Broe Real Estate Commits $100M to Expand Rail-Linked IOS Platform
Broe Real Estate Group, the real estate affiliate of The Broe Group, has committed $100 million to scale its industrial rail real estate platform into a national network of industrial outdoor storage (IOS) and multimodal logistics hubs.
The platform is being developed in collaboration with OmniTRAX, Broe’s national railroad network, and is designed to meet growing demand for flexible logistics infrastructure that integrates rail connectivity with proximity to key end markets.
“Customer demand for non-traditional industrial sites that combine efficient market access with multimodal connectivity is exceptionally high,” said Chris Tecu, SVP at Broe Real Estate Group. “The broad need for port to consumer solutions has driven the decision to accelerate the expansion of our platform into a national network of logistics hubs that support our customers’ evolving domestic supply chains.”
BREG’s IOS strategy focuses on providing cost-efficient alternatives to traditional warehouse space, offering flexible storage for equipment and goods while enabling direct access to rail and port infrastructure. Through OmniTRAX’s 35-railroad network, the platform connects customers to the broader North American freight system, including Class I railroads and five major ports.
“The expansion of our IOS platform provides an immediate benefit for our rail real estate customers,” said Colby Tanner, CEO of OmniTRAX. “Additional IOS sites are the ideal complement for our transload and logistics clients.”
