When a logistics company is looking for space to expand its facilities & warehouses, two common requirements are:

1) Close proximity to clients and subcontractors (whether physical or by means of fast access to transportation links), and

2) A good work environment for staff.

From a real estate perspective, this involves finding the right strategic location and then matching the company’s needs and preferences with the industrial space available on the market.

Market Research & Advisory

Forton can assist you in your search from the very beginning. If you need more information on the type and supply of available industrial space and the going market rents, then our Market Research can add value to your decisions. It will also inform you of future market trends in this sector.

If your business undergoes change and your existing industrial and warehouse premises no longer fit your size, then you could request an Occupier Strategy analysis. This will examine the potential for space consolidation, the impact of each option on your budget and the opportunity cost you will forgo by preferring one alternative to another. read more...

Industrial & Logistic Space

Now that you are up-to-speed with the available properties on the market & current rents, and are clear on your specific requirements, you are ready to make an informed decision. Forton’s Industrial/Logistics Team can prepare a list of options for your business in an Availability Report. The next step is for you to select the premises that suit you best and give us the go-ahead to begin negotiations with your potential landlords. We will stay in regular contact with you as the talks lead to final offers from the landlords.

If you are an existing tenant and are happy with your premises but feel that the rent can be ‘economized’ (ie. lower), then you could hire us for a Rent Renegotiation. In this process we can prepare an Availability Report and then approach your current landlord and other new prospective landlords. Depending on the outcome of the negotiations and an assessment of the potential savings, we then provide options for you to either renegotiate and stay, or relocate. read more...
