Columbia Commerce Center offers a rare opportunity to acquire fully entitled, shovel-ready industrial land in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Spanning 361 +/- acres within the City of Scappoose — with an additional 288 +/- acres available beyond the Urban Growth Boundary — the site arrives with roads, utilities, and stormwater retention already in place, eliminating the delays and costs typical of greenfield development. Zoned for light industrial use across four designations, including Airport Industrial Park and East Airport Employment, the property accommodates a wide range of business types and scales. What truly sets Columbia Commerce Center apart is its direct taxiway access to Scappoose Industrial Airpark, a General Aviation-rated airport fully equipped for corporate aircraft — making this one of the few sites in the region where fee ownership of industrial real estate comes with runway access.
