Underwriting Commentary

A developer buyer underwrites land cost against projected vertical construction ROI. At this price range, a 200,000 SF flex campus pencils at a 7.5–8.5% yield-on-cost, well above prevailing cap rates. The rail adjacency and I-2 zoning justify a premium over comparable non-rail sites.

I-2 Land Scarcity

I-2 zoned land in Oldham County is functionally irreplaceable. Rezoning timelines of 18–36 months and political resistance to new industrial zoning mean that existing I-2 parcels command a structural scarcity premium. This 22.8-acre site represents one of the last large-format I-2 development opportunities in the Louisville eastern corridor.

πŸ“ˆ

Industrial Absorption Trend

The Louisville MSA absorbed over 4.2 million SF of industrial space in 2024, driven by e-commerce, automotive supply chain, and regional distribution. Demand continues to outpace supply, with new deliveries pre-leased at record rates. Spec development in the 50,000–200,000 SF range is achieving NNN rents of $8.50–$12.00 PSF.

🏠

Demographic Demand Driver

Oldham County's median household income of $95,000+ creates direct demand for RV/boat storage, contractor services, and last-mile delivery. The county's population has grown 18% since 2010, with continued residential development driving industrial service demand. This site sits at the intersection of residential growth and industrial infrastructure.

πŸš‚

Rail Infrastructure Premium

CSX-adjacent industrial sites in the Louisville MSA trade at a documented 15–25% premium over comparable non-rail sites. As supply chain resilience and nearshoring continue to drive industrial demand, rail-served sites are increasingly sought by manufacturers, distributors, and logistics operators seeking multimodal capability.
