Market Opportunity

The U.S. warehouse and distribution sector has experienced unprecedented demand driven by the explosive growth of e-commerce, supply chain restructuring, and the nearshoring trend. Industrial vacancy rates remain at historic lows while rental rate growth continues to outpace most commercial real estate sectors, making warehouse assets among the most compelling investment opportunities in today's market.

Facility Types We Finance

Bulk Distribution

Large-scale facilities (200,000+ SF) serving regional and national distribution networks for major retailers and third-party logistics providers. Typically featuring 32–36' clear heights, cross-dock configurations, and extensive trailer parking.

Last-Mile Delivery

Smaller infill facilities (30,000–150,000 SF) positioned near population centers to enable same-day and next-day delivery. High demand from e-commerce fulfillment operators, parcel carriers, and grocery delivery services.

Cold Storage & Food Distribution

Temperature-controlled warehouses serving the food supply chain, pharmaceutical distribution, and perishable goods logistics. Specialized mechanical systems command premium rents and longer lease terms.

Flex & Light Industrial

Versatile spaces combining warehouse, showroom, and office uses. Popular among small-to-mid-size businesses, e-commerce brands, and light manufacturing tenants requiring adaptable configurations.

The Macallan Approach

  • Logistics-Driven Underwriting

    We evaluate warehouse investments through a supply chain lens — analyzing transportation corridors, port proximity, labor markets, and last-mile delivery economics to identify assets positioned for sustained demand and rental growth.

  • Institutional Capital Relationships

    Our deep relationships with institutional investors, life companies, and debt funds allow us to source competitive terms for warehouse assets across the risk spectrum, from core stabilized to opportunistic development.

  • Value-Add Expertise

    We specialize in identifying repositioning opportunities — converting obsolete facilities, optimizing clear heights, adding trailer courts, and implementing modern building systems to drive NOI growth and asset appreciation.

  • Market Intelligence

    Leveraging real-time data on absorption trends, tenant demand drivers, and submarket dynamics, we help clients make informed acquisition, disposition, and development decisions in the fast-moving industrial sector.
