What do Industrial Tenants Need?

Traditional warehouses will include quality height, size, loading and unloading facilities, quality office space to support industrial operations, ample car parking for staff and customers, hardstand areas for operational flexibility, and high levels of security to protect the tenant’s goods and their function. Today’s industrial tenants are far more sophisticated and demanding when selecting a property to lease or buy.

Taking the First Step to Investment in Industrial Property

Industrial warehouses are simple to construct and have a long economic life; hence, investors see them as an entry-level investment vehicle and popular. Providing they select a sound and strong tenant and apply a good lease, the property’s stable future is normally achievable. There is very little management required on industrial property, and as a direct result, many private investors will manage the industrial property themselves. Unfortunately, this does have negative connotations. The first-time investor sometimes lacks awareness of the specialist terms and operational conditions supported by lease documentation on their property.

 

These first-time investors can then overlook critical matters and make mistakes. To the experienced commercial property specialist and commercial real estate agent, it is easy to see these ‘first-time’ landlord-managed properties as you drive through a town or city. The errors of ownership are visually obvious. These errors can even reflect in the ultimate levels of rent and price on the property. Invariably and importantly, this self-management problem will surface at the final sale or rent review when the investor has overlooked something or transacted it incorrectly.

The property buyers today will conduct a due diligence period and investigate any property before settlement. However, those property owners who manage their investments should only do so when and if they completely understand the complexity of the task. If the investors have only a basic understanding of property performance and function, they should not self-manage it. The matter is plain and simple.
