FAQ

Owners · Tenants · Buyers

How does Drake help owners sell or lease an industrial building?

Disposition starts with a walkthrough and a review of the building, the market and your goals. From there Drake builds a pricing and marketing plan, lists the property on CPIX and other industrial channels, reaches out to likely buyers or tenants, and manages tours, offers, negotiation and due diligence through closing or lease signing.

How does an acquisition search work for owner users and investors?

It begins with a clear list of requirements, such as size, clear height, power, loading, yard, zoning, location and budget. Drake then searches listed and off market options, sets up tours, helps compare buildings side by side, and negotiates the purchase. He also helps coordinate inspections, environmental review, title and financing timing so the deal can close on schedule.

What is a build-to-suit and when does it make sense?

A build-to-suit is a new facility designed and built around a specific user. It can make sense when no existing building meets your needs, or when your operation needs special features like heavy power, high clear height or extra loading. Drake helps with site selection, entitlements and coordination with developers and contractors, and can compare build-to-suit options with existing buildings.

How long does it take to lease industrial space?

It depends on the size of the space, how many options fit, the condition of the building and how much work is needed before move in. A simple lease of a ready space can move quickly, while larger spaces or spaces that need improvements often take longer. Starting early gives you more choices and more negotiating room, so it is smart to reach out well before your current lease ends.

What should I have ready before I start a search?

Helpful details include the size you need, ceiling height, number and type of loading doors, power, parking and yard needs, preferred areas, budget, and your move in date. If you are buying, it also helps to know your financing plan. Drake can help you work through any of these if you are not sure yet.

Do you represent tenants, buyers, landlords and sellers?

Yes. Drake represents owners on disposition and leasing, and represents buyers and tenants on acquisitions and leases. On every assignment the representation is confirmed in writing at the start so everyone knows who is represented.

Which areas do you cover?

Drake focuses on industrial property in Plymouth, Livonia, Canton, Ann Arbor, Saline, Novi, Northville, Wixom, the I-275 corridor and greater Metro Detroit. Through Signature Associates he also handles assignments in other parts of Michigan and the region.
