Industrial Real Estate: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between commercial and industrial real estate?
Industrial real estate is technically a sub-type of commercial real estate, but there are several key differences between the industrial sector and most commercial properties. The biggest difference is that commercial properties are likely to offer public uses while industrial facilities are not. This creates a distinct divide between the two, specifically in how they look and operate.
Retailers, supermarkets, and stores depend on an appealing storefront and a welcoming interior to entice customers. In contrast, industrial users very rarely have clients in their properties. They do not need their property to be visually appealing or have commercial zoning—they just need space and a good location.
What are the different types of industrial real estate?
There are many types of industrial real estate properties, but they can be summarized using these three main categories: Manufacturing Facilities, Industrial Warehouses for Storage and Distribution, and Flex Space.
Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing Facilities encompass both heavy and light industrial real estate. Heavy manufacturing usually requires a massive space to accommodate loading docks, heavy machinery, and more. However, light manufacturing facilities don’t need as much space and are much more flexible.
Industrial Warehouses for Storage and Distribution
Numerous businesses need a facility to store their equipment, overstock, vehicles, or parts. Some examples of potential uses include truck terminals, distribution warehouses, and storage.
Flex Space
A flex space refers to industrial structures that have been partially transformed into office space. Some examples of potential uses include car dealerships, data centers, and research bases.
Are industrial properties a good investment?
When compared to residential properties, industrial properties are considered easier to find and easier to deal with as an owner, making them a great investment. Here are some additional reasons you might want to consider investing in industrial real estate:
- Industrial properties demand less upkeep compared to other real estate types.
- Industrial businesses typically commit to extended lease agreements.
- Vacancy rates are often lower than most types of real estate.
- A business or investor is almost always looking to purchase industrial buildings.
- Repairs or improvements aren’t necessary in order to sell your industrial building.
