IOS – Industrial Outdoor Storage

Leave a comment
9.4 Acres Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) property with a CUP for truck trailer sales, leasing, and repairs. Located in the City of Fontana in the Inland Empire, Southern California.

The industrial outdoor storage (IOS) sector has become one of the most sought-after niches within industrial real estate in the past five years, with increasingly more institutional investors allocating funds to invest in the niche.

IOS properties are industrial properties that often have a large outdoor component, which are used for storage, heavy industrial uses, or truck and vehicle parking. Some facilities have little or no building improvements, while others have equipment service or warehousing facilities, and a small business or administrative office component.

Typical IOS users range from logistics companies like XPO, FedEx, UPS, and Amazon, to local landscaping and building supply companies, as well as utility and school bus companies.

Los Angeles has one of the largest and busiest ports in the United States.  Development of intermodal facilities, where shipping containers are transferred between rail and trucks, and adjacent logistics parks is a trend that is being seen across the country. Intermodal container shipments increased 37% in the last 5 years.  The vast majority of goods manufactured in Asia arrive in ports on the west coast.   This trend is changing the face of the bulk distribution sector.  For more information on the Port of Los Angeles.
