Sale-leasebacks seem to be growing across different sectors of commercial real estate. We have certainly seen this happen with dental and medical practices but we are also seeing it in industrial and other commercial real estate. It frees up capital for the operating entity to go and invest and expand in the running of the business instead of having it tied up in the real estate.
Richard Blackwell, Vice President of Development, Southeast office for Agracel, Inc. published an excellent post on the value of sale-leasebacks for industrial real estate. I’m publishing his post here because this is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on what industrial owners may want to utlize a sale-leaseback strategy. This strategy does not only need to apply to industrial users. Certainly any owner-operator who is running their business out of a building they also own could look to see if executing a sale-leaseback would benefit their business. Excellent post Richard!
