Forward Business Park operates two Ohio locations — Columbus and Cleveland — serving one of America’s most strategically located industrial states. Within a 10-hour drive of Ohio’s geographic center, you reach 60% of the US population, which is why so much of America’s logistics, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing infrastructure runs through here.
Why Ohio for industrial flex:
- Logistics dominance — Columbus is a major sortation hub (Amazon, multiple LTL carriers); Cleveland is the gateway to NE Ohio + western Pennsylvania industrial markets
- Healthcare giants — Cleveland Clinic, OhioHealth, Nationwide Children’s drive constant supplier and contractor demand
- Advanced manufacturing — Honda, Ford, GE, and a deep aerospace/defense supply chain
- Cost vs. East Coast / West Coast — Ohio flex rents run 40-60% below equivalent coastal markets
