About Interurban Properties Charlotte

The Interurban Legacy: Powering Modern Industrial Growth

Connecting Historic Railways to Charlotte's Industrial Future

In the late 1800s, "interurban" evoked the electric railways that stitched cities together—swift, efficient lines hauling freight and passengers across urban hubs and rural expanses, fueling America's industrial boom.  At Interurban Properties, Inc., we carry that same spirit into Charlotte's vibrant commercial real estate landscape.


Named for those pioneering networks, our boutique brokerage connects industrial, logistics, and life sciences clients to strategic properties across the Carolinas and Southeast. Just as interurbans bridged distances to enable manufacturing and distribution, we deliver off-market access, data-driven site selection, and tailored strategies that power your operations - from logistics hubs in Charlotte's corridors to life sciences labs in emerging Southeast clusters.
