The approximately 356,300-square-foot park will feature structures ranging in size from roughly 26,000 square feet to 138,000 square feet and will offer parking to accommodate more than 500 vehicles.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/industrial-capital-to-remain-abundant-qa-with-cbre\/\">Industrial Capital to Remain Abundant: Q&amp;A With CBRE<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>On the other side of the country, a 105,000-square-foot office building in New Jersey traded in late 2021 to an unidentified team of &#8220;seasoned investors&#8221; that are planning a conversion. The property, located on 24 acres at 1001 S. Grand Ave. in Hammonton, was originally developed in 1980 as a light manufacturing and industrial complex. Under the direction of its new owners, it will be converted back to an industrial facility. Simi Valley, part of the North Los Angeles market, had an overall vacancy rate of 1 percent at the end of 2021, and Southern New Jersey&#8217;s vacancy rate was just 0.5 percent, according to research from Cushman &amp; Wakefield.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Easier said than done<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Transforming an office property into an industrial facility is much more than a cosmetic makeover, so selecting an office asset for conversion involves a long list of considerations. More often than not, office-to-industrial conversions are office-to-industrial redevelopments. In other words, these projects usually call for demolitions. However, one of the biggest challenges involved in the pursuit of office-to-industrial conversions can involve regulatory resistance, starting with obtaining rezoning permission. &#8220;It isn\u2019t easy to get a property rezoned, so underlying industrial use zoning is key,&#8221; Schultz said.<\/p>\n<p>And then there is the implied loss of white-collar jobs with the replacement of an office property with an industrial asset, as noted in the Prologis report. However, there is some misconception on this point. &#8220;The supply chain industry has become a very sophisticated operation and there are plenty of exciting, well-paying careers that start in a warehouse,&#8221; added Schultz. &#8220;An example is the prevalence of engineers hired into the industrial and logistics industries that work on warehouse automation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While proximity to an ample labor pool is of just as high consideration to industrial occupants as it is to office occupants, proximity to transportation infrastructure is a much higher priority for industrial tenants, as noted in the Prologis report.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The one thing that I would say, which is true of both retail-to-logistics conversions and office-to-industrial conversions is they require a really deep knowledge of that particular asset and the market and submarket that it&#8217;s in,&#8221; Tolliver said. &#8220;These are very specific based upon the local nuances in the market, so really having a deep knowledge of the particular asset becomes much more important to mitigate risk and to identify the upside long-term potential than what the covered land play would offer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Localized trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>New office-to-industrial conversion projects will continue to pop up in certain high-demand markets for the foreseeable future, but there&#8217;s no danger of office corridors tumbling to the logistics sector in waves across the country. There are only a few markets in the U.S. that have both the fundamentals and the supply and demand balance to turn such projects into a meaningful investment play, according to Tolliver.<\/p>\n<p>Prologis concurs; the trend has limited viability. \u201cOur analysis has found that the trend of converting office properties into logistics facilities will be minimal, given physical, regulatory and economic challenges. This points to how creative developers must be in sourcing industrial land since it\u2019s getting harder to find, especially where it\u2019s most needed,\u201d Melinda McLaughlin, global head of research with Prologis, told <em>CPE<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the fundamentals and demand called for office-to-industrial conversions in every market across the U.S., space would not allow for it. Logistics properties typically require a minimum of 8 acres and only 27,000 office buildings, the equivalent of 1.2 billion square feet in ground floor real estate, meet the requirements, as Prologis notes in its report.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/industrial-lease-trends-to-consider-in-2022\/\">Industrial Lease Trends to Consider in 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Even in markets where office-to-industrial conversions are feasible, if not warranted, conversion projects may face yet another obstacle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t etch the death of the office on the tombstone just quite yet,&#8221; Tolliver said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fundamentals continue to improve quarter over quarter and month over month. The office plays an indispensable role for companies and corporations in creating a culture. That doesn&#8217;t mean you have to be there five days a week for eight hours a day, but you have to have a place where people can congregate to share ideas, to develop a sense of what it is and who it is that they are as an organization and that remains mission-critical for companies of all sizes. So, I think what we&#8217;re seeing is a greater flexibility in the use of office and all of the different types of workplace experiences that flow from that. But I do not anticipate, nor am I seeing this wholesale \u2018We&#8217;re never going to go to the office again; we don&#8217;t need this space,\u2019&#8221; Tolliver concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry experts weigh in on the scope and feasibility of these projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004573108,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21808,21748,23891,21742,21747],"tags":[32799,33010,48587,32956,33358],"class_list":["post-1004573075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-featured","category-industrial","category-national","category-latest","category-office","tag-cushman-wakefield","tag-duke-realty-corporation","tag-melinda-mclaughlin","tag-prologis","tag-stream-realty-partners"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Office-to-Logistics Conversions Are Challenging.
