Transformative Shifts in Industrial Land Use
March 11, 2024

Over the past seven years, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) region has witnessed a notable transformation in development patterns, transitioning from rural to suburban, and finally to intensified urban use. This evolution has led to a scarcity of industrial land due to longstanding restrictions imposed by zoning and growth policies. However, the surge in demand for industrial properties, driven by the rise of e-commerce and the need for distribution facilities, has created unprecedented challenges for jurisdictions, particularly in urban suburbs, where existing structures and properly zoned land are limited. In response, Soltesz, drawing on 44 years of expertise in civil engineering, land planning, environmental sciences, surveying, and zoning, offers a comprehensive white paper on the future of industrial development in the DMV area. Covering critical aspects such as location analysis, infrastructure evaluation, zoning analysis, building design considerations, and site design intricacies, this paper provides invaluable insights to address the burgeoning needs of the industrial market segment. With Soltesz as your trusted partner, benefit from our expertise to navigate the complexities of industrial development and turn your vision into reality.
