Property Overview
NW Flex Space Naef Road is the flagship campus of NW Flex Space’s Portland metro portfolio — a 215,303-square-foot industrial facility at 3901 Southeast Naef Road in Milwaukie, Oregon. Built in 2003, it is the newest and largest of the operator’s four campuses, featuring 24-foot clear ceiling height, 4 loading docks with grade-level access, 2 drive-in bays, and 277-480 volt power systems. The 2003 construction delivers modern industrial building standards — superior insulation, contemporary fire suppression, updated electrical infrastructure, and efficient column spacing — that older facilities in the Portland market cannot match.
The Naef Road campus anchors NW Flex Space’s approximately 500,000-square-foot Portland metro network, serving as the operator’s premium location for businesses that prioritize building quality alongside flexible lease terms. Tenants include contractors, distributors, manufacturers, tech startups, artisans, and professional service providers who benefit from the campus’s all-inclusive pricing structure. Utilities (gas, electric, water, trash, WiFi), shared infrastructure (forklift, conference room, kitchen, break room, lounge, campus marketplace), and building services (surveillance, sprinklers, serviced restrooms, reinforced concrete construction) are all included in a single monthly payment with lease terms from month-to-month to multi-year.
The Naef Road location in southeastern Milwaukie sits at the intersection of the Clackamas County industrial corridor and the I-205 highway system. The campus is approximately one mile from I-205, providing direct north-south connectivity to Portland, Oregon City, and the I-5 interchange. The SE Milwaukie industrial zone — home to NW Flex Space’s three Milwaukie campuses — offers tenants the infrastructure density of Portland’s industrial base with the cost and tax advantages of an unincorporated Clackamas County address. IG2 general industrial zoning permits warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, production, and heavy commercial operations without use restrictions.
Local Area
Southeastern Milwaukie’s Naef Road industrial area has attracted increasing tenant interest as Portland-area businesses seek modern industrial space outside the city’s jurisdiction. The Clackamas County location offers operational advantages: no City of Portland business license tax, streamlined industrial permitting, and lower property tax rates compared to properties within Portland city limits. These cost benefits, combined with I-205 highway access and proximity to the broader Portland metro workforce, have made the Milwaukie industrial corridor one of the region’s strongest-performing small-format industrial submarkets.
