Big Yard Building Brokers is the industrial and land team at Lee & Associates Riverside, led by Senior Vice President and Partner Craig Yocum. Craig has spent 40 years representing owners, investors and corporate occupiers of industrial buildings, truck and trailer yards and outdoor storage land across the Inland Empire, with more than 1,000 transactions and over $3 billion in closed volume. Every assignment is handled directly by a partner, from site selection and valuation through negotiation, due diligence and closing.
For corporate and regional users, Craig starts with your requirements: building size, clear height, yard and trailer parking, power, zoning, freeway access and timing. He then delivers a short list of buildings and sites that actually fit, including properties that are not widely marketed, along with recent sale and lease comparables so every decision is backed by data.
IOS stands for industrial outdoor storage. It describes industrial land with little or no building coverage that is used for storing trucks, trailers, equipment, containers or materials.
Craig Yocum and the Big Yard Building Brokers team at Lee & Associates Riverside represent IOS buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Call (909) 228-4748.
Many investors are attracted to IOS because land is scarce near major logistics hubs and the sites need little building maintenance. Each site’s zoning, tenant and lease terms matter, so review the details with a broker.
Check the zoning code and any specific plan or conditional use permit for the parcel. Craig’s team confirms permitted uses before you commit.
Share your size, location, budget and timeline and Craig will send matching options, usually within one business day.
