INDUSTRIAL & WAREHOUSE FINANCING

Financing for Industrial and Warehouse Properties.

Industrial and warehouse properties can support a wide range of users and investment strategies. Underwriting often turns on tenancy, building functionality, location, cash flow and how easily the space can serve another user.

Where This Financing Can Fit

Industrial financing may apply to warehouses, distribution buildings, flex properties, light manufacturing and owner-occupied facilities.

Building functionality, tenant use, clear height, loading, power, location and lease structure can materially affect lender appetite.

What We Evaluate

Tenant or owner occupancy

Lease terms and rollover

Building size and functionality

Property income and expenses

Purchase price or value

Borrower experience, liquidity and plan

The Structure Depends on the Deal

Industrial & Warehouse transactions can range from stabilized conventional requests to situations involving vacancy, renovation, business occupancy or a changing income profile.

Questions That Often Matter on a Industrial & Warehouse Deal

Does vacancy prevent industrial financing?
Not necessarily. The effect depends on remaining cash flow, marketability and the plan for the vacant space.

Does the type of industrial use matter?
Yes. Specialized improvements or uses can affect marketability and lender appetite.

Can owner-occupied industrial property be financed?
Potentially. Business cash flow, occupancy and property characteristics all matter.
