Test-fits, not tours: pick the right floor in one visit

A tour tells you how a space feels. A test-fit tells you whether your company can actually operate there.

  1. The easy last-mile trade is over

Pricing for clean, single-story logistics assets already reflects the demand story. The more interesting basis now sits in properties that require operational judgment rather than a simple cap-rate comparison.

  1. What we are screening for

Small-bay industrial with multiple loading patterns can serve a wider tenant pool and absorb vacancy in smaller pieces.

  • Clear heights above 16 feet

  • Reliable power and legal manufacturing use

  • Truck access that works at peak hours

  • Floor plates divisible below 10,000 square feet

  1. Underwrite the exit tenant first

Before pricing the in-place rent, identify who can physically occupy the building after the current tenant leaves. The depth of that future tenant pool is a better risk signal than a few extra basis points of going-in yield.
