EXPLORE AVAILABLE INDUSTRIAL & WAREHOUSE PROPERTIES
Industrial & Warehouse Properties for Sale or Lease
Industrial real estate serves a wide range of business operations, including manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, logistics, assembly, and specialized commercial uses. Selecting the right property requires more than evaluating square footage or location.
BARBERMURPHY works with buyers, sellers, tenants, landlords, and investors to evaluate Industrial & Warehouse Properties based on building specifications, transportation access, operational requirements, and long-term business goals.
Warehouse Space for Lease
Leasing warehouse space can provide flexibility for companies expanding distribution operations, storing inventory, or establishing a new location. Available warehouse properties may include bulk storage facilities, distribution buildings, and smaller warehouse spaces suited to local businesses.
Important considerations include clear ceiling height, loading docks, drive-in doors, column spacing, truck access, parking, and available utilities.
Industrial Buildings for Sale
Purchasing an industrial building may provide long-term occupancy control, opportunities for property improvements, and potential equity accumulation.
Industrial buyers should evaluate building condition, zoning, power availability, loading configurations, environmental considerations, and the property’s ability to accommodate future operational needs.
Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing properties often require specialized building features, including electrical capacity, production areas, equipment access, ventilation, and appropriate loading facilities.
BARBERMURPHY helps manufacturers evaluate available industrial buildings based on operational requirements, transportation access, and the suitability of existing infrastructure.
Distribution and Logistics Facilities
Distribution centers and logistics facilities support inventory management, order fulfillment, and regional transportation operations.
Businesses evaluating distribution space should consider interstate access, trailer parking, loading capacity, building configuration, and proximity to customers and suppliers.
Flex and Office/Warehouse Properties
Flex properties combine warehouse or light industrial space with office, showroom, or service areas. These buildings may be suitable for contractors, service businesses, equipment suppliers, and companies requiring both administrative and operational space.
The ideal office-to-warehouse ratio depends on each business’s daily operations and future growth plans.
Industrial Land and Build-to-Suit Opportunities
Industrial land may offer opportunities for new manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, and specialized industrial developments.
Companies considering new construction should evaluate zoning, utilities, site access, drainage, infrastructure, and development requirements before selecting a property.
5 Key Considerations When Choosing Industrial & Warehouse Properties
Finding the right industrial property involves evaluating building features and location factors that directly affect business operations.
1. Location and Transportation Access
Convenient access to major highways, suppliers, customers, and regional transportation networks is important for many industrial users.
Southern Illinois and the St. Louis Metro East offer connections to Interstate 64, Interstate 55, Interstate 70, and Interstate 255, supporting access throughout the Greater St. Louis region and beyond.
Businesses should also consider truck routes, travel distances, and access to nearby transportation infrastructure.
2. Building Size and Layout
Industrial buildings should provide sufficient space for current operations while allowing flexibility for future needs.
When comparing Industrial & Warehouse Properties, consider total building square footage, clear ceiling heights, column spacing, office areas, storage configurations, and opportunities for expansion.
3. Loading and Truck Access
Loading capabilities are critical for businesses receiving or shipping products. Depending on operational needs, a property may require dock-high loading, drive-in doors, trailer parking, or adequate truck maneuvering areas.
Evaluating these features early can help businesses avoid costly operational limitations.
4. Utilities and Building Infrastructure
Industrial users may have specific requirements for electrical capacity, water, sewer, natural gas, ventilation, and other building systems.
Manufacturing operations and specialized industrial uses should verify that the property’s existing infrastructure can support their equipment and processes.
5. Zoning and Future Growth
Before purchasing or leasing an industrial property, businesses should confirm that their intended use is permitted under applicable zoning regulations.
Expansion potential, neighboring land uses, parking requirements, and local development standards should also be considered when evaluating long-term suitability.

Buying vs. Leasing Industrial & Warehouse Properties
Benefits of Buying Industrial Property
Purchasing an industrial facility may provide long-term control over occupancy costs, greater flexibility for building improvements, and the potential to build equity.
Buyers should evaluate financing, property taxes, insurance, maintenance expenses, building condition, and anticipated capital improvements before making an investment.
Benefits of Leasing Industrial Space
Leasing may provide flexibility for companies experiencing growth, entering new markets, or adjusting their operational requirements.
Tenants should compare rental rates, lease terms, operating expenses, maintenance responsibilities, expansion options, and any improvements required to accommodate their operations.
Industrial Investment Opportunities
Industrial real estate can also appeal to investors seeking income-producing commercial properties. Investment opportunities may include single-tenant industrial buildings, multi-tenant warehouse facilities, and properties with long-term leases.
