This article attempts to answer the question “Can I achieve dock-high loading/unloading using a grade-level building?” The fundamental problem addressed by warehouse loading areas - or docks in this article - is how facility team members get materials from the shipping surface of trucks, trains, etc., onto the facility floor for further handling…
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. In many healthy markets like Houston, Dallas and Atlanta there is still a glut of distribution space for lease, despite the relative thriving commercial market. In other large cities, a tenant can almost name its price on bulk space for lease.
Our current slow to very slow trot to recovery is not enough to push lenders off their pedestals. Hopefully when things do begin to pick up pace, the shortage of new product as a result of stringent lending practices will force rental rates to new highs.
No Longer Available. This week’s pick is an older metal warehouse building for sale in near East Houston. The property is a bit short on land and the warehouse clear heights are below most requirements. However, this property is centerally located, has dock high loading and has a fire protection sprinkler system. The best part is that the price on this 62,814 SF building has been reduced from $1.25mm to $700k. The warehouse sits on 1.6 acres and has 5 dock high loading doors and 2 grade level doors.
If you need a 50,000 or 60,000 SF warehouse then this may be worth considering. The building is listed with Collier’s.
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 masonry materials. Crane served manufacturing warehouses are typically metal buildings. Warehouse can be grade level, semi-dock (2’ high) or dock level (4’ high).
Flex Buildings: Flex space is a hybrid of office and light industrial warehouse/tech space. This property type caters to laboratories, computer and technical companies and instrument or data-logging industries.
Office Property: Self explanatory except that single story business parks often provide very nice office space for less rent than the typical multi-story office building.
Retail: Again, self explanatory. Retail options come in many shapes and sizes. The latest trend is lifestyle center with outdoor walkways and park settings versus the old Mall style projects.
These are a few very basic types of property to consider when looking at buildings for sale.

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. I have clients tell me quite often that in this economy there must be a glut of buildings for sale. While that may be accurate in areas of the country with higher than average unemployment and/or a shrinking population, it is quite the opposite in booming cities like Houston, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Provo and Phoenix.
While a shortage of funds from lenders for speculative development is a nationwide issue, availability of buildings for sale fluctuates dramatically from city to city. Lender rules for loan approval do not take into account the feasibility of project based on an individual city’s needs and inventory. A bad economy by default forces a migration of people to other, more prosperous areas of the country looking for jobs. This drives up demand in those areas and changes the commercial real estate picture. Tie this surge in demand to a national policy of restrictive lending and you have a shortage of quality buildings for sale.
So, the volume of buildings for sale becomes a relative term and may not correspond to the nationwide economy, especially in a city like Houston, Texas.

Buildings for sale in Houston, Austin, Dallas or San Antonio are experiencing a different trend than most other metro areas. With population growth over the last 5 years almost doubling most other US cities, these Texas towns are growing a record paces. Low cost of living and higher than normal job opportunities are attracting people from all over the US.
The result of this influx of new business activity is a shortage of quality commercial buildings for sale. Each city mentioned has its specialty of types of commercial property. Houston has many types of buildings for sale, however manufacturing and hybrid industrial seem to be prevalent. Dallas is the king of distribution warehouses for sale and Austin is the leader of tech and specialty space. These specialties of available buildings for sale bring businesses looking to relocate and expand in Texas.
Not all prospective buyers need a space for their business. Many investors flock to these Texas cities looking for quality investment properties to buy.

If you are considering renting, leasing or purchasing a warehouse facility and would like to get off to the best start possible, I advise taking ample time to define your needs in a facility. Here are some specific criteria to consider…
Centermark Commercial Real Estate has just listed For Lease approximately 4,000 SF of office warehouse on 1.2 acres located at 6006 Ardmore in South Houston. The warehouse has two grade level overhead doors, 16’ clear and the owner will stabilize the land for a qualified tenant.
Houston is seeing a surge in leasing and sales of quality industrial freestanding properties with excess yard or land. We have seen an increased demand for buildings with fenced and surfaced yard area to facilitate heavy equipment and tractor trailer storage. Slowly those warehouse properties have been leased or sold and most of the existing product is burdened with some incurable physical obsolescence (i.e. low ceilings in the warehouse, limited yard area and/or truck courts).
Also, numerous requirements for 28’ + clear warehouses have been floating around with no existing buildings around to fill the need. If you require a freestanding building with extra land AND high clear heights…Good luck, get ready to build new.
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

Warehouse leasing in Houston has really picked up steam since the first of the year. Businesses which are looking for warehouse for lease need to be proactive and start early in the search. That being said, there are still functional, well located properties available to rent.
My pick this week are the crane served buildings at 7202, 7210 and 7218 Clinton Drive. Located near the Port of Houston and Houston Ship Channel, each suite is 20,000 SF total with office spaces ranging from approximately 1,500 to 4,000 SF. Buildings features include:
At an asking rate of $.32 PSF/month NNN, these buildings represent an outstanding value in today’s market. For more information on this property contact Andrew Sowell at Boyd Commercial (713) 877-1019.
Not just in Houston either. Since Warehousefinder.net is a national search service, we receive calls and emails from all over the US and overseas. The new year has brought a new found vigor in inquiries from decision makers looking to move, expand and/or relocate their warehouse, manufacturing or distribution operations. Make no mistake, this is not the same market as 2005/6…however after the last 24 months, any sign of improvement is encouraging. The trend for the last three weeks continues to scale upwards, albeit at a slow rate. Our guess is that the extension of federal tax incentives pushed many companies over the fence on facility planning decisions. Look for our report soon on which parts of the U.S. have the most industrial leasing activity.
