Portal Warehousing
Portal Warehousing (“Portal”) is an Industrial platform that provides flexible, small‑scale industrial spaces for modern businesses and e-commerce merchants. Portal acquires infill industrial properties and repurposes them into right‑sized warehouse suites (100–2,500 SF), designed for the operational needs of small businesses, e-commerce brands, and logistics users. Each suite is delivered turnkey, with dock‑high loading, industrial zoning, and shared logistics infrastructure—enabling tenants to operate at a professional standard without long‑term lease commitments or major upfront costs.
