Detroit Metro Area: Cold Storage Warehouses with Coolers or Freezers

Cold Storage Warehouse for Lease or Sale | Warehouse Finder

First principles - building out and maintaining Cold Storage capability can be an expensive proposition. For this reason at a minimum, unused Cold Storage space tends to be scarce.

Sometimes you will find facilities - often large - that have been vacated and are available to buy or lease. Figuring out if this type of facility is usable can be an undertaking. You will need to assess a wide range of issues - refrigeration methods, insulation quality and status, temperature ranges and divisibility, etc., etc.. You likely won't know exactly why the prior occupant decided to move out, so, of course, take care.
If you have the scale, you will probably want to at least consider acquiring land and building. Of course, this requires more capital investment, so it needs to fit within the financial strategy of your company. This method should be expected to be better for your company from a COGS perspective, but it's possible you'll pay a price in flexibility over the long term. Build your own is not a decision to be taken lightly.
Another is to find someone who's built it for themselve and determine whether or not they have space they aren't using and lease some space from them.
Another is to find Cold Storage equipped space already built that is for sale or lease and have your Broker help you lease or buy the space.
In the area of lease, there are people who build buildings to sub-divide the space and lease portions of the space to tenants. If this includes cold storage space, this could be your answer.
There are also 3rd Party Logistics providers that provide and/or specialize in cold storage and will sell you cold storage as a part of a logistics package.

There are likely other options, and any of these may be an option for you.

Cold Storage Warehouse for Sale - Detroit Metro Area

With an exchange rate that favors imports, buying wholesale food in Canada and distributing it in the United States is a good business.

Detroit is an excellent distribution point, so having a cold storage warehouse in or around Detroit can be essential. Otherwise: if you want to export food to Canada, Detroit may be a must and the last place where food can wait, well refrigerated, until it is ready to enter the Great Dominion. Either way, you can rent or buy an industrial property in Detroit for all these purposes.
