WAREHOUSES, A HIGHLY PROFITABLE INVESTMENT THAT REQUIRES RIGOROUS MANAGEMENT
Boosted by e-commerce, logistic warehouses are going strong. A warehouse is a highly profitable investment and simple at first sight: a concrete slab, a roof and loading docks. And yet: with strict regulations, fire safety, supply chain imperatives, etc., managing this asset requires specific experience and know-how. BNP Paribas Real Estate Property Management’s experts can help you with all this.
THE LOGISTIC WAREHOUSE: A “TOOL” ASSET
At BNP Paribas Real Estate Property Management, we never lose sight of the fact that a warehouse is first and foremost a work tool. In light of this, we are able to adapt our messaginge with tenants and build a relationship based on trust, listening and mutual understanding.
With tenants, we regularly discuss the condition of the building, which allows us to plan for the maintenance works necessary for its proper operation.
These technical operations must be carried out completely and at the right time. In case of an incident, operations could stops, which could results in deliveries being delayed and financial losses that can be substantial.
At BNP Paribas Real Estate Property Management, we are well aware of the pathologies affecting logistics assets:
- Problems with water collection on roofs,
- under-sized structural elements,
- Slabs casted too quickly, cracking, shifting,
- Poorly compacted subsoil,
- Malfunctioning of safety systems (sprinkler systems, sectional valves, etc.).
With the help of specialised companies, we are able to deal with these types of pathologies and quickly and effectively resolve these potential malfunctions.
REGULATORY SPECIALISTS IN CONTROL OF YOUR WAREHOUSE
A storage warehouse is subject to strict environmental protection regulations. Retention ponds, noise measurement, fire-break standards...BNP Paribas Real Estate Property Management’s teams include regulatory specialists who are fully aware of your obligations and those of your tenants based on the location.
A CHANGING SECTOR THAT REQUIRES A BUILDING IN PERFECT CONDITION
riven by e-commerce platforms and on-shoring, logistics is now recognized as an institutional sector of choice. The trend is an increasing number of high-capacity, robotised and modular warehouses. The use of automated trolleys, storage and retrieval machines and automatic handling systems is gradually becoming widespread. These tools can store pallets or packages in narrow shelving aisles and reach significant heights.
A warehouse that uses this type of technology must be built according to precise and strict specifications. Our job is also to ensure that your logistics platform is in good condition and is delivered as planned.
