INDUSTRIAL OUTDOOR STORAGE
(IOS) IN CANADA
Industrial outdoor storage (IOS) refers to land used for storing equipment, vehicles, containers, construction materials, and other industrial assets in an open, secured environment. These sites are essential for industries like logistics, construction, transportation, and energy—businesses that rely on accessible and scalable space outside the walls of a traditional warehouse. IOS properties can vary widely in size and configuration, from compact fenced yards to multi-acre gravel or paved lots. We’ve seen firsthand how important it is for businesses to have the right kind of yard space, especially when indoor storage simply isn’t practical. As supply chains continue to evolve, the strategic value of IOS has never been higher.
Zoning, Access, and Site Readiness – Navigating the Details
IOS sites are shaped by zoning restrictions, infrastructure access, and site-specific regulations. Many municipalities have strict requirements regarding fencing, surfacing, environmental impact, and approved uses. Our team knows how to navigate these complexities, identifying land-use allowances, evaluating site servicing (like drainage, lighting, or utilities), and pinpointing locations with the right kind of access for trucks and heavy equipment. We help clients assess feasibility up front to reduce risk and avoid delays. Throughout every step of the process, we remain fully transparent and communicative, keeping you informed and confident in every decision you make.
