Property Detail

Description

Rare opportunity to acquire a rail-served industrial investment property in Chico, CA, offered at $1,800,000. This unique asset combines hard-to-replicate rail infrastructure, established industrial improvements, and a long operational history, positioning it as a compelling acquisition for investors seeking specialized logistics or industrial exposure. The property is improved with a steel industrial facility constructed in the late 1970s, with documented expansions and structural upgrades. The site has historically supported railcar service, cleaning, and repair operations, including prior multi-million-dollar contract work with Union Pacific, demonstrating its capability to support revenue-generating industrial use. A defining feature of the asset is its integrated rail infrastructure, including multiple tracks (702–705) with documented private trackage ownership via a recorded Southern Pacific bill of sale, along with a Union Pacific Industry Track Agreement governing operations and connectivity. The combination of industry-owned and railroad-controlled track segments creates a strategic advantage for tenants or operators requiring direct rail access. Rail-served industrial properties of this scale and configuration are extremely limited in supply, offering potential for: • Owner-user occupancy with operational upside • Lease-up to specialized rail or logistics tenants • Long-term hold with value appreciation tied to infrastructure scarcity The property benefits from established parcel records, historical permits, rail agreements, and operational documentation, providing a strong foundation for underwriting and due diligence. This offering represents a strategic infrastructure-backed investment with significant barriers to entry and long-term upside tied to rail-served industrial demand.
