If a building works for an owner user, the investor doesn't stand a chance.

I sat down with Tom O'Loughlin and Michael Oretsky to talk about what's really happening in the owner-user vs. investor market right now — and the numbers are wild. Users are paying 30-60% more than investors for the right building, sometimes more.

Once pricing guidance goes out, investors evaporate and owner users walk right in.

We also got into how these deals are getting funded (roughly a 50/50 split between cash and conventional/SBA financing), why IOS product is nearly impossible to find on the open market — most of it trades off-market before it ever gets listed — and why big corporations still overwhelmingly prefer to lease over own.

Bottom line: the owner-user market is its own animal right now, and if you're not paying attention to it, you're missing where a lot of the real activity is happening.

South Florida industrial: Q2 numbers are catching up to reality. 

Dade's absorption hit ~850K SF, Broward construction is down to historic lows (1.2M SF), and big deals signed late in the quarter haven't even hit the stats yet. 

The kicker: demand for power, HVAC, and office buildout is now driving deals more than price. Recovery's underway — rent growth may not be far behind.

Royce Rose shared an interesting perspective on how institutional investors are looking at small bay warehouses in Florda.

He’s seeing buyers underwrite roughly 4% annual rent growth, while high land and construction costs continue to make new small bay supply difficult to build.

He also broke down what really matters when evaluating buyers beyond price: capitalization, track record, financing, and certainty of close.

What about you? What are your thoughts on small bay warehouses?

New episode of the South Florida Industrial Real Estate podcast is up 🎙️

This one was packed. Sat down with Royce Rose from National Partners to break down the industrial capital markets across the entire state — South Florida vs. Central Florida vs. Jacksonville, cap rate spreads, and why Florida's volume held up so much better than the rest of the country since the 2021 peak.

We also got into land values (up 3x in a decade), the institutionalization of IOS and small bay product, and where exit cap rates are landing on new Class A construction.

If you're active in industrial real estate, this is a must-watch. Comment, like, and let us know what you think!

I sat down with Tom and Mike to pull back the curtain on what’s really moving the South Florida industrial market right now, from tenants shopping renewals a year (or two) out, to commencement timelines stretching from weeks to months, to TI allowances quietly morphing into rent credit piggy banks. 

We get into why landlords are fighting tooth and nail to keep tenants in their seats, why escalation rates above 3% are becoming a real sticking point on bigger deals, and why permitting delays are the silent budget-buster nobody underwrote for. 

You always hear people talk about deals, well, this time, you get to watch the sausage actually get made 🌭
