Our portfolio boasts some of the region’s best-placed commercial-industrial properties, ideal for businesses looking to expand their operations. Within the broader category of commercial properties, certain sites are zoned for general commercial enterprises. This can be anything from restaurants, and retail stores to even entertainment venues. Industrial real estate is a unique subset of commercial real estate. They’re designed to meet the specialized needs of manufacturing and industrial operations.
Commercial-industrial real estate is designated by local zoning authorities for specific business activities. This includes light or heavy manufacturing, warehousing, and industrial and research parks. This zoning is part of local governments’ strategic planning efforts to manage and stimulate future business and commercial growth within their communities.
When your expanding business requires a new industrial facility, numerous factors must be considered to ensure the optimal decision:
Understanding the nuances of commercial-industrial property zoning and the various development options available is crucial for making informed decisions. You need a vertically integrated team to take full advantage of the commercial-industrial real estate market.
In business development planning, it’s important to have someone on your team who understands how industrial real estate development projects work. A ground-up construction process on a parcel of empty acreage is a completely different undertaking than a retrofit of an existing warehouse or distribution center.
There are different requirements for dealing with industrial commercial projects as opposed to more general commercial undertakings. These can range from specialized floor plan requirements to the often more stringent regulatory requirements associated with industrial operations.
The design/plan process of this type of CRE construction project requires your general contractor is proficient at design/planning for specialized equipment or HVAC systems with special features for businesses that need things like warehousing with cold storage or humidity control. This is why it’s integral to have the right commercial property brokers, developers and engineers working with you.

Since our founding in 1935 as a farm brokerage, Schueler Group has collected some of the region’s most valuable parcels of land for industrial use along major interstates, including I-71, I-75, I-275, I-70 and I-675. With our extensive background in land development, we can help you put together the best commercial real estate parcels along the Cincinnati-Dayton and Northern Kentucky corridor.
The great characteristics of developable land zoned for industrial use in our area is that the land development process, including access, regrading and connecting utilities, is simple, making it much less expensive than land development in other areas. And industrial construction projects are huge undertakings, so devoting as much of the budget to the construction process itself is important.
