Frequently Asked Questions

Warehouse focuses on storage and distribution — the primary function is moving and storing goods. Industrial includes manufacturing, production, and heavy processing with specialized infrastructure. Warehouses are generally easier to re-tenant and finance because they have more universal utility.
Cold storage commands higher rents ($12–20/sf vs $6–10 for dry warehouse) which supports stronger DSCR. However, the specialized infrastructure creates higher replacement cost and limited alternative use. Some lenders offer specific cold storage programs. Expect slightly higher rates (0.25–0.50%) due to the specialized nature.
