Published by NTrust's REmaap Blog
Industrial tenants aren’t all that different than other commercial tenants, except that they require a larger footprint on the outskirts of town. Their needs and desires are pretty similar to those of any commercial tenants. They desire comfort and convenience. These are five industrial real estate amenities today’s tenants need and want.
Walking Trails
It’s easier to unwind when you can take a brisk walk around the campus and listen to the birds singing cheerfully in the trees. The stress from the early morning management meeting fades away as you feel the sun on your skin and the cool breeze in your hair. Walking is not only good exercise; it’s a great way to decompress. So, today’s industrial tenants love having the option to enjoy good walking trails.
Plenty of Parking
Just like every other commercial tenant, plenty of parking is essential. That may sound like a no-brainer for industrial spaces, but it’s critical to anticipate the parking needs of your industrial tenant. How far away are the parking spaces from entry doors? Is there adequate lighting in the parking lot and enough room to maneuver around each other? Also, it’s wise to have some plug-stations for electric vehicles.
Outdoor Spaces
Industrial tenants enjoy the ability to escape the noise of the plant and eat lunch outside on a picnic table, or relax on a bench and feed the pigeons. Peaceful outdoor spaces, where tenants can chill-out and refresh is essential. If you’re building doesn’t offer outdoor areas for relaxation, tenants might look for an industrial site that does.
Water Features
Who doesn’t enjoy sitting next to a waterfall and listening to the sound of the pristine water as it flows over the rocks? The tranquility of a water feature can lower your blood pressure and put you in a better state of mind. Along with picnic tables and walking trails, industrial tenants appreciate water features where they can sit and relax. Fountains, waterfalls, streams, and ponds are a great way to encourage your industrial tenants to find a little balance in their day and take time to relax a bit in between meetings and deadlines.
Convenience Stores
Close approximately to a market or convenience store is also an essential amenity for industrial tenants. Whether it’s deodorant, a tasty snack, or a half gallon of milk to take back to the family, the convenience of a market near the industrial park is a big deal for today’s workforce. Being able to fill up the gas tank is an added bonus.
Staying competitive is critical in commercial real estate. Today’s industrial space is not just for large factories or manufacturing plants. Demographics are changing, and smart landlords and developers are doing whatever is necessary to meet the changing demands of the shifting workforce. These five amenities are part of the trend of what tenants want and expect in industrial real estate.
