1 INSIGHT
Location might be the headline factor in an industrial search, but power and utilities can make or break a deal. Electrical capacity, HVAC systems, and water or gas infrastructure directly impact daily operations and long-term scalability. Overlooking these can lead to expensive retrofits, workflow disruptions, or even the need to relocate sooner than planned.
2 ACTION STEPS FOR TENANTS
- Understand your power, HVAC, and utility requirements before touring, and verify that each property can support them without costly upgrades.
- Consider future expansion plans and emerging technologies that could require additional power or utility capacity.
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Make sure the power supply meets your equipment’s requirements in terms of amperage, voltage, and whether it’s a single or three-phase power. Example: 200 Amps, 120/208 Volts, 3-Phase power.
- Insufficient power capacity results in costly delays and necessary improvements.
- Aligning the power infrastructure with long-term growth is key to achieving scalable and efficient operations.
