Industrial Open Storage (IOS)

Acquire and Develop Open Storage Sites with Carter Jonas

Finding the right open storage site in the right location can be critical to long-term operational and investment success. Our dedicated IOS team proactively identifies both on-market and off-market opportunities through an established network of agents, landowners and industry contacts.

Using market intelligence, transaction data and occupational demand analysis, we identify areas where rental growth, infrastructure investment and occupier requirements are driving increased demand for open storage sites.

Once opportunities have been identified, we manage the acquisition process from initial site sourcing through to negotiation and completion, working closely with purchasers, vendors and professional advisers.

Our team also advises on strategies to enhance rental income and asset value. This includes assessing site improvements, reviewing occupier requirements, applying the IOS Four-Tier Classification System and determining the most effective letting strategy, whether for a single occupier or a multi-let open storage site.
