Newberry continues to strengthen its position as a leader in agricultural innovation with the announcement that Harvest Singularity Holding Co. will invest 66 million dollars to develop a large-scale industrial hydroponic greenhouse at the City’s F-300 AgFoodTech Innovation Park. This marks the first private-sector company to locate in the park and represents a major milestone in Newberry’s long-term economic development and commercial real estate growth strategy.

The 325,000 square foot, fully climate-controlled greenhouse will utilize advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, robotics, sensors, and automation to produce more than three tons of leafy greens per day. The scale of the facility highlights growing demand for specialized industrial and ag-tech real estate, particularly purpose-built facilities designed to support advanced manufacturing and food production.

The project is projected to create more than 50 full-time jobs with an average annual wage of approximately 91,000 dollars. Beyond job creation, the development expands Newberry’s tax base and reinforces the City’s appeal to institutional investors and developers seeking long-term, infrastructure-supported commercial projects in growth markets.

Harvest Singularity selected Newberry for its business-friendly environment, available land, and proximity to the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, creating opportunities for collaboration and innovation. From a commercial real estate perspective, the project underscores the increasing intersection of industrial real estate, technology, and agriculture in North Central Florida.

The investment reinforces Newberry’s vision for the F-300 AgFoodTech Innovation Park as a catalyst for future commercial development, attracting private capital, diversifying land uses, and positioning the region for sustained economic and real estate growth.
