Property Features

Columbia Business Center has evolved into one of the largest and most unique industrial parks in the Pacific Northwest, with over 220 acres of waterfront property housing 2 million square feet of outside storage, rail services, barge/water access, and 27 buildings that are home to more than 100 tenants.

With an ideal location along the Columbia River, this site’s reputation as a vital business center was established in early 1942, when the Kaiser shipyard launched the first of more than 140 ships constructed for the United States Navy during World War II. At the peak of operations, over 38,000 people were employed here, effectively tripling the population of Vancouver, which is why it is still affectionately referred to locally as "the Kaiser Shipyard". Blending vintage buildings with new is part of the unique character of Columbia Business Center, enabling it to suit a diverse range of businesses from steel manufacturers to beverage distributors, from electrical contractors to physical therapists.

The versatility of this park is unmatched, as many buildings are rail-served and larger projects can be loaded out on the Columbia River via the active barge slip. Strategically located off Highway 14 and minutes away from both I-5 and I-205, with shopping, restaurants, walking trails, and many other amenities at Columbia Business Center’s doorstep, this remains the place "Where Business Happens". Columbia Business Center’s dynamic history contributes to its vibrant tenant base and high occupancy rate. We invite you to contact us so you can become a part of our future!
