If your business runs trucks, equipment or materials, you already know the problem. Buildings are easy to find. Land is not. Most industrial listings give you a unit and a handful of parking stalls, and very few give you acreage you control.

105 Albert Street S in Sunderland does. It pairs a freestanding building with 3.28 acres of land. Below I explain why that combination is scarce, who it suits, what I review before a client buys land-heavy industrial, and the full details of the property.

Why Freestanding Buildings on Land Are Hard to Find

Three forces keep this product type in short supply.

1. Land is being built out. Sites that once held yards and low-coverage buildings are being redeveloped into higher-density warehouses. Owners earn more by building on land than by leaving it open.
2. Outside storage is restricted. Many zoning by-laws limit open storage or require screening and setbacks that cut into usable area. Sites where storage works carry a premium.
3. Owner-users compete with investors. When a small building with land comes to market, contractors, fleet operators and investors chase the same asset.

In my experience, businesses willing to look beyond the core 400-series corridors find far better value per acre. North Durham is one of the places where that value still exists.

Who This Property Suits

• Contractors and trades. Landscape contractors and builders supply dealers are permitted uses, with room for materials, equipment and vehicles.
• Equipment sales and rental. Heavy equipment sales or rental is permitted, and the land supports display and storage.
• Fleet and transport operators. A truck transport terminal is a permitted use, with space to park and turn.
• Owner-users ready to stop renting. Control your site, build equity and stop handing a landlord your yard costs.

What to Check Before You Buy Land-Heavy Industrial

These are the seven items I review with every client before they commit.

1. Zoning fit. Confirm your exact use against the M1-3 permitted uses and any site-specific provisions with the Township of Brock.
2. Outside storage rules. Verify setbacks, screening and surface requirements for open storage.
3. Yard surface and drainage. Check how the gravel areas will handle your heaviest loads and how stormwater moves across the site.
4. Confirm water, sanitary and any well or septic arrangements.
5. Power and heating. The building has 600V/200A power and propane heat. Measure them against your equipment list.
6. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is standard for any industrial purchase.
7. Survey and easements. The plan of survey shows easements over part of the lands. Have your lawyer review them early.
