EXPLORE AVAILABLE COMMERCIAL LAND & DEVELOPMENT SITES
Commercial Land & Development Sites for Sale
Commercial land offers opportunities for businesses and developers to create properties designed around specific operational, investment, and market needs. Available sites may range from smaller commercial parcels to larger tracts suitable for industrial, retail, residential, or mixed-use development.
When evaluating Commercial Land & Development Sites, buyers should consider zoning, utilities, access, surrounding development, infrastructure, and the property’s suitability for its intended use.
BARBERMURPHY works with buyers, sellers, developers, and investors seeking land for a variety of commercial purposes.
Retail Land & Pad Sites
Retail development sites may accommodate restaurants, convenience stores, financial institutions, freestanding retail buildings, shopping centers, and other commercial uses.
When evaluating retail land, important considerations include traffic patterns, visibility, road frontage, access points, surrounding businesses, and nearby residential and employment centers.
Retail pad sites may be particularly attractive to businesses seeking locations within established commercial corridors or near existing shopping destinations.
Industrial Land for Sale
Industrial land provides opportunities for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, contractor yards, and other industrial operations.
Companies and developers considering industrial sites should evaluate interstate access, truck routes, available utilities, zoning, topography, and the infrastructure needed to support future operations.
Industrial development opportunities may include vacant land within established industrial areas as well as larger sites suitable for new facilities.
Office & Medical Development Sites
Office and medical development sites may accommodate professional offices, healthcare facilities, outpatient clinics, and other commercial buildings.
Site selection considerations can include accessibility, parking capacity, visibility, nearby services, surrounding land uses, and proximity to the populations or businesses the development will serve.
Multifamily & Mixed-Use Development Land
Land intended for multifamily or mixed-use development may offer opportunities for apartments, residential communities, or projects combining residential and commercial space.
Developers should evaluate local zoning, permitted density, infrastructure availability, access, market demand, and applicable municipal development requirements.
Potential uses and development capacity should be verified with the appropriate local authorities before purchasing a site.
Build-to-Suit Development Opportunities
Build-to-suit development allows businesses to explore facilities designed around their specific space and operational requirements.
Depending on the project, a build-to-suit opportunity may involve industrial, retail, office, medical, or other commercial property types.
BARBERMURPHY can assist clients with identifying potential sites and connecting the property search with broader development and occupancy objectives.
5 Key Considerations When Purchasing Commercial Land
Buying commercial land involves evaluating factors that can significantly influence development feasibility, construction costs, and long-term property value.
1. Zoning & Permitted Land Uses
Zoning determines which types of development may be permitted on a property. Before purchasing land, buyers should confirm the current zoning designation and whether their intended project is allowed.
Rezoning, special-use permits, site-plan approvals, or other municipal processes may be necessary for certain developments. Buyers should verify requirements with the appropriate jurisdiction.
2. Utilities & Infrastructure
Utility availability is an important consideration when evaluating Commercial Land & Development Sites.
Depending on the project, developers may need access to water, sanitary sewer, electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, and adequate stormwater infrastructure.
The location, capacity, and potential extension costs of these services should be investigated during the due diligence process.
3. Location & Transportation Access
Location plays a major role in determining whether a commercial development site will support its intended use.
Retail developers may prioritize visibility and customer access, while industrial users may focus on truck routes and proximity to major highways.
Southern Illinois and the Greater St. Louis region offer access to transportation corridors including Interstates 55, 64, 70, and 255.
4. Site Conditions & Development Costs
Topography, drainage, soil conditions, environmental considerations, and existing improvements can affect the feasibility and cost of development.
Buyers should consider appropriate surveys, environmental assessments, geotechnical evaluations, and other due diligence investigations before committing to a project.
5. Future Growth & Surrounding Development
Surrounding land uses, infrastructure improvements, community development plans, and nearby business activity may influence a site’s long-term potential.
Evaluating both current conditions and anticipated growth can help developers and investors make more informed acquisition decisions.
