There is a lot of news out there. We are trying to pick a few of the ariticles that are more relevant to the industries we serve. Today we have articles about the economy (since things are moving very quickly, this can’t help but be a bit dated but still interesting to see progression), the Port of Houston, and a discussion with the Texas Railroad Commissioner about the Texas and World Oil & Gas markets…
The very first and most important thing you must know about leasing or purchasing warehouse or other industrial space is whether or not you can avoid the process altogether! There are many avoidance strategies available, but you also shouldn’t delay just for the sake of delay since that isn’t always the correct strategy. There can be good reasons to wait, and good reasons to move forward. Let’s take a bit of time to cover some of those reasons in more detail…
Locating and acquiring the perfect tract of land to develop can be quite challenging. An experienced developer and its real estate broker can conduct initial due diligence to help avoid costly issues. However, more in-depth inspections and research are necessary before finalizing a purchase. Whether a buyer is planning on developing the site or holding for investment purposes for future resale, the required due diligence remains the same.
Bottom line, you need to determine if you can do what you want to do with the property, what is that process going to cost and how long will it take…
A dock well is commonly used to provide dock-high loading for a grade-level warehouse. This photo illustrates one of the major advantages for dock wells - the ability to have both dock-high loading/unloading and grade level entry to the building. To use 4’ high containers most effectively, you need to somehow bring the building to the height of the loading platform. One way is to raise the building. Another is to excavate for a below grade level dock well for use as the truck driveway. If you asked designers, they’d probably tell you some combination of the two is most common - i.e., raising the building a bit and lowering the truck well a bit - but less than 4’ - below grade.
The dock well has a few disadvantages…

The Texas (and other State’s) Real Estate Commission (TREC) exists to implement the state laws established around the practice of Real Estate. The state decided at some point - I used to know the date - that consumers need to be protected from fraud and ignorance in the most consequential transactions in which some folks will ever be involved. TREC has come a long way in simplifying what it thinks the consumer needs to know…
Many (most?) in the business world have no real need to understand the ins and outs of commercial real estate property types until they want to expand. My goal here is to take you briefly through my experience, converting my business experience into an understanding of the Industrial & Flex market, including warehouses.
Did you know that your relationship with your real estate broker is fairly similar to your relationship with your attorney. To be sure, there are significant differences - but there are also significant similarities. Of course, we all hope not to have (too) much of a relationship with an attorney - at least when it comes around to legal “troubles.” To judge by current trends in the technology industry, many of us feel the same way about real estate brokers. Is it better to be “cagey” about committing to a real estate broker, or is it better to take the plunge and commit to one?…
A good while ago - if interested, you can likely tell how long by the dates of some of the posts - I began this journey of creating a web site for commercial real estate seekers. I hoped to fill the site with as much useful information as I could manage. 4 or 5 other web sites under my belt later and I’m back to reassess and push forward. Finally taking the time to finish off the links to nation-wide Real Estate Commissions (however they are named) seems like a great thing to talk about at least briefly - not to mention an excellent way to tell our users about some of the techniques for finding things…

If you are a prospective or actual buyer or lessee, this is where you can go to learn about what you can and should expect out of the players in your real estate transaction. You can learn about the the agents and brokers involved - whether or not their licenses are active (they MUST be for them to deal with you) - and whether or not they have or have had disciplinary action against them. If you are I would suggest that you browse the site just a bit to make sure you know what is there that might be useful to you. Bon apetit.

12/19/14 Update:
$56.52 per barrel at close of trading today. 3% increase. Now let us do this for a few weeks in a row. Doubtful.
$55.46 per barrel at 8:32 AM today with morning trading up 2% or so. Interesting that the fall of oil pricing has seemed to slow significantly, albeit for 2-3 days. If pricing settles in the mid $50’s per barrel for more than 3-6 months, Houston will be shedding some jobs and businesses. My customers have already indicated they are putting projects on hold until some reasonable forecasting can be developed on pricing. Oddly enough, more commercial development was announced in the energy corridor last week for new a new class A office property for lease.
$60.94 per barrel. That is the price of oil at the time of this post. A month ago oil was trading over $77 a barrel. Where will it stabilize? Only time will tell. What is certain is that Houston faces some real challenges in its industrial real estate market. Warehouses have been leasing and selling at all time highs. Development of bulk distribution is also in full swing. Now the scale back of industry absorbing space and rents will start to suffer. Developers of speculative warehouses for lease or sale are now likely to be sitting on empty buildings for some time with other owners facing tenants who may fold up shop and thereby leaving vacant property. The market was probably due for a correction with new freestanding warehouses trading at $75 to $85 PSF for shells on a purchase and $.75 PSF/month + on rentals. Heavy leveraged owners are the most vulnerable and others with substantial cash reserves may see some opportunities in the market. Businesses looking for space to lease should see some relief in pricing over the next six months.

Warehouse brokerage in Houston, Texas…wow, what a year. 2013 may end up being a record year for many Houston commercial brokers, given the tremendous influx of businesses relocating and/or expanding into the area. However, the high demand results in “slim pickings” for business owners looking to acquire a warehouse for lease or sale. With an approximate vacancy rate of around 4.9% in 2013, the industrial real estate sector has little inventory for potential owners and lessees…
We get many calls from businesses looking for warehouse space in the size ranges where most brokers choose not to work the deal. The fact is that small deals have small commissions and there is not a reliable inventory of available space available…
The overall tone in the Houston commercial real estate market is an optimistic one. Experts are speculating a continued turn-around for this year and beyond. One would assume this is good news for Houstonians- not necessarily. It seems property owners are not the only ones paying attention to real estates “sunny forecast”…
Build, build, build. Consume, consume, consume. Not anymore. Welcome to the new norm of commercial real estate. Over the last two decades, before the oil crash, banks were lending money on a signature and good will. As a result developers, eager to make a fee, put up millions of square feet of bulk distribution space around the country. Now that market is subject to downsizing, reducing, consolidating and liquidating…
When looking at buildings for sale, it is important that the business owner understand the types of commercial property for sale in the market.
Warehouse or Industrial: These are typically for distribution or manufacturing and can be constructed of metal or masonary materials. Crane served manufacturing warehouses are typically metal buildings. Warehouse can be grade level, semi-dock (2′ high) or dock level (4′ high)…
Construction of commercial buildings has decreased approximately 28% across the board for industrial, retail and office properties (as reported by Costar,Inc.). This is especially true for speculative warehouse and office buildings for sale by a developer. For the business owner looking to buy a warehouse building or office for his/her operations, this decrease may drive up pricing on existing buildings and reduce availability…

Buildings for sale in Houston, Austin, Dallas or San Antonio are experiencing a different trend than most other metro areas.

Rate Outlook for Small Business loans to purchase facilities
The current rates for small business have been holding steady over the last several weeks. Noting the pressures facing our global and national economies will put a bit more pressure on the upside in the near term. Banks remain cautiously optimistic toward lending practices with a heavy appetite for A credits and continued reduced demand for weaker credits. Borrowers can typically fix their interest for 5 years without having to pay a huge premium due to the interest uncertainty over the long haul. In summary, the current rate environment remains positive for small business loans to purchasing facilities. By Mike Allen – Allen Capital Funding 832.661.6453
Warehousefinder.NET (WF), a global commercial real estate website, is designating affiliate brokers in most cities. While some major cities/areas are already taken, there are many cities/areas without confirmed, qualified commercial brokers…
Full Service Lease – Generally applicable to multi-tenant office buildings, this lease has one monthly rate and covers all the costs associated with the property including electrical, janitorial, management, property taxes and property insurance. A Full Service lease does generally allow for the landlord to pass along any increases in its expenses to the Tenants each year. This increase is usually calculated by taking the actual expenses for any given year and subtracting the Expense Stop established in the lease.
Triple NNN or Triple Net – A NNN lease is set up to have the Tenant pay a base rental amount each month to the Landlord. In addition to the base rent, the Tenant also pays all other expenses associated with the property such as property taxes, insurance and maintenance. NNN leases differ from true or absolute NNN leases usually only in landlord responsibilities. For example, a True NNN lease usually has no landlord responsibility where a general NNN lease may call for the Landlord to maintain the roof, walls and foundation…or some combination thereof. These leases can be used for all types of commercial properties and almost always apply to single user, leased property.
Industrial Gross Lease – This lease type is common in multi-tenant industrial properties. This warehouse lease type requires the tenant to pay one base monthly rent which covers the property expenses, management and Common Area Maintenance (CAM).

In my 19 years of commercial real estate leasing, both in warehouse and office, I have seen hundreds of lease documents with many arrangements of rent and responsibilities. The basic and most used are as follows…
Qualify Qualify Qualify
As an agent, qualify your commercial real estate clients, as a prospective buyer/tenant, qualify yourself.
Nothing is more frustrating to a commercial broker than driving across town to show a listing only to realize when the buyer/tenant and his agent arrive they realize your listing does not meet the client’s requirements. The agent failed to ask simple questions in beginning to avoid the embarrassment and wasted time…
After the initial review of the seller deliveries and tile commitment a good boundary survey is necessary to confirm recorded easements and sometimes will catch unrecorded easements and encroachments. The property survey is a cost to either the buyer or seller and becomes a negotiable item of the transaction.
The survey should indicate all improvements on the property, utility easements, fire hydrants, fences, curb cuts and much more. Your lender will most likely require a survey in order for them to lend money on the property. A buyer wants be sure he is getting the same amount of dirt which is being represented. A survey is critical.

Based upon the assumptions contained in this analysis, by owning your own building, you would: (1) save $234,177 in payments over the initial five years, (2) pay down $148,594 on the mortgage, (3) lock in your long term occupancy costs, and (4) get $180,426 in value appreciation based on a 3.00% annual appreciation. This represents a total benefit, AFTER deducting your initial 20% down payment, of $336,637 over just the initial five years.

Having seen more than a few contaminated properties, I can tell you first hand…you don’t want to be involved in owning one. The environmental study will look for any documented releases on your property or in the vicinity of contamination, letters of closure from your state agencies, UST’s (underground storage tanks), etc.
Historical aerial photos will show previous uses of the property which may be suspicious. Materials used in the property may prove expensive to re mediate, such as asbestos in floor tiles, insulation and walls.
A buyer should always hire an attorney for the docs and survey review and relative professionals to do specific inspections.
These are some of the most basic items of due diligence. A fully exhaustive list and relative explanation would take many pages. This is one of many reasons why you need to utilize an experienced commercial real estate broker when purchasing or leasing office or industrial property.

Steel building companies advertise extensively and will throw out low pricing of the steel package for a building of say $10 or $15 PSF. This number sticks in the mind of the business owner and he thinks then that with the build out and the few extras, he can get in a new building for say $30 or $35 PSF. Experienced developers building very large, basic warehouses are hard pressed to get to those numbers. Why does it cost so much?…
The following are a few of about 40 checklist items we typically cover in our due diligence when assisting clients:
