Officially just submitted for two grants inside of the development district where I purchased my last warehouse project The city is willing to cover 50% of the renovation cost for my proposed upgrades (up to $10k), as well as up to $3000 additional for a separate lighting grant which I’ll be taking advantage of to improve curb appeal and overall have a better product to offer future tenants I’ve attached a few pictures below of the current building and mock ups I generated to submit with my proposals. Love to hear your thoughts on if you’ve ever taken advantage of something like this on a project

Does anyone have a leasing application to share? What is the criteria you look for specific to Small Bay Industrial? Thanks in advance?

YOU WANT OPPORTUNITY? CREATE IT. You do not always need money to make money. Sometimes you need the right circumstances. An underused property. An existing customer base. A tired owner. A business that lost focus. Infrastructure that already exists. A long-term lease. Seller financing. An operator willing to do the work. That is opportunity. The mistake is thinking opportunity has to arrive fully formed. It usually doesn't. You create it. Find stranded pieces of economic value. Control them. Organize them into a business. Create revenue. Create EBITDA. Create a measurable path to profitability. Then bring in capital to compound what already exists. You do not necessarily have to be profitable on Day One. You need to show that the business is real, the revenue is real, the problems are identifiable, and there is a credible path from where you are today to where you are going. Money can accelerate a business. But money does not have to create the business. That is the difference. At THE YARDS, we believe opportunity is something you build. You want opportunity? Create it. THE YARDS can show you how.

This is a huge debate on our development projects. PEMB vs Tilt vs Wood Frame construction. Which do you prefer and why?

We have a client who uses Starlink for project internet and security. Tenants can use it and HD security camera footage is stored in the cloud. Anyone else?
