Nearly Natural to close Hialeah warehouse, relocating operations to Lakeland
The company plans to shutter the Hialeah site around Oct. 12 and relocate, following a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act filing that covers 60 layoffs.
Nearly Natural, an artificial flower and tree maker, plans to close its Hialeah warehouse and relocate operations to Lakeland, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice filed with the Florida Department of Commerce.
The filing says the company will terminate employment for 60 workers in South Florida and expects to shut down the Hialeah operations around Oct. 12. The company’s headquarters and distribution facility are listed at 3870 W. 108th St. in Hialeah.
The Hialeah warehouse is a 241,000-square-foot industrial building at Prologis Countyline 100, an industrial park near Florida’s Turnpike, with office space, 32-foot clear heights, and 66 dock doors noted in marketing materials. JLL is marketing the building as fully available starting June 2027, and a JLL spokesperson declined to comment.
The Bisnow piece also points to pressure in the regional industrial market, noting Miami-Dade’s vacancy rate was 7.1% at the end of the second quarter, the highest in at least a decade, with industrial construction totaling 2.9 million square feet at the end of June. It adds that industrial space under construction fell 30% in three months after 1.2 million square feet of projects were delivered, citing CBRE.
