Insignia Lands Listing for 240-Acre Expansion of City's Industrial Park

LONGVIEW, WA-A team of Insignia brokers from the company’s Portland and Seattle offices will try their hand at adding users to the 240-acre second phase of The Mint Farm, the City of Longview’s master-planned industrial park.

The Mint Farm is named after the hundreds of acres of mint crops that graced the area from 1926 through the 1950′s. Last year, the industrial park tripled in size when the Army Corps of Engineers issued a permit to grow the 125-acre park by another 240 acres. The 125-acre first phase of the park is about two-thirds full, with companies having acquired 80 acres of land.

Weyerhaeuser actually owns the land for the second phase and is the one that hired Insignia, but the City has the right to purchase the land and flip it to any interested party should one come along. “I don’t presume to speak for Weyerhaeuser, but I assume they wanted to see if they could bring more attention to the project, more attention than we or they had been generating,” Longview City Manager Ed Ivey tells GlobeSt.com. “I believe Insignia had generated some activity on Weyerhaeuser land up in the Olympia area and that got the company’s attention.”
