Built for Your Business. Positioned for Your Investment.
From securing a warehouse for your business to acquiring an income-producing industrial asset, One West Group helps buyers and sellers evaluate the property, understand its capabilities, and execute the right strategy.
The Right Property Has to Work on Every Level.
Industrial real estate connects business operations with long-term ownership decisions. Location, loading, clear height, power, yard space, and access can determine whether a building supports a business—and how it competes as an investment.
We advise owners, investors, and business operators across a range of industrial and warehouse properties. Whether you’re selling, purchasing a facility, expanding operations, or building a portfolio, we evaluate the physical asset alongside its financial and operational requirements.
For an owner-user, the right building must support the business without creating avoidable operational constraints. For an investor, it must be evaluated through income, lease structure, tenant demand, and future capital requirements.
One West Group brings these perspectives together. We help clients understand how the property functions today, where limitations may exist, and how those factors influence pricing, negotiations, and the ownership strategy.
Industrial Expertise for Investors and Business Owners.
A property strategy grounded in how the building functions, how it performs, and what you want to accomplish.
Industrial Investment Sales
Position your property around its income, tenancy, location, and functional characteristics. We develop the pricing and marketing strategy, identify prospective buyers, evaluate offers, and manage negotiations through due diligence and closing.
Owner-User Acquisitions & Dispositions
Align ownership with the needs of the business. We help clients evaluate space, loading, power, access, occupancy timing, and expansion requirements—and position owner-user properties for sale.
Investment Acquisition Advisory
Evaluate leased industrial properties based on operating income, lease terms, tenant concentration, market rents, capital requirements, and future leasing potential. We help buyers assess the assumptions behind the investment.
Property Valuation & Strategy
Understand your building’s market position through comparable sales, competing inventory, lease economics, and physical functionality. Our broker’s opinion of value provides a practical basis for evaluating a sale, acquisition, or portfolio decision.
Expansion, Relocation & Facility Planning
Translate business requirements into acquisition criteria. We help identify properties that support storage, production, distribution, office needs, and future growth, while coordinating the purchase timeline with your operational priorities.
Value-Add & Repositioning Analysis
Assess opportunities involving vacancy, below-market rents, deferred maintenance, or functional improvements. We help evaluate potential upside alongside capital costs, leasing expenses, approvals, and execution risks.
Portfolio Acquisitions & Dispositions
Evaluate individual assets within a broader ownership strategy. We help clients compare property performance, geographic exposure, lease rollover, and capital needs when acquiring, consolidating, or selling industrial holdings.
1031 Exchange Coordination
Align the sale of an investment property with a replacement-property search. We coordinate with your qualified intermediary, lender, and tax and legal advisors to support your objectives and transaction timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with business owners purchasing their own warehouses?
Yes. We help business owners identify and evaluate properties based on space requirements, loading, power, access, parking, occupancy timing, and acquisition costs. We also help identify property and use questions that need to be resolved during due diligence.
How do you determine the value of an industrial property?
We consider location, building and lot size, functionality, condition, occupancy, comparable sales, and competing properties. For leased investments, we also review operating income, lease terms, tenant responsibilities, and the relationship between contractual rent and market rent.
What is the difference between an owner-user property and an investment property?
An owner-user purchases a property primarily to occupy it for business operations. An investor generally purchases for rental income and investment performance. Some properties can accommodate both objectives, depending on occupancy, lease commitments, layout, and financing requirements.
What should I prepare before selling an industrial building?
Useful documents include available floor plans, building specifications, property expenses, improvement records, and any existing inspection or environmental reports. For leased properties, provide the rent roll, leases, amendments, and operating statements. We help identify additional information needed to position the property.
Can you help sell a vacant industrial building?
Yes. We evaluate its suitability for owner-users, investors, and buyers considering improvements or repositioning. Building functionality, condition, occupancy readiness, and local demand help determine the marketing and pricing approach.
How do I know whether a property will accommodate my business?
We begin with your operational requirements and compare them with the property’s features. Intended use, zoning, power availability, fire protection, loading, and other critical requirements should be confirmed with the appropriate authorities, utility providers, and qualified professionals before completing the purchase.
Do you advise on multi-tenant industrial properties and larger assets?
Yes. We evaluate tenancy, lease rollover, operating performance, capital needs, and the functionality of individual spaces and the overall site. The strategy is tailored to the asset and the buyer or seller’s objectives.
Can outdoor storage or yard space be used for any industrial activity?
Not necessarily. Permitted activities depend on zoning, approvals, lease provisions, site conditions, and other restrictions. The existence of an open yard does not establish that a particular storage or business use is allowed.
What should investors review beyond the cap rate?
Review lease duration, tenant concentration, rent adjustments, expense obligations, maintenance responsibilities, and potential capital costs. Also consider whether the building remains competitive for future tenants and what improvements or downtime could be required if space becomes vacant.
Can you help with an industrial property purchase as part of a 1031 exchange?
Yes. We help source and evaluate replacement-property opportunities and coordinate with your qualified intermediary and professional advisors. Your tax and legal advisors confirm eligibility, structure, and exchange requirements.
