At Haydel Biel & Associates, we like to educate our clients and prospective clients on new and unique investment opportunities. We do this because we believe that understanding what investments are available to you and learning what your portfolio is made of will help you be empowered to further pursue your financial goals. To that end, we hosted an investment dinner at the Arroyo Chophouse on August 3rd, where we heard from an engaging speaker from Sealy Strategic Equity Partners, L.P. who discussed their investment opportunity in industrial real estate.
Why Industrial Real Estate?
You’ve probably heard about companies that are pursuing a higher level of customer service by offering same day delivery. While Amazon is the most well-known of these businesses, others are coming up behind them to compete, such as Instacart, Nordstrom, and Walmart. In a 2016 study examining the future of retail, 9% of consumers polled said they have used same-day shipping in the past year. This number is predicted to grow since almost half of these consumers admitted they would use this service more if it was offered more widely. (1)
In order to make same-day delivery a reality and be a competitive force in the industry, businesses need warehouses in strategic locations all over the country.
The Future of Industrial Real Estate
This sector of real estate is witnessing incredible growth. In 2014, demand outpaced supply twofold and supply has not kept up. Since 2008, new construction has not addressed the need for facilities under 250,000 square feet. (2)
Industrial spaces appeal to a wide variety of tenant types, uses, and industries due to their generic and versatile design. Industrial properties offer features such as ceiling height, loading docks and column spacing, which meet the needs of tenants and will continue to do so. Landlords tend to benefit from limited expenses as their tenants typically pay the taxes, insurance, and property maintenance, in addition to their rent. Rent for these spaces continues to rise, with 2016 numbers surpassing the previous high set in 2008 and increased rates forecasted in the future. (3)
