Examples of using industrial outdoor storage (IOS) & or development to create income & or business's.
Below we have listed real-life examples of fabulous investments created using unimproved property. If you have control of unimproved land, there are now, perhaps more than ever before, many different ways to generate income from it. The demand we experience now was not apparent even ro years ago. The reason for this is perhaps a combination of factors: our population is increasing, households are living in smaller areas, and access to storage is hard to find. In terms of industrial storage, the increase in online ordering may mean a greater reliance on temporary storage for importers and manufacturers. Investors who wish to own for the long term and create income from unimproved property can find the perfect investment opportunity, especially by creating outdoor storage. With a limited number of buildings to depreciate or maintain, outdoor storage offers a compelling investment opportunity for landholders seeking holding income from their undeveloped land. An outdoor storage business, or IOS, might just be the answer. It is used by both corporate and domestic users, with domestic uses generally referred to as self-storage. Industrial users will store bulky items. The most attractive investment feature of IOS is that the improvements are comparatively cheap to build. The land surface can be concrete, asphalt, limestone, or sometimes just raw land itself. It also helps to have a small on-site office, but that's about it. End users seeking outdoor storage often commit to long-term leases at impressive rental rates of $30 per sqm per annum or more plus outgoings. Some prefer to build and develop, and we have detailed some examples of developing property for end users who are keen on new stores. QSR, LFR, and Auto Services such as service stations greatly need new sites.
