Firstly, we acquire and develop multi-unit properties with expansion potential, allowing us to achieve maximum market rents. Patriot Holdings also actively acquires development sites to build designed-for-purpose flex industrial space and 100,000 to 200,000+ sqft warehousing.

Why Industrial Assets?
Industrial assets form the backbone of the American economy, from warehouses to distribution centers, industrial properties are at the heart of every transaction. The facilities needed to serve the growing eCommerce market require 300% more space than traditional retail.
Record Demand & Growth
The facilities needed to serve the growing eCommerce market require 300% more space than traditional retail. In addition, Supply Chain demands is increasing the space required for warehousing in the USA. 65% of business are strategically stockpiling key materials.
Increasing Rents
Rents have increased over 32% nationally since the Covid pandemic started. in the New England area, rents have jumped to $12 NNN for industrial assets. We are at a record 20 year + low vacancy rate, as occupancy has soared across industrial properties.
High Returns On Investment
Increasing demand has led to better CAP rates for existing assets, with the average sale price up 35 percent since 2019, to $133 per sqft. Retailers bought over 10 Million SQFT of industrial assets in the last year alone (8x previous average). Patriot is able to identify key development locations, and development costs are minimized, as construction is mostly prefabricated, allowing for higher returns on capital.
How technology is shaping industrial demand
Robotics, Delivery Automation, Last Mile Delivery and more are some of the key trends driving the growth behind the Industrial asset class. With fuel costs rising, and customers demanding faster delivery and turnaround times, previously ignored secondary markets have become lucrative for investment.
Record Absorbtion
2021 had a record amount of new construction in the industrial space, but this was met with a record 520,000,000 sqft of industrial space being absorbed. Development has been unable to keep up with demand.
Strategic Locations
Supply chain issues around key US ports has led to development and demand increase in other ports around the country. By identifying key logistics routes, Patriot is able to develop ahead of demand, producing a state of the art facility that can command top market rents.
Shift to Automation
With a shortage of truck drivers, increasing labor costs, and reduced technology costs, Fortune 500 businesses are looking to prime industrial spaces close to their customer base to service their clients. Robots are no longer exclusive to the top companies, leading to huge growth in the demand for modern facilities.
