Industrial

Whether you need a warehouse, distribution center or manufacturing facility, the team at NAI Glickman Kovago & Jacobs has the expertise to find the appropriate property for your specific circumstances. Our deep market knowledge means we can identify critical aspects of a site that affect both cost and value, whether you are a prospective buyer or tenant. Our goal is to simplify the process for you.

For the most efficient approach, we provide many alternatives to help you understand the market and see the best choices available. Taking both a management and construction perspective, we help assess the real costs of an industrial transaction, as they are not always obvious.

This is what we do full time, so you can focus on running your business with minimal distraction. We search out the information required to successfully undertake the transaction. We work with qualified vendors who can help, including civil engineers, experts in property improvements, moving companies as well as our own commercial construction division. We understand the regulatory environment particular to Massachusetts and its local town codes and will advise you on how these may affect aspects of your deal.

For a manufacturing site, for example, you will need to consider power requirements and advanced building systems to support your specific production process. The Central Massachusetts and Greater Worcester region have many older manufacturing properties that can be retrofitted for today’s standards, but some industries require clean rooms that need to be purpose-built.

In distribution, the trend is toward higher clearances for taller racking. These require absolutely flat flooring to support the additional height, narrower passages and autonomous vehicle access for loading and packing. Increased capacity for on-site tractor-trailer storage has also led demand.

A warehouse site may have different infrastructure requirements, depending on the products handled there. Appropriate floor reinforcements, more sophisticated sprinkler systems to meet stringent fire codes, or special lighting and heating capabilities could come into play for these properties.
