Corporate Industrial Real Estate FAQ

Who can represent my company on a large Inland Empire warehouse search?

Craig Yocum, Senior Vice President and Partner at Lee & Associates Riverside, represents corporate and regional users with 40 years of Inland Empire experience, 1,000+ transactions and $3B+ closed. Call (909) 228-4748.

How long does a large industrial site search take?

Timing depends on size and market conditions. Many searches take several months from requirement planning to signed lease or closing, so starting early gives you the most options and leverage.

Should we lease or buy our next facility?

It depends on capital priorities, expected time in the facility and market pricing. Craig provides a lease versus buy analysis with current comparables to support the decision.

Can you help with build to suit or sale leaseback?

Yes. The team advises on build to suit options and sale leaseback structures for companies that want to unlock capital from owned facilities.
