A warehouse and storage yard takes shape on New Tampa Highway

3070 New Tampa Hwy, Lakeland Applicant: Lakeland Storage 1 LLC

Site work and building permits are moving on a warehouse and storage project off New Tampa Highway in west Lakeland.

An existing commercial building at 3070 New Tampa Highway is being renovated and expanded into a warehouse and storage operation. City records show an interior buildout permit (valued at $200,000), a new roof, and a new electrical service for a water pump have all been issued, and a $1 million site-work permit was issued in May 2026 for construction tied to an approved warehouse/storage site plan (SIT24-035).

The property is owned by entities named Lakeland Storage & Logistics LLC and Lakeland Storage 1 LLC. A separate 2026 site plan for a warehouse and trailer storage yard at the neighboring 3030 New Tampa Highway address, filed by Zachary H. Thornton, was withdrawn.

What the finished operation will hold, and how the two adjacent addresses relate, is not fully spelled out in the records.

What happens next

With site work and building permits issued, construction and site improvements are underway; the withdrawn 3030 site plan would need a new filing to move forward.
