Construction begins at Double Branch development in Pasco County

Work on the first phase of Double Branch, a 965-acre mixed-use project in Pasco County, is underway. Located at Interstate 75 and State Road 52, the site will eventually include up to 4.5 million square feet of industrial space.

Phase I features three industrial buildings totaling 482,550 square feet, with additional plans for a 1.6 million-square-foot distribution hub and a 400,000-square-foot cross-dock facility. Building deliveries are expected in mid-to-late 2025. A newly completed intersection at State Road 52 provides direct access to I-75.

The development, led by Columnar, will also include 1 million square feet of office space, 500,000 square feet of retail, 3,500 residential units, and 200 acres of parks and trails.

Tenants are expected to include building supply distributors and life sciences manufacturers, aligning with Pasco County’s industry recruitment efforts.

The project’s first phase is backed by financing secured by Colliers’ West | Central Florida team.
