Class B Industrial Storage

Strategy

Luminus Capital’s strategic focus on acquiring Class B Multi-Tenant industrial assets is underpinned by a strong conviction in the continued growth and demand of this asset class while new supply remains constrained. These assets are often ideally located along growing urban corridors to continue serving and providing space to the growing sectors of e-commerce and delivery services. There are significant pressures on new supply, city planners and residents alike do not want more industrial buildings near their homes. This provides a great opportunity to purchase properties at a low basis, execute a value-add business plan by improving properties and leasing for market rents. We believe our industrial strategy will provide an attractive yield to investors while also affording the opportunity for long-term appreciation.

Why Class B Industrial?

By nature class B industrial buildings are ideally located near rooftops and other businesses. This drives demand for both service based and delivery and distribution tenants.
  • Class B industrial is often sought for mixed use redevelopments which are favored by city planners and local residents alike.
  • Replacement and infill land costs limits development of new Class B infill supply.
  • As tenant businesses grow, they tend to need more well positioned Class B space rather than moving upmarket to Class A in the outskirts of town.
  • E-commerce, distribution, ghost kitchens, energy, service providers, logistics, contractors are examples of broad prospective tenants for Class B industrial.
The main components of these buildings are the roof, foundation, and HVAC. These costs can be large, but are predictable. Interior tenant improvements are typically simple and low compared to other asset types.
  • Small deal size flys under the radar of many institutional buyers
  • Unconsolidated ownership affords opportunity for off-market acquisitions and portfolio consolidation.
