Retail, logistics, flex industrial — your highest and best use.
Highway-adjacent and warehouse-proximate parcels can sell for $50,000-$400,000 per acre. Tenants like Amazon, FedEx, and regional logistics operators are paying record prices for last-mile sites.
Commercial value rises and falls on visibility, intersection geometry, and tenant pipelines — a hard 200-yard difference in parcel position can swing pricing 10×. Even with real state DOT traffic counts, the final number requires a broker walk. ≥75 score = worth getting two commercial broker BOVs; <60 = focus on rural uses.
