Investment Strategy

We target infill submarkets that contain localized pockets of self-sufficient economics that also serve the greater MSAs. Investments are strategically located near local consumers, businesses, and key infrastructure.

Our primary investment strategy focuses on core-plus and value-add acquisitions of industrial property, specifically catering to small business America and light industry. We target shallow and medium bay industrial assets, promoting and encouraging domestic manufacturing, production, and distribution.

Our secondary strategy focuses on the opportunistic acquisition and development of property, infrastructure, and systems. We specifically target flex industrial parks, specialized industrial assets, opportunistic greenfield sites, and power infrastructure that meets the demands of heavy industry, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and other high performance compute.

TOTAL CAPITALIZATION
 

Flexible industrial properties offer several characteristics and dynamics that make them attractive relative to traditional distribution and logistics real estate, such as a diversified tenant base, substantial value-add opportunities, and attractive supply and demand characteristics.

 
DIVERSIFIED TENANT BASE

  • Staggered lease rollovers result in a smoother NOI profile

  • Swifter adjustment for inflation and rent appreciation with more frequent mark-to market opportunities

  • Reduced tenant credit and industry
    concentration risk

  • Tenants can expand and contract within the same property at minimal cost, leading to higher tenant retention

  • Flexible assets enable ease of repositioning to meet ever-evolving business needs

VALUE-ADD OPPORTUNITIES

  • Legacy and fragmented ownership allows for operational improvements to mismanaged assets

  • Increase curb appeal via capital
    improvements and deferred maintenance

  • Ability to reposition functionally obsolete layouts and sub-optimal unit mixes according to market demand

  • Monetize excess land or other unique site features via industrial outdoor storage or other ancillary income initiatives

  • Expanded utility systems and industrial infrastructure to meet the changing needs of various industrial uses

ATTRACTIVE SUPPLY & DEMAND

  • Many multi-tenant industrial properties are in areas where the highest-and-best use of land is for residential and other commercial use

  • With land prices prohibitively expensive, new industrial development is focused on single-tenant, big-box properties

  • Demand for smaller and more flexible space has increased as entrepreneurial businesses gain momentum and benefit from access to public and private economic incentives

  • Opportunity to enhance assets to meet the demands of modern industrial tenants, fueled by domestic re-industrialization
