Before you begin, it is important to consider what type of operation you are planning. Sharing that information with your commercial broker is the first step.
When looking into commercial property in Douglas County, here are the top things Greg Johnson CCIM recommends.
Tip #1 – Site selection (or as they used to say “location, location, location”) is the first thing to consider.
Your business might need to be on a busy street if it is going to need a constant stream of customers. Space in an industrial park off the beaten path would be good for a manufacturing company. Many of those kinds of details will eliminate many potential commercial properties or point to the perfect one.
Tip #2 – Research, research, and more research.
Due diligence is absolutely necessary. A deep dive into the history of the property will uncover hidden dangers and old secrets about the location you are considering. Commercial and industrial operations are as individual as the people who operate them. Thinking about the end product before you begin is another must. Rely on your broker to bring the best outside consultants available to your team.
Research will also uncover the condition of the utilities that run to a property. Before making an offer, it would be good to inspect the gas, water, and sewer pipes and to have someone review the stability of the electrical supply. Some businesses require a large, consistent natural gas supply or need to be close to the fiberoptic network. It takes research and experience to know what kinds of utilities a particular location can offer.
Tip #3 – Get a Phase 1 Environmental Report.
This is one of the most important reports to have done on a piece of commercial property you are considering. The Phase 1 Report is a scientific report that evaluates hidden environmental risks and liabilities about a property. Phase 1 reports can uncover things that local people have forgotten about a particular location. For instance, one Phase 1 Report determined that an industrial property was hiding a buried oil tank because back in 1900 the location was home to a prune processing plant.
Tip #4 – Next, know the zoning.
Cities and counties designate every piece of property for a particular use. That designation is called zoning. Certain types of manufacturing or industrial activity are allowed within certain zones. You may not be able to weld or grind or build a large building on a property zoned for residential use.
Commercial Brokers like Greg Johnson CCIM at G Stiles Realty take all of these factors into account for their clients to help them find the perfect match for commercial properties. They also know how to use this information to make accurate and successful offers on your behalf.
