Property selection

Start with what the operation needs from the building.

Square footage is only one requirement. Building characteristics, site configuration, transportation, infrastructure, and the surrounding freight network can all shape whether a property deserves deeper evaluation.

Understanding the building

Building square footage and available square footage are not the same thing.

A property may contain an existing building without every square foot being available for a new user. Keep the physical size of the building separate from the space represented as available.

Building square footage

Total building area

The documented size of the building or buildings on the property.

is not the same as

Available square footage

Space represented as available

Only show available square footage when separately supported by property or commercial-status data.

Kansas City distribution property, fictional. The hatched bays show proportion only, not which part of the building is available.

Do not infer available space from total building size.

Building characteristics, when documented
  • Clear height
  • Dock doors
  • Drive-in doors
  • Building dimensions
  • Floor / load characteristics
  • Crane infrastructure
  • Cold storage
  • Office area
  • Rail doors / rail access
  • Power / utilities

Categories of information. Not every property contains these features.

Building + site

The building is only part of the property.

Truck circulation, yard space, parking, rail infrastructure, outdoor storage, property acreage, and site configuration may matter just as much as the space inside the building.

Simplified property diagram, not a site plan. Each element appears on a property only where it is documented.
  • Truck court / circulation

    Property data

    Truck court depth, circulation, and trailer positions, where documented.

  • Yard / outdoor area

    Property data

    Outdoor storage or yard area, where documented.

  • Rail infrastructure

    Property data

    Track, spur, siding, or rail-door information where supported. Infrastructure is not the same as active service.

  • Property acreage

    Property data

    The size of the whole property, kept separate from building square footage.

  • Parking

    Property data

    Car and trailer parking, where documented.

  • Site access

    Property data

    Entrances and road access to the site, where documented.

A building and the land around it should be evaluated as separate but connected parts of the property.

Transportation

How freight reaches the property matters as much as the building itself.

Separate documented transportation relationships from freight infrastructure that is simply nearby.

  • Rail

    Proximity: Nearest rail · 0.6 mi (proximity only)

  • Port

    Documented: Only where documented
    Proximity: Port nearby · 12 mi (proximity only)

Nearby infrastructure does not automatically establish service or access.

Document the connection. Map the proximity. Keep the two distinct.

Example values for a fictional property. Rail can be documented as service or as infrastructure only; dotted means infrastructure without confirmed service.

Map the building alongside railroads, highways, ports, intermodal terminals, transload facilities, and other freight infrastructure that may shape the operation.

The closest freight asset is not necessarily the one serving the property.

Fictional property and schematic geography. Distances are straight-line; nearby infrastructure has no implied operational relationship with the property.

Property evaluation

Evaluate the building, the site, and how freight moves between them.

Property information and network context can narrow the search before deeper operational and commercial diligence begins.

Building

  • Total building square footage
  • Available square footage when documented
  • Clear height
  • Loading configuration
  • Building characteristics
  • Existing infrastructure

Site

  • Property acreage
  • Yard / outdoor areas
  • Truck circulation
  • Parking
  • Site configuration

Land use + utilities

  • Documented zoning
  • Marketed / potential use
  • Utilities reported present
  • Utility capacity where explicitly documented

Transportation

  • Rail service
  • Rail infrastructure
  • Highway relationship
  • Truck-access information
  • Nearby freight infrastructure

Freight network

  • Railroads
  • Ports
  • Intermodal terminals
  • Transload facilities
  • Major highways

Property information helps identify candidates. Final suitability depends on the requirements of the specific operation and appropriate operational, engineering, regulatory, utility, environmental, and commercial diligence.

Need land for a new development instead?

Explore industrial land and development sites when the operation requires a new build, larger parcel, or site-specific development opportunity.

Market a property

Put an industrial property in front of companies evaluating freight locations.

Represent the building, property characteristics, documented transportation relationships, and surrounding freight context so prospective users can evaluate it more effectively.

For owners, brokers, developers, economic development organizations, railroads, ports, industrial parks, and other property representatives.

Industrial real estate FAQ

Warehouses & Industrial Facilities

What types of built industrial properties can I search for?

Property categories may include warehouses, distribution buildings, manufacturing properties, terminals, logistics properties, and other industrial buildings represented in the Commtrex property network.

Is building square footage the same as available square footage?

No. Building square footage describes the physical size of the building. Available square footage is a separate commercial characteristic and should only be treated as available when that information is specifically supported.

Can I search for rail-served warehouses and industrial buildings?

Yes. Where rail service is documented, rail-served properties can be distinguished from properties that simply have rail infrastructure or are located near rail.

Does rail infrastructure mean a building has active rail service?

No. Track, a spur, siding, or other rail infrastructure does not by itself establish active rail service. Service should be represented separately when it is documented.

Does industrial zoning mean my operation is permitted at the property?

No. Industrial zoning does not establish approval for every industrial use. Applicable zoning, permitting, regulatory, and operating requirements should be confirmed for the specific operation.

Does a utility shown at the property mean enough capacity is available?

Not necessarily. Utility presence and utility capacity are different. Capacity should only be represented when supported by specific property data and should be confirmed during property diligence.

Is a property near a port, intermodal terminal, or transload facility considered to have access to it?

Not automatically. Geographic proximity and documented operational access are different. Commtrex keeps those relationships distinct where the underlying data supports the distinction.

Can I market a warehouse or industrial building on Commtrex?

Commtrex supports property marketing for owners, brokers, developers, economic development organizations, railroads, ports, industrial parks, and other organizations responsible for representing industrial property.
