St. George Industrial District Remains on Growth Path

An ever-expanding industrial district located in St. George, UT has been on a major growth path since its inception. St. George has posted an annual 3 percent population growth increase for the last 10 years. With a vast network to Interstate 15, which can reach 80 percent of the surrounding population of the western U.S. within a day, it has become a distribution hub.

Fort Pierce Industrial Park is an industrial and logistics project aimed at meeting the growing needs of St. George with capabilities in manufacturing, distribution, data centers and logistics in the southern region of Utah. With more than 20 lots sold in the last year and a new phase available in first quarter 2022, Fort Pierce Industrial Park is looking to expand in the future to an additional 500 acres. Moreover, corporate tenants such as Fed Ex, UPS, Family Dollar and Sun Roc are utilizing this space as a major distribution center.

“This location has been so advantageous for businesses, as it brings the opportunities for co-tenancy and collaboration with other distributors particularly in transportation,” said Troy Scheel, agent at Mountain West Commercial Real Estate (MWCRE).

Troy and Doug Scheel of the MWCRE St. George office represent client Steve Jennings, president of JMI Property Services Inc. who owns Fort Pierce.

“The partnership we’ve had with Mountain West Commercial has truly helped us attain our goals relating to the Fort Pierce Industrial Park. Their vision, ambition and focus on us as a client has helped shape the park, the future of St. George and our economic development opportunities in Southern Utah,” said Jennings.
