The available property features approximately 40 acres in the southern portion of Terminal 5 – one of the port’s rail-served terminals on the Columbia River.
With an existing fixed dock at Terminal 5 and nearby floating dock at Terminal 4 for autos, plenty of laydown space, high-efficiency rail access and the option to easily add additional rail, the site is ideal for a mineral bulk or auto facility.
“Terminal 5 is a very unique property on the U.S. West Coast,” said port Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Alastair Smith. “The access to river, road and rail is unparalleled; you have the 43-foot-deep Columbia River shipping channel, high-capacity rail and excellent surface transportation access for local as well as interstate deliveries.
“There’s a lot of possibility in this site and we look forward to hearing from firms interested in partnering with us to grow their business in our community.”
Terminal 5 is served by a loop track completed in 2010 as part of the port’s $275 million West Vancouver Freight Access project (WVFA). WVFA is nearly complete and will allow the port to handle up to 400,000 rail cars annually by 2018.
