Industrial REIT developing and owning multi-tenant distribution/warehouse buildings in Sunbelt states.
Industrial REIT developing and owning multi-tenant distribution/warehouse buildings in Sunbelt states.
Collects rent from many small and mid-sized tenants in multi-tenant buildings, which spreads risk, and leases are mostly a few years with scheduled increases, so rents reset to market fairly often. It builds new buildings on land it already owns or buys and keeps them, funding growth largely by developing rather than buying.
Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Infill Sunbelt locations near population centers are hard to replicate; still a commoditized leasing business.
