During the past three years, IOS has been growing dramatically and increasingly attracting the attention of\u2014and significant outlays\u2014from institutional investors and private equity firms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot of institutional capital chasing deals right now in the IOS space and it\u2019s happened very quickly. I have two or three new groups calling me every week that I previously didn\u2019t know about,\u201d Zach Harris, a director at <strong>Stan Johnson Co<\/strong>. based in Tulsa, Okla., told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. \u201cThey\u2019ve got committed capital and they\u2019re ready to spend it. There\u2019s definitely a rush to acquire product as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The demand for industrial storage space increased during the pandemic as e-commerce exploded and continues to be a significant part of the supply chain as more businesses seek locations for last-mile delivery and also want to be near ports and major industrial corridors. This hot commercial property type is mainly used for truck terminals, trailer storage, container storage, pallet storage and construction or heavy equipment yards. Trucking and truck parking are the heaviest users, particularly by third-party logistics companies.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/is-industrials-boom-era-ending\/\">Is Industrial\u2019s Boom Era Ending?<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Some of the biggest players in the IOS subsector include <strong>J.P.

It\u2019s also situated near the confluences of I-76, I-25, I-270 and US 36 and near the BNSF Intermodal Facility and UP Intermodal Facility.<\/p>\n<p>Trone described the former auto auction site as a \u201crare and very attractive piece of property\u201d that can be divided down to three or four tenants, with options to share the building and office space, or some can just use the property for pure yard space.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Trone and Trinkle and colleague Steve Hager represented a partnership of <strong>Biynah Industrial Partners<\/strong> and <strong>Platform Ventures<\/strong> in the $9.5 million acquisition of a 12.2-acre IOS property in central Denver from <strong>Prime Inc<\/strong>., in an off-market transaction. BIP, a Minneapolis-based private equity firm that invests in industrial real estate, and Platform, a Kansas City, Mo.,-based real estate investor and asset manager, plan to invest at least $150 million in IOS assets over the next two years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004600987\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/Trone-Matt.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004600987\" data-attachment-id=\"1004600987\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-industrial-outdoor-storage-is-the-new-hot-cre-type\/trone-matt\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/08\/Trone-Matt.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,900\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Bart Levy Photography&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D750&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1642587155&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;2020&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;120&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Trone, Matt\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Matt Trone, Managing Director, Cushman &#038; Wakefield.

The previous owner was only using about 4 acres, Trone said, while the new owners plan to pave the unused land to maximize the space for interested tenants. They expect strong demand since development of infill locations over the past several years has displaced companies that need parking for trailers and heavy equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The renewal rate for tenants in the IOS sector is greater than traditional industrial properties. Harris told <em>CPE<\/em>. But they also tend to sign shorter leases, generally in the five- to seven-year range, which is attractive to institutional owners looking for value-add assets that will potentially see more frequent rent increases. With demand outpacing supply, owners also don\u2019t need to worry about replacing tenants who leave. Triple net leases can often be found at IOS properties, where operating expenses in general are lower than traditional industrial properties.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/e-commerce-powers-the-rise-of-multistory-industrial-projects\/\">E-commerce Powers the Rise of Multistory Industrial Projects<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Despite the increased investments in IOS in recent months, Leste\u2019s Patinkin says the market is big enough to accommodate all the interested investors\u2014at least for the next two or so years.<\/p>\n<p>But he has advice for those considering investments in IOS: \u201cYou have to have really good access to capital because the credit markets are very young in IOS and there\u2019s not a lot of participation yet.
