Features include: cross-dock loading on three sides; 36 dock-high doors; two drive-in doors; a 110-foot truck court; 22-foot clear height; substantial employee parking; and an existing Union Pacific rail spur and rail doors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c411 Farwell is a highly functional distribution asset with the infrastructure, scale, and location to serve a wide range of industrial users,\u201d said Peter Goffstein, executive vice president of IRG. \u201cThe property\u2019s cross-dock configuration, rail capability, and access to the Twin Cities transportation network make it a strong addition to our portfolio and an attractive opportunity for companies seeking efficient regional or national distribution space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Construction in the Twin Cities market saw the industrial pipeline expand 81% in 12 months with nearly 5.6 million square feet of new industrial space in development at the close of July 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, with leases averaging $7.77 per square foot, industrial space in Minnesota\u2019s Twin Cities commanded roughly $1 more per square foot than rents in Chicago as of July.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, sales closed here during the first seven months of the year added up to $595 million \u2014 the fourth-largest year-to-date sales total among Midwestern U.S. markets in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategically
