You can read the entire article and see all terms in out blog: https://www.warehousesmarket.com/blog Leasing a warehouse space can sometimes be a complicated process and there are many terms tenants might not be familiar. Our blog outlines most of the common terms used by landlord and tenants. Here are the top 5 that are more important to remember: Base Rent: Very common on NNN leases. This is the rent that goes to landlord and separate from operating expenses and property taxes. Common Area Maintenance (CAM): These are the expenses the landlord pays for maintenance on the building. Includes but not limited to Property Taxes, Property Insurance and exterior maintenance. Gross Lease vs. NNN Lease: Most landlords are now moving towards NNN leases. The big difference is that a gross lease, the lease rate include all operating expenses, and the NNN lease separates the “Base Rent” vs. “CAM”. Build-out/Leasehold Improvements: These are improvements that Landlord plans to do for the space to the benefit of the tenant. Also might increase the value of the building. This includes Office buildout, warehouse lights, refrigeration equipment and others. Lease Concessions: This can also be seen as incentives from Landlord to help the tenant during the transition. It can a simple month of free rent or cash to tenant to build out specific office or others. Featured Property: 1800 NW 89th PL.

Thanks for following! This is Episode 14 of our Industrial Real Estate Podcast. We are discussing the accelerating demand for cold storage facilities after the Covid-19 pandemic. You can read the entire article in our blog: https://www.warehousesmarket.com/blog Cooler Warehouses are Hot! Demand for cold storage has been increasing over the last few years and now this pandemic has accelerated this trend. Studies suggest that an additional 75 – 100 million SF of refrigerated space will be needed. Here are a five trends to look for in this sector: Exponential growth of E-commerce Grocery delivery Public Warehouse Consolidation. Existing Cold Storage companies merging. Fulfillment centers inside retail Big Box retail shops. Shift is restaurant from dine into delivery and pick up. No need for retail. Automation will make facilities more efficient. Specially in land supply constraint sites. Higher building with less need for personnel. We are also seeing Investment Funds adding cold storage facilities to their portfolios. It’s an 180 degree turn from a few years ago when they showed no interest in these facilities.

Thanks for following us! This is Episode 11 of our Industrial Real Estate Podcast. We are discussing the top 5 questions to ask when hiring a new leasing broker, or a broker for a sale of an industrial building. You can read our article on our Blog page under our website: www.warehousesmarket.com/Blog Here are the questions to keep in mind. Does this leasing firm have a good reputation? Do your research online, check for what they've done and current listings. Ask list of deals. Also references you can rely on. Be sure they don't have conflict of interest by having competing properties. How well does this firm know the local market? Check how long the firm has been in business. Ask about lease rates, sale comparables. Plus what target tenants or buyers they'll target. How well does this firm know your specific property type? Do they do all real estate, commercial or only industrial? Your property requires attention so be sure the agent specializes on your property. In many markets, including Miami, residential agents tend to list commercial properties. This can create delays and mis-pricing of properties as these agents are not experienced on commercial real estate. What channels would the broker use to market your property? As to show you a map of all marketing outlets they’ll use. What other services does this brokerage firm offer? Do they have a networks of service providers? Including management company, contractors.

Sale-Leaseback can be defined as a transaction in which the seller of an asset is able to lease out the property from the buyer immediately after the sale is finalized. Most businesses will engage in a sale leaseback when trying to free up capital by untying cash in an asset or other investments without getting rid of the resource that is vital to operations. Seller Benefits: Free Up Capital to work at higher rate of return. Lock market price. Maintain business as usual Less Management Easier than Financing Buyer Advantages: Predictable rate of return Customized lease terms You can check out the full article on our Blog: https://www.warehousesmarket.com/what-is-a-sale-leaseback-on-industrial-properties For this Episode our Featured Listing is : 12707 Le Jenue Rd, Up to 75,000SF of cooler space for lease in Miami, Florida.
