What drives the value of a logistics asset
Location & connectivity
Corridors, ports, labour pools, last mile.
Tenant covenant
Strength of the signature and firm lease term.
Technical specifications
Clear height, docks, floor load, sprinklers.
Energy
EPC/PEB, panels, electrification, now a pricing factor.
Alternative use
Conversion potential protects residual value.
The owner's decisions
Sell a let asset to an investor; arbitrate an operating site (sale & leaseback to consider); value before deciding; prepare leases, compliance and technical documentation, institutional buyers set a high bar.
Off-market and confidentiality
Suppliers, customers and competitors read the signals: a logistics site publicly for sale raises questions. Direct approaches to qualified investors avoid market noise.
FAQ
What determines the value of a warehouse?
The trio of location, lease and technical specifications, adjusted for condition, energy and alternative-use potential.
My company occupies the site: can I still arbitrate it?
Yes, a sale & leaseback turns the real estate into capital while keeping the use. The structure is designed with the corporate strategy.
Are institutional buyers accessible for a single asset?
Depending on size and quality, yes. Below certain thresholds, the relevant universe is rather private investors and family offices.
Does the energy certificate really matter for a warehouse?
Increasingly: energy performance weighs on future rents, expected CAPEX and institutional appetite.
Which documents prepare the sale?
Leases and tenancy schedules, plans, environmental and planning permits, technical reports, energy data, the standard data room of a professional buyer.
