Key factors driving the sector's stability include a diverse tenant base, flexible lease structures, solid supply-demand fundamentals, and inflation protection.

Join us in welcoming The Roadies Brewing Co. to their new space at Lionshead Landing in Vista, CA. The Roadies Brewing Co. is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Diane and Sean Hilz. Inside the brewery, you'll find a unique music-themed interior including guitars and stage setups, as well as a diverse lineup of beers, from lagers and IPAs to red ales and stouts. The brewery's name and theme is inspired by the Hilz's involvement in their daughter's high school color guard, where they and other parents acted as "Roadies" to support performances. Sean Hilz, Co-founder & COO, shed some light on their decision to lease this specific industrial space: "One of the biggest draws to this space was the fact that it was already an existing brewery." He also adds, "Having an ownership that knew it was already a brewery and welcomed us in made everything so much easier to come and choose this location." Thank you, Diane and Sean, for joining our community!

The resilience of multi-tenant light industrial properties has proven to be a critical factor in recent market performance, particularly in today’s unpredictable economic environment. One key factor contributing to the resilience of light industrial properties is their strategic location. Once situated on city outskirts, many of these properties are now in prime urban centers, playing a crucial role in modern supply chains. The “Multiplier Effect” from large distribution centers is now transforming secondary markets, spurring job creation and population growth. Additionally, the short-term lease structures found in light industrial assets (with BKM's WALT averaging just 2.4 years) provide the flexibility to frequently adjust rents, offering a natural hedge against inflation. This feature makes multi-tenant light industrial assets a more attractive investment compared to bulk properties with longer lease terms. With over a decade of experience in this sector, BKM’s expertise demonstrates that diversification, location, and flexibility are key drivers of long-term growth. Even as economic uncertainties persist, multi-tenant light industrial remains an essential component of any resilient real estate portfolio.
