Florence Market
Florence is the largest city in Boone County and a major logistics, retail, and distribution hub in Northern Kentucky. The city's proximity to CVG Airport (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International) — a major DHL and Amazon Air hub — makes it a natural home for distribution, fulfillment, and logistics companies. The Florence Mall and surrounding retail corridor along US-42/US-127 anchor the city's commercial economy.
Distribution and warehousing are major employers — DHL's Americas hub at CVG, Amazon fulfillment centers, and dozens of logistics companies operate in the Florence-Burlington corridor. Healthcare services, professional offices, and construction businesses serve the growing Northern Kentucky population. Fidelity Investments and other financial services firms have operations nearby.
Florence's commercial real estate market is driven by logistics and industrial demand, with strong retail along the US-42 corridor. The city's affordable costs relative to Cincinnati, combined with CVG Airport access and I-75/I-71 connectivity, attract businesses from across the region. Fast capital access is critical for logistics companies competing for distribution contracts.
