BUILT TO MANUFACTURE
Where Most Industrial Stops, We Begin
Manufacturing real estate is a distinct, supply-constrained corner of the industrial market and it's the core of what we build across the Boom Belt. These are purpose-built, single-tenant facilities engineered around production: heavy power, crane capacity, reinforced slabs, and the room to grow.
They are not interchangeable boxes. A manufacturing facility houses production, engineering, and administrative functions under one roof — which is why tenants stay for the long term, and why the asset class behaves so differently from traditional warehouse and distribution.
See The Difference of What Sets a Manufacturing Facility Apart
Heavier roof loads, oversized grade-level doors, 30-foot eaves, crane bays, reinforced truck-court pavement, and concrete laydown yards. The callouts above show how a Welcome Group facility is built for production, not just storage.
WHY MANUFACTURING IS DIFFERENT
A Distinct Profile From Traditional Warehouse & Distribution
01
MISSION-CRITICAL TENANCY
Manufacturing operations are expensive and disruptive to relocate. High switching costs and embedded tenant investment translate into long-duration occupancy, sticky tenants, and consistent renewals.
03
DURABLE, GROWING INCOME
Long lease terms with contractual escalations, paired with scarce competing supply, support stable cash flow and rent growth that has historically outpaced traditional industrial.
02
SUPPLY-CONSTRAINED NICHE
The complexity of crane-served, heavy-power facilities limits the pool of qualified developers and investors — creating a durable, less-efficient segment with structurally constrained new supply.
04
PRODUCTION UNDER ONE ROOF
Facilities combine production, engineering, and administrative functions in a single location — deepening tenant reliance on the asset and reducing downtime between leases.
ENGINEERED TO SPEC
Building Features Standard Industrial Can’t Match
HEAVY POWER
Primary electrical service from 4,000–6,000A at 480/277V to drive production loads.
GRADE-LEVEL LOADING
Drive-in doors and full concrete truck courts for flatbed and specialized equipment.
CRANE CAPACITY
Crane-served and crane-ready bays specced up to 30-ton overhead and jib systems.
LAYDOWN YARDS
Low site coverage with compacted or paved yards for outdoor raw-material storage.
Every facility is designed around tenant equipment, process flow, and power needs with the flexibility to add cranes, expand office, or extend yard as operations evolve.
TALL EAVE HEIGHT
24–36' eave and clear heights with reinforced roof structures for crane bays.
CLIMATE CONTROL
Full HVAC and climate-controlled environments mostly standard across the portfolio.
MANUFACTURING VS. TRADITIONAL INDUSTRIAL
REINFORCED SLABS
Thicker, heavy-duty slabs engineered to carry heavy machinery and payloads.
LOGISTICS ACCESS
Freeway frontage with proximity to ports, rail, and major industrial corridors.
| Shallow Bay | Outdoor Storage (IOS) | Welcome Manufacturing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crane Capacity | Minimal or none | N/A | Up to 30-ton or greater |
| Electrical | 1,600–2,000A | ~800A | 4,000–6,000A at 480/277V |
| Office Build-Out | 10–25% | Minimal / trailer | 20–30%, heavily utilized |
| Clear / Eave Height | 24–30 ft | N/A | 24–36 ft, crane-rated |
| Tenant Profile | Multi-tenant, flexible | Storage users | Single-user, mission-critical |
