Study Notes

Industrial Properties

Industrial users often choose locations near raw materials, fuel/power, and marketplaces.
Incubator buildings attract tenants seeking to expand, often on longer-term leases.
Anchor tenants in shopping centers attract larger customer bases and often obtain favorable lease terms.
Investors consider the demand for services when looking at office buildings, not just products.
Demand for industrial space is a derived demand, linked to products produced. Changes in demand for industrial space are less volatile than changes in demand for industrial products.
Custom industrial buildings are often tailored to specific needs, not general purposes.
Industrial buildings are attractive to investors because tenants are usually creditworthy and on long-term leases.
Operating expenses are primarily the tenant's responsibility.

Office Buildings

Investor-owned office buildings often reflect a desired tenant image with higher luxury and aesthetics, but usually have operating cost provisions.
Office leases for multiple-tenant buildings frequently include operating expense and tax stops (limits to expenses covered by the landlord), and often allow for rent increases.

Other Properties

Loft buildings are multistory structures, that can have various uses and are often near city centers. (While initially designed for manufacturing, they can be adapted to different uses.)
