The Three Reasons This Works
The Land Cost
At sub-$9/SF for 112,296 SF of cleared, level, sewer-ready industrial land, the basis is the advantage. Industrial land of this size in Southeastern Massachusetts at this price point is rare. The infrastructure savings alone — sewer already on-site — represent a meaningful cost reduction on day one.
The Size
2.57 contiguous acres gives a buyer genuine flexibility. The site accommodates a range of industrial building footprints, outdoor storage, truck circulation, and employee parking — all within a single ownership. This is not a small infill lot. This is a real operating site.
The Location
Taunton is a growing Gateway City with active industrial activity, a motivated municipal government, and direct highway access to Routes 24, 44, and 140. The site is 10 minutes from the East Taunton MBTA Commuter Rail Station on County Street providing a genuine labor shed for employers.
What The Zoning Supports
The following uses are permitted or allowable by right or special permit in Taunton's Industrial District under Chapter 440 of the Taunton Zoning Ordinance. All development subject to Site Plan Review by the Taunton Planning Board.
Light Manufacturing
Assembly, fabrication, processing, and manufacturing operations. Standard industrial use by right in the Industrial District.
Warehouse and Distribution
Storage, logistics, and distribution facilities. One of the most active use categories in the current industrial market.
Flex Industrial
Combined office and light industrial space. Strong demand from contractor, trades, and service businesses seeking owner-user buildings.
Contractor Yard and Storage
Outdoor storage and equipment yards. Well-suited to the site's size and cleared condition.
Self-Storage Facility
A high-demand asset class with strong cash flow and relatively straightforward permitting in industrial zones.
Data Center or Tech Infrastructure
Industrial-zoned land is increasingly targeted for data center and infrastructure builds. Sewer on-site is an asset for these uses.
Truck Terminal and Logistics Hub
Taunton's highway access to Routes 24, 44, and 140 makes this viable for last-mile and regional distribution.
Owner-User Industrial Building
2.57 acres supports a 30,000 to 50,000 SF industrial building with full parking, loading, and yard — sized for a mid-market owner-user.
All uses subject to Taunton Zoning Ordinance Chapter 440, Site Plan Review, and applicable permitting. Buyer's counsel and the Taunton Planning Department should confirm use eligibility prior to purchase.
Development Concepts
Three illustrative scenarios showing how the 2.57-acre site could be developed under its Industrial District zoning. These are conceptual massing studies intended to spark ideas — not construction documents.
Illustrative VisualizationScenario A
Owner-User Flex Industrial
30,000–50,000 SF building | Office + Warehouse + Loading
A single-tenant flex building sized for a contractor, trades, or service business seeking to own rather than lease — combining front office with clear-span warehouse and dock/drive-in loading.
Massing Study
Illustrative VisualizationScenario B
Warehouse & Distribution
50,000–80,000 SF | 6+ Dock Doors | Full Truck Court
A distribution-focused footprint leveraging the site depth and Taunton's highway access for last-mile or regional logistics, with a full truck court and multiple dock positions.
Massing Study
Illustrative VisualizationScenario C
Self-Storage Facility
400–600 Units | Climate & Non-Climate | Gated
A gated, multi-building self-storage campus — a high-demand, cash-flowing asset class that permits comparatively cleanly in industrial zones and suits the cleared, level site.
Massing Study
Conceptual Only — Not Approved Plans
The renderings above are conceptual ideas and illustrative massing studies presented to demonstrate the site's development potential. They are not approved plans, permitted designs, engineered drawings, or representations of what will be built. No plans have been submitted to or approved by the City of Taunton. All development is subject to Site Plan Review, zoning compliance, permitting, and the buyer's own design and feasibility work.
