Automotive, Self-Storage & Special Purpose

Auto, self-storage, fitness, childcare and more — use-specific assets driven by zoning and demand.

Overview

Where use-specific demand meets zoning

Special-purpose assets — auto service, car washes, self-storage, medical/dental, fitness, childcare — depend on zoning fit, traffic, visibility, and use-specific demand. Rapid suburban rooftop growth keeps demand for convenience and service uses strong.

What drives value

Zoning fit for the specific use
Traffic, visibility and access
Trade-area demand for the use
Use-specific improvements and re-tenanting risk

Lease & deal structure

Often owner-user or NNN depending on the use
Use-specific build-out can limit future flexibility
Self-storage and car washes prized for margins and durability
Location fundamentals matter even more
