Observing the most recent report of Seminole County Companies (PDF), the City of Longwood can truly be called a City of Entrepreneurs. With a population of 16,036 it has 1,736 registered businesses; second only to Altamonte Springs (population 42,150) in Seminole County. Small, 1-9 employees, and medium, 10-99 employees, companies are a significant part of Longwood's economic engine. The flexibility of space that the facilities within Longwood's industrial parks offer and numerous Class B/C office buildings assist the entrepreneur in starting and growing a successful business.

In the most recent Central Florida Office Market Report it was noted that as the Class A vacancy rates continue to drop, demand for space in Class B is expected to increase. Class B inventory led the way in positive absorption with 270,158 square feet(sf).The limitation of space below the 15,000 square foot is also driving investors toward Class B/C office space. The ability to meet both of these demands is a strength of Longwood. For more information on available properties see Available Properties.
