The Gateway Hub includes refrigerated storage space for agricultural products, such as produce and flowers, and a 1,000-square-foot cooler system. It will sort up to 6,000 packages per hour or 40,000 packages a day. The facility, with about 145,000 square feet of warehouse and office space, occupies 23 acres of land at the Miami International Airport.
