  • What is a certified site?

    A certified site is an industrial property that has completed a comprehensive pre-development evaluation, confirming it’s ready for development. Through the certification process, potential buyers and developers gain access to verified information about the site’s availability, pricing, utility infrastructure, transportation access, environmental status, and estimated development costs. This upfront due diligence reduces project risks and accelerates timelines by eliminating many of the uncertainties typically associated with site selection. Sites undergo periodic recertification to maintain current, accurate data.
