1/ Understanding the core (the biggest) issues in a business, partnership, or any relationship is not easy bc often we think of the immediate problem as the core issue when in reality it’s a fraction of the core issue. Learning how to identify core issues takes time and
2/ experience.. Experience in the short term can be painful, but in the long term is the key to survival - you have to have felt the pain to know how to avoid or fix it. Soooo....in order to be able to identify core issues and move on, like the greats can, prepare for some
3/ pain along the way. Like my No Fear T-shirt I had as a kid said “Pain is weakness leaving the body.” On a completely separate note, bring back #NoFear gear! That shit was the best!

Cities hate industrial

Supply of Class B industrial is shrinking every year

Meanwhile, growth of Class A is slowing dramatically

And now it’s getting much harder to build new industrial buildings in urban cores across the US

What comes next for industrial?

A few thoughts:
Everyone needs their Amazon packages delivered within a few hours, but nobody wants a Class A industrial warehouse in their neighborhood.

Everyone needs an emergency HVAC repair tech to come immediately, but no one wants a Class B Industrial building down the road from them.
Whether you’re talking Class A or B, new development is slowing down.

Construction is slowing dramatically.

But demand remains strong from tenants.

This dynamic is played out in every single major American city.

Take Dallas, for example:

Where is all the class B industrial going?

These two pictures sum up our bull thesis for Dallas and several other markets

Let me explain:

Every single major city in the United States is supply constrained when it comes to Class B Industrial

The supply is shrinking each year as tenant demand continues to grow

Dallas is a prime example
When cities like Dallas grew quickly in the 50s and 60s, you had the downtown office core and industrial just outside the core of the city

Factories and warehouses filled the perimeter of Dallas to make products and ship them out. Image

There's a problem in the real estate market:

Rising property insurance rates.

Here’s what I’m seeing & how our team is thinking about the problem:
Earlier this year, State Farm announced it would stop writing new homeowner insurance policies in California

This came as a shock to many, but this has actually been years in the making Image
While rising homeowners insurance rates are national news this year, commercial real estate folks have been seeing this trend for years

Here’s a story from late 2020: Image

Here's why I'm incredibly bullish on Class B Industrial real estate: Image
Every single major city in the United States is supply constrained when it comes to Class B Industrial

And the supply is shrinking each year as tenant demand continues to grow
In Texas, we estimate a decline of 1-2% per year.

For example, this is a popular area of Fort Worth called W 7th.

Fort has been all-in on acquiring Class B Industrial (CBI) since 2016.

Here's why in no particular order:
1. By nature of the era (70's - 90's) it was built, it is infill and surrounded by mature infrastructure. Transportation systems, major arteries, homes, commercial, hospitals, universities, etc.

One can’t over estimate the value of mature infrastructure surrounding a property.
2. Companies continue to optimize for being close to their customer so they can serve or deliver product faster.

Billions are invested annually to optimize the entire supply chain. As landlords, we benefit from these ever increasing efficiencies.

That is why #1 is important.
