When it comes to commercial renovations, Florida is booming. In fact, there’s a construction surge across our state right now, with growth impacting multiple sectors of our economy. Take a look at this impressive finding from The Birmingham Group:
“Florida’s construction landscape in 2025 stands as one of the most ambitious building periods in the state’s history, with over $89 billion in projected spending across residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. From transformative transportation upgrades to groundbreaking mixed-use developments, construction activity is reshaping communities from Miami to Jacksonville at an unprecedented scale. This surge reflects both Florida’s explosive population growth and long-term infrastructure investments. With more than 587,000 construction workers employed statewide and an 8.2% projected job growth through 2026 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), the sector has become a cornerstone of Florida’s economic expansion.”
So how can businesses capitalize on Florida’s commercial renovation trends without overspending or overpromising? We have some suggestions.
Prioritize Energy-Efficiency
Energy-efficient commercial renovations help Florida business owners lower long-term costs. They can also be a means of improving environmental stewardship, which is important for anyone who loves our natural surroundings. There is a wide range of commercial building upgrades that improve energy efficiency. The experts at Vitality.io recommend the following:
Improve Functionality and Accessibility
Florida remains in high demand for retirees, ranking as SmartAsset’s #1 Place to Retire in 2025. That means Florida commercial renovations focused on improving accessibility are going to give your business a competitive edge for customers and tenants with mobility impairments and disabilities.
These renovations include meeting the required local codes, as well as going above and beyond to maximize space and improve the functionality of each room and its features. For example, installing elevators and railings, removing unnecessary barriers, or adding additional parking and ramps could all make a big difference. Making a building or room more spacious often improves the experience of everyone who visits, regardless of their mobility needs.
