Industrial Build-to-Suit Facilities | Logistics, E-Commerce, Distribution
A build-to-suit development allows tenants to partner with developers to build a new facility to their own specifications.
At Dermody, we believe in a collaborative approach to build-to-suit developments that ensures that your project is defined and delivered seamlessly with your business and operational needs guiding the process.
Dermody’s Approach to Build-to-Suit Development
A build-to-suit with Dermody means that our team becomes an extension of yours. Through a customer-led, partnership approach process, we can manage land acquisition, due diligence, the entitlement process, development approvals and permitting, and all aspects of design, construction and funding. We will work with you to create a facility that meets your unique needs–one that is of institutional quality, sustainable, highly productive and energy efficient.
Development Tailored to You
A build-to-suit development can help you maximize space and efficiency, plan for growth and the scalability of your operations, and align your distribution and warehousing needs with market demands. Whether you want to lease or own your custom facility, Dermody’s customer-driven, collaborative and partnership approach will help you realize your goals.
Regional Strength and a National Footprint
We pride ourselves on being wherever our customers need us. Whether that means the major logistics markets or the dynamic regional markets throughout the country, it’s wherever your business requires you to be. Our regional strength and national footprint give us the ability to source, manage and develop build-to-suit projects anywhere in the U.S.
Currently, we have nearly 2,000 acres available for build-to-suits in key distribution markets across the country. Additionally, we will partner with our customers to source, entitle and acquire sites in their desired U.S. locations.
Experience Unmatched
Dermody has developed several million square feet of build-to-suit projects across the country ranging from 100,000-square-foot, standalone buildings for a local company to facilities that are 3 million square feet or more for a Fortune 100 company. Our team of experienced leaders each brings, on average, more than 20 years of development experience to your project.
Funding for Build-to-Suit Developments
When it comes to funding, Dermody has the capital capabilities and resources in place to ensure your project is realized. In addition to our fully discretionary investment funds, we have the ability to execute transactions with alternative capital sources making us one of the few developers that can provide clients with this level of flexibility.
