Greater Cleveland Ohio Land for Sale

Searching for land for sale near Cleveland, Ohio? Whether you are interested in diversifying your investment portfolio or are planning to build a new facility for your business operations, purchasing land is an exciting decision.

Here at Cushman & Wakefield | CRESCO, our real estate experts are well-versed in the disposition and acquisition of land for commercial and industrial use. Below, learn about several of the advantages of buying land, things to consider when purchasing land, and available parcels of land for sale in the Greater Cleveland area.

Advantages of Buying Land

Purchasing land rather than an existing building certainly has its advantages. For investors, buying vacant land is usually a more affordable long-term investment, as property fees and taxes tend to be lower than those for developed land. Land also requires significantly less maintenance than developed commercial properties such as offices and industrial facilities. 

For business owners looking to develop the property, vacant land offers the benefit of complete freedom and flexibility (within the regulations set by zoning laws) to build according to your needs. If the property is larger than what you require for your operations, you can lease the unused facilities to help offset your costs. 

Things to Consider When Purchasing Land

We always recommend partnering with a qualified real estate broker when selling or buying land. True, a vacant parcel of land has no existing structures to be inspected. But it is still essential to evaluate the condition of the property, such as the slope of the ground and the amount of work required (leveling the land, clearing brush and debris, etc.) in order to host a building, parking lot, or other structures. 

Additionally, the location of the land itself is one of the most important considerations. Is the property conveniently located for clients, suppliers, and employees? Is it easily accessible from major highways and shipping lanes? Most importantly of all, is the land zoned for your business needs and activities?

Lastly, how might adjacent properties or businesses impact the value of your land, as well as your daily operations? A retail store would likely benefit from close proximity to a restaurant, grocery store, or shopping center. By comparison, customer-facing businesses should usually avoid moving in next to industrial properties, even if the zoning is right.
