When an industrial company is on the lookout to rent space for its facilities and warehouses, its two core concerns are likely to be proximity to clients and subcontractors, whether physical or by means of fast access to transportation links, and a comfortable environment for staff.

From real estate perspective, this means good location and proper matching of company size with available lettable industrial space.

Market Research & Advisory

Forton is ready to assist you in your search from beginning to end. If you have little idea what the supply of available space and the going rental rates in industrial space are, then your eye-opener could be a Market Research. It will inform you about existing and new industrial space developments, current rent levels, take up and future market trends.

And, then, if your business undergoes change and your existing industrial and warehouse estates no longer fit your size, then you could order an Occupier Strategy analysis. It 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 clean and clear with available vacancies, current rent levels and your specific requirements as at present, you are ready to make an informed choice. We, at the Industrial/Logistics Space Department, can compile a list of options to accommodate your business in what is called an Availability Report. We will invite you to pick the ones that suit you best and give us the go-ahead with negotiations with your potential landlords. We will again contact you when talks produce final offers for you to choose the best.

If you, as a tenant, are happy with your existing facilities but feel that rents can be optimized, then you could hire us for Rent Renegotiation. In this process, we will again prepare an Availability Report and then approach your current and prospective landlords. Depending on the outcome of negotiations, we can recommend you to stay in your existing premises or move. read more...
