Industrial Real Estate Book

[Cole Bigbee]

While doing an Amazon book search a few weeks back, I noticed a very limited number of books that covered the topic of Industrial Real Estate. One of the ones I found that was recently published is Industrial Intelligence by Justin Smith. After looking up the author, I decided to buy the book. As of last Friday I completed the read and must say that I greatly enjoyed the book and felt it had plenty of value to add to my current projects.

Since the author mostly reps the tenants, the book is based from a tenant perspective. I liked this as it gave me insight into to things to look for to make my building more appealing and cast a wider net in the tenant pool. It also talked about strategies for lease rates and how the tenants should be prepared and know what else is available in the market. With me being a landlord, it’s just as important for myself to know what is going on in the market and the current rates, so as I can make sure to offer the most value to potential tenants.

Anyways, I highly recommend the book and hope you will check it out!

It’s also on my “to read” list.  I noticed that Chad Griffiths had discussed this as one of his recommended reads as well on a recent YouTube post, along with some other books related to industrial buildings.
