Property type

Build-to-suit & land

New facilities designed and delivered around a tenant's long-term requirement.

When no existing building fits, a facility can be built for the tenant. A build-to-suit pairs a long-term lease with a building designed around the operation: its size, layout, loading, power and expansion path.

What to look for

Site selection
Labour, logistics, incentives, utilities and zoning, compared across candidate sites.
Design
Specifications agreed in the lease, so the building meets the operation's requirement on day one.
Schedule
Entitlement, permitting and construction milestones tied to the tenant's move-in date.
Expansion
Land and design that leave room for the next phase.

How these leases are usually structured

Build-to-suit leases are usually long-term net or absolute net leases, with rent set from the agreed project cost. Compare lease types.

Questions tenants ask

How early should we start?

As early as possible. New construction takes considerably longer than leasing an existing building, because of design, entitlement and permitting.
