Industrial & Commercial Real Estate in San Bernardino, CA

San Bernardino has its own story, apart from the wider Riverside and San Bernardino market. It is the county seat, a rail town with deep roots, and home to San Bernardino International Airport, the former Norton Air Force Base, now surrounded by distribution buildings, yards and industrial land. I'm Javier A. Brown, a commercial real estate agent with MGR Real Estate in Ontario. I've worked the Inland Empire for more than 20 years, and I help businesses, truckers, contractors, investors and owners lease, buy and sell property in San Bernardino, in English or Spanish.

Why Businesses Look at San Bernardino

• Freeways: the I-10 and I-215 both run through the city, and the SR-210 crosses the north side. Trucks can head west toward Los Angeles and the ports, north through the Cajon Pass toward the High Desert, or east toward the desert routes.
• The airport area: the land around San Bernardino International Airport, reached by streets like Tippecanoe Avenue, Mill Street and Waterman Avenue, has become a busy industrial and logistics district.
• Rail: the city grew up around the railroad, and rail still matters to many users here.
• Variety and value: you'll find newer distribution buildings, older shops and small industrial units, and land that may work for yards, often at a lower cost than cities farther west.

Property I Help With in San Bernardino

• Warehouses and distribution buildings, from small units to large buildings near the airport.
• Truck yards, contractor yards and outdoor storage for trailers, equipment and materials.
• Industrial and commercial land for owner-users and developers.
• Retail, auto-related and NNN investments along the city's main commercial corridors.
• Apartments for investors.

Zoning and Truck Yards: Check First

San Bernardino has its own zoning rules, and the airport area has its own planning rules too. Truck parking and outdoor storage may need a special permit, or may not be allowed in some zones, even when a lot looks perfect. Before you sign a lease or a purchase contract, we confirm the zoning, any specific plan, and the permits your use needs with the City of San Bernardino. We also look at truck access, the surface (paved, gravel or dirt), fencing, lighting and drainage. For final legal, zoning or environmental answers, please also check with the city and your attorney or consultant.

What to Check on a Building or Yard

• Loading: dock-high doors, grade-level doors and room for trailers to turn.
• Clear height and power for racking, machinery and production.
• Security: fencing, gates, lighting and cameras.
• Freeway time: how many turns and lights sit between your gate and the I-10, I-215 or SR-210.
• Lease terms: length, increases, and who pays taxes, insurance and maintenance in an NNN lease.

How I Work With You

3. We tour and compare the best options.
4. I negotiate rent, price and the terms that matter most to you.
5. I stay with you through closing or move-in.
