27-68 Acre Improved Industrial Tract — I-35E Frontage, No Zoning, Growth Edge
Marketing description
CTC Auto Ranch presents a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 27-68 acres positioned directly on the IH-35E service road in Denton County, where data-backed IOS and terminal voids meet decades of proven operational history. The property combines scale, interstate visibility, and operational flexibility in a corridor benefiting from industrial expansion, transportation investment, and long-term North Texas growth—yet materially under-served by existing yard and outdoor-storage infrastructure. For 35 years it operated as one of the county's most prominent outdoor vehicle storage and salvage sites, demonstrating long-run viability through multiple cycles. That legacy, paired with Esri/Data Axle analysis showing structural shortfalls in freight terminals, equipment yards, and IOS capacity within 45 minutes, supports its strongest current positioning: a large-scale industrial site ideally suited for outdoor storage, fleet and truck terminals, contractor yards, equipment laydown, and phased industrial development in a corridor where demand has outpaced supply.
