If you’re looking for a truck terminal for sale in Louisville KY, understanding how these facilities perform in today’s logistics-driven market is key. At Summit Commercial Group, we specialize in helping our clients maximize the value of their industrial assets, including cross-dock facilities, freight terminals, logistics hubs, and truck yards across Kentucky and Indiana.
This case study highlights our recent success leasing a high-performance industrial truck terminal in Louisville KY. Located at 2220 South 7th Street Road, Louisville, KY this 19,050 SF property demonstrates how targeted strategy and local expertise can drive results—even in a specialized segment of the industrial real estate market.
Property Overview
The property, situated on 4.14 acres in Louisville’s urban core, is a prime example of a high-functioning truck terminal. Zoned EZ-1 and designed for heavy logistics use, it features:
-
✅ 47 dock-high doors, allowing for high-volume cross-docking and freight transfers
-
✅ EZ-1 zoning, ideal for logistics operations and transportation-related businesses
-
✅ Strategic location near I-264, I-65, and key distribution corridors
-
✅ Sufficient acreage for maneuvering and truck parking
For companies seeking a freight terminal for sale in Louisville KY or a logistics facility with cross-dock access, this type of asset is ideal. Whether it’s a regional distribution center or a warehouse with truck bays, these properties continue to be in high demand across the metro area.
Challenges
Although this truck terminal facility was in excellent condition, the layout, size, and dock configuration meant it appealed primarily to a specific user type. Unlike general industrial properties for lease in Louisville KY, truck terminals like this require tenants with clear logistics, transportation, or freight-forwarding operations.
We knew this wasn’t a match for light industrial users or traditional warehouse tenants. Our audience was narrow, but highly qualified: logistics operators, freight companies, last-mile distributors, and regional transportation hubs.
Strategic Approach
To ensure this truck terminal reached the right prospects, we executed a focused marketing campaign designed to reach high-intent users in the logistics and trucking industry.
Our strategy included:
-
📧 Direct outreach to over 200 logistics and transportation companies across the Louisville and Southern Indiana region
-
🖥️ Digital marketing content, including high-quality flyers, drone imagery, and targeted email campaigns
-
📬 Direct mailers sent to local and regional freight operators
-
🗣️ Broker-to-broker networking with professionals who focus on distribution centers and transportation hubs
-
📍 Showcasing the property’s EZ-1 zoning, dock density, and geographic proximity to key corridors
While we initially secured interest from a well-known regional operator, their operational requirements clashed with the building’s unique footprint and loading flow. This is common with cross-dock facilities for sale in Louisville KY—the details matter.
Successful Outcome
Whether you’re searching for a truck terminal for sale in Louisville KY, or looking to lease a freight-ready warehouse with dock access, understanding the local market is essential.
-
Demand remains strong for cross-dock and logistics facilities with high door counts and flexible zoning.
-
Proximity to I-264, I-65, UPS Worldport, and Riverport continues to make Louisville a top-tier distribution market in the Midwest.
-
EZ-1 and M zoning properties near major infrastructure are increasingly rare and valuable.
Facilities like this don’t stay on the market long, whether they’re for lease or for sale.
