Leave a comment

There are 3 major rail yards near Downtown Los Angeles, which is about 20 miles north of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Truck drivers have the task of drayage to these destinations. Some containers make their initial trip off the cargo ship to these rail yards by way of locomotive train along The Alameda Corridor rail tracks.

Train running through the Alameda Corridor, which connects the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to the rail yards in Central LA.

See below aerial images of the rail yards showing train tracks and shipping containers.

The 124-acre Union Pacific rail yard is in DTLA near the 5 freeway.
The 250+ acre BNSF Hobart rail yard is near Washington Blvd and the 710 Freeway.
The 35-acre BNSF Citcom Yard is near the 5 Freeway and Washington Blvd.

The local CBS news channel made a story of the yards. https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/video/commerce-train-yards-look-at-this

Distressed Real Estate By Commercial Property Type

Leave a comment

In below graphic, note how strong the industrial category is compared to the other commercial real estate property types. Office and retail are the two most vulnerable.

Moving forward with the slow decline in rents and values, industrial real estate is well positioned to weather economic challenges.

Potential distressed properties have delinquent payments, low occupancy and thus high vacancy, maturing debt / loans, or other looming troubles. These factors could cause the properties to default on their loan obligations and trigger a foreclosure sale.
