WHAT WE LIKE
Flex Industrial Assets like Berwyn
- Have a multi-tenant base like a small apartment community, risk is diversified away from single or majority tenant spaces.
- Limited Tenant Improvement (TI) needs.
High Cash Yields with Rent & Reimbursement Growth Potential
- Conservative assumptions yield robust returns even in downside scenarios.
- Pro Forma Y1 cap rate of 7.97% higher than the submarket average of 7.3%.
- Average CoC Yield of 8.87% during the hold period.
- Several tenants currently have gross or modified gross leases. Upon lease expiration, UIP plans to convert leases to NNN wherever possible.
- In-place rents average $14.3/sf, while current submarket listings average $16/sf.
Favorable Going-in Basis
- Purchase price well below replacement cost – purchase price is $170 psf, and our all-in basis is $190 psf.
- The break-even exit price requires virtually no organic appreciation in psf values, meaning that investors have low risk of loss.
- With cap rate compression anticipated over the next 3-5+ years in this asset class, the investment offers significant upside as well.
Supply Constrained Industrial Submarket
- Market vacancy has decreased from 12% in 2018 to 9% today (Costar, 2024).
- There has been positive net absorption in the market over the past decade (Costar, 2024).
- It is not economically feasible to build new supply due to increased construction costs.
- Current industrial assets are being converted into data centers, limiting supply growth (Newmark, 2024).
Strong Regional Location
- The location of the asset is within one hour of three international airports (DCA, BWI, IAD).
- One-third of the US’s income is located within a day’s truck drive.
- Adjacent to I-95, I-495, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway which provide access to DC, Baltimore, and the greater East Coast.
- Infill location in a mature submarket.
