Start by evaluating whether the property supports your operational and financial objectives. Property location and accessibility to major highways, ports, railways, and airports may also be a consideration. You will need to know how the property is zoned and if that is correct for your industry or if other zoning/permitting is required. Once you determine if the location works for your business, the building(s) will need to be examined. Make sure that it is structurally sound. Is there room for expansion if you may need it? Does the layout work for the operation of your business? You will want to look at things like ceiling clear height, the number of loading docks and drive-in doors, electrical capacity, parking and truck-court space. Will there be renovations before the building is ready for occupancy? Each property has its own list of considerations. Using a professional commercial real estate broker to help navigate these considerations is very helpful in this process.
