Industrial Property Acquisition
Choosing an industrial site is a strategic operations decision, not just a real estate purchase. The right choice lowers logistics cost, supports flow, and leaves room for growth. The wrong choice locks in cost and complexity for years.
Why it matters
Property affects everything that follows. Utilities, floor loading, clear heights, docks, rail, permitting, zoning, environmental history, workforce access, and tax impact all change your throughput and your cost per unit. Teams often ignore hidden costs like power upgrades, stormwater retention, sprinkler density, or truck court geometry. These show up later as delays and spend.
How ECIC helps
-
Define the operating model first. Product mix, takt, labor plan, shift plan, inbound and outbound flows, and space needs now and in three to five years.
-
Screen markets for labor quality, wage levels, and commute patterns using public data and local intel.
-
Shortlist properties and test them against utility capacity, slab specs, dock count, yard space, code requirements, and expansion options.
-
Run true total cost modeling. Building cost, site work, incentives, logistics lanes, and expected phase in costs.
-
Drive diligence and closing. Surveys, environmental reviews, code review meetings, and incentive negotiations.
-
Plan day one layout so the building you pick fits the process you need.
What you gain
-
A site that supports flow, safety, and expansion without expensive retrofits
-
Lower total landed cost by aligning property with supply chain routes
