Ferndale Industrial Property for Sale

Industrial Property and Building Information

Ferndale’s proximity to the major transportation routes of Interstate 5 and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad makes Ferndale a convenient location for industrial uses. Such uses provide a basis for local employment and contribute to the local tax base. The Land Use Element identifies two land use designations to accommodate industrial land uses, the Light Industrial and Manufacturing classifications. These categories permit land to be used for manufacturing, processing, warehousing, storage, and related uses. Future heavy industrial uses are intended to be accommodated on lands located adjacent to the BNSF Railroad. There are 235 acres of vacant buildable industrial land in the city limits and 364 acres of vacant buildable industrial land in the UGA.

There are any number of factors that an industrial developer needs to consider when selecting a location for a new plant. Many of these factors are beyond the control of the city, however, Ferndale is dedicated to focus on ensuring that it maintains an adequate land supply sufficiently served with utilities. Ferndale is also committed to attempt to remove any unnecessary obstacles to development that could cause an industrial developer to locate elsewhere.
