Industrial Insights - January 2025
Turnkey The New Year
The newsletter emphasizes providing comprehensive "turnkey" services for industrial property leasing and buying, where a single entity manages the entire project from design through completion, delivering "a fully operation, move in ready property upon project delivery."
Start The Year Informed
The piece recommends reviewing critical documents and arrangements at the outset, including lease contracts, expiration dates, CAM reconciliation bills, and property conditions to ensure alignment with contractual obligations and first-quarter priorities.
Start the Year Connected
The author highlights their firm's extensive network across operations, finance, real estate development, construction, warehouse automation, fire suppression, and supply chain analysis—positioning themselves as connectors who can "speed up or elevate your performance this year."
Start the Year with a Plan
The advice centers on establishing realistic timelines early to prevent delays caused by underestimated project schedules, emphasizing how proper planning saves "time, energy and frustration."
Start with Warehouse Innovation & Design
The newsletter discusses warehouse automation maturity, noting that while many operations use sensors and narrow aisles, fewer have explored robots-as-a-service, autonomous mobile robots, automated storage and retrieval systems, and high-density automated storage like AutoStore. The recommendation encourages phased implementation with flexibility and cost-conscious capital decisions.
