Why Light Industrial?

As far as real estate goes, multi-tenant light industrial warehouse may not be top of mind for visual appeal; however, its attractiveness lies in its cashflow, leasing demand, and lack of recent development. Given today’s e-commerce environment, there is a severe shortage of small units available for last-mile delivery. Often overlooked as an asset class for private and institutional investors, the right operator can bring this diamond out of the rough.

Multi-tenant light industrial warehouse naturally draws comparisons with multi-family investments. Like multi-family, it has a multitude of small/medium, in-line tenants, where your unit is worth more per square foot then larger unit types; and if a tenant moves out, it does not have a significant impact on your-rent-roll. However, different from multi-family and other asset classes, your operational expenses are as low as they can possibly be, you avoid residential and legislative issues, and have minimal costs associated to turning over a unit because extensive improvements are not needed to re-let a space.

Vacancy is rare in this asset class for well run properties and there is a constant flow of interested tenants who are looking for space. Most of the asset classes’ existing space is between 20-40 years old as there has been very limited delivery of new product to the market for light industrial across California. If you lose a tenant in a multi-tenant investment, you typically replace them quickly with a superior tenant at a better lease rate. This abates issues found in large net lease investments where if a single or the dominant tenant vacates, you are more heavily impacted.

Low expenses and high demand may sound ideal but one of the reasons more people are not jumping on the multi-tenant light industrial bandwagon is because the asset class has a seemingly high burden of property management and they are not easy to operate UNLESS you have the experience to know how to run them efficiently. WHSE Partners has extensive experience in operating this asset class and has spent years creating and perfecting a program that leads to success.

               

Highlights

EASE OF CONSTRUCTION

The construction of light industrial assets is streamlined and efficient when you work with the right people. The timeline for delivery is approximately 12 months from permits to occupancy.

DEMAND

Vacancy rates are extremely low; the tenant base is very underserved and there is not enough inventory for the space needed. On the acquisition and disposition side, the properties throw off such consistent cash flow and high returns that they rarely come to the open market if they become available for sale at all.

ALL-WEATHER

In prosperous economies, tenants move from their garages into light industrial units. In weaker economies, tenants in 5,000+ square foot spaces reduce their footprint to smaller units to wait out the storms.

LAST MILE

No more evident than right now in this uncertain economy, last-mile delivery is bursting at the seams, desperately in need of more space to keep up with the e-commerce demand. Multi-tenant light Industrial warehouse is a key element in the manufacturing -> delivery process that cannot be overlooked.

Maximize Layout

We make sure to design the site with the future tenants in mind, especially when it comes to placing yards, roll-up doors, utilities/trash enclosures, adjacent buildings, and common area amenities.

Floorplan Efficiencies

We spec each unit to the most universally accepted floorplan that maximizes the footprint and aligns the plumbing to be most cost-effective during development. If you account for future needs to start with, you have more efficient operations down the road.

Superior Management

Property management may seem straightforward but industrial properties throw curveballs that many are not equipped for. When you provide tenants too much slack and don’t complete enough due diligence prior to leasing, people get duped into placing tenants with ‘dirty’ or ‘not allowed’ uses. This also can happen if the manager doesn’t check on the property enough. By having close oversight of the management team, we ensure there is a plan in place for everything from preventative maintenance to evictions.

Effective Vendors

When there is a job to be done, the two ends of the spectrum are: vendors that are too expensive for the job at hand, taking advantage of the management company, or vendors that are too cheap to do an effective job. We ensure the bidding process for jobs is prompt and balanced and you will often find the middle ground is the best value for your dollar.
