Institutional industrial capital is paying up for pre-leased, modern, big-box product — engineering vacancy risk out of the deal before close.

In a market where overall industrial supply is finally tightening, BLP didn’t chase a value-add lease-up — it bought certainty. A 2024-built box, full to 2028, with infrastructure-grade specs (clear height, dock ratio, truck-court depth) is the cleanest cash-flow profile in the sector. That’s the trade institutions want when rates are high and the cost of being wrong on lease-up is punishing.

The premium for “Class A, pre-leased, infrastructure-grade” keeps widening over commodity warehouse. Functional obsolescence — low clear heights, shallow courts, thin power — is the real risk line in industrial underwriting now, not headline vacancy.
