Rail-Served Warehousing in Florence, Kentucky
Commonwealth's Florence facility brings Norfolk Southern rail service directly to your warehousing program in Northern Kentucky. Two miles from the I-75/71 interchange, it connects shippers to the NS rail network for transloading and ambient storage without the dray costs of moving freight to an off-site rail terminal.
Industries Served
Industries we serve from Florence
Florence is built for programs where rail access and transloading are part of the freight equation. Industrial products shippers use the Norfolk Southern rail docks to move heavy inbound volume without relying entirely on over-the-road capacity. Explore industrial products warehousing. Consumer packaged goods companies use the ambient storage and front-loaded layout to stage inbound rail freight for outbound truck distribution. See our approach to consumer packaged goods. When rail is part of your network, Florence puts that connection inside your warehouse.

106,847 square feet with active Norfolk Southern rail service
The Florence facility runs 106,847 square feet with 15 dock doors, a drive-in door, and a 20 foot clear ceiling. The building sits in Greater Cincinnati's largest industrial park, two miles from the I-75/71 interchange. Six active Norfolk Southern rail docks bring the railroad directly into the building, so freight can move from railcar to storage or straight to outbound trucks without leaving the facility. Column spacing of 40 by 34 feet and pre-cast concrete construction give the floor plan flexibility across a wide range of storage and handling programs.
The NS rail connection is the defining feature of this building. Transloading from rail to truck or truck to rail happens on site, eliminating the dray moves that add cost and transit time to rail-inclusive programs. Ambient storage and a mix of rack and bulk options give you flexibility across product types, and the secure fenced and gated yard keeps freight protected between moves. Note: this facility is served exclusively by Norfolk Southern, not CSX.
