Sometimes the most valuable asset on site is the site. AssetBuilt markets industrial real estate alongside the equipment inside it — as a going concern, as a turnkey facility with the plant in place, as a building cleared and ready, or as a redevelopment opportunity.
Most owners arrive assuming one answer: sell the equipment, then sell the empty building. That is often right, and it is just as often the worst of the four options.
A facility sold turnkey — power, process, utilities and production equipment in place and operable — can be worth more than the sum of a cleared building plus an equipment sale, because the buyer is purchasing time as much as assets.
Equally, a building whose value lies in its power service, clear height or location may sell faster and higher cleared, with the plant relocated to a buyer elsewhere.
The right route depends on who the likely buyer is, what the equipment is worth independently, and how long the holding costs can be carried. We model the options rather than assuming one.
Clearing a building before testing the turnkey market is a decision that cannot be reversed.
It is worth an appraisal before it is worth a crew.
Industrial real estate across manufacturing, processing, logistics and specialised use.
Single plants and multi-building campuses with process infrastructure, heavy power, utilities and production equipment in place.
Processing and bottling plants, breweries, cold storage and facilities with wet process, sanitation and utility infrastructure.
Clean-space, coating, materials and specialty manufacturing buildings with environmental control and specialised services.
Warehousing and distribution buildings with dock capacity, clear height and racking or automation in place or removable.
Sites whose existing power, cooling, structure and location suit a use other than the last one, subject to utility, environmental and approval confirmation.
Surplus land, yards and parcels associated with operating or closing industrial sites.
A sample of the industrial real estate AssetBuilt is marketing. Current availability and terms are on the auctions and offerings page.
A former citrus processing and beverage campus: a multi-building industrial site with processing areas, warehousing and plant utility infrastructure, offered as a turnkey acquisition.
A former advanced manufacturing complex of approximately 369,000 square feet near Statesboro, offered with real estate and equipment options.
Approximately 40,000 square feet of industrial manufacturing and warehouse space in Central Los Angeles, available as real estate alone or with the coatings and process equipment.
Approximately 225,000 square feet with mechanical and hydraulic stamping presses to 2,000 tons. Presses can be purchased for relocation, or an equipment purchase paired with a facility lease.
A 3.2 million square foot brewery campus, where AssetBuilt led asset recovery ahead of demolition and redevelopment of the site.
Appraise the equipment independently of the building, then compare turnkey sale, cleared sale, lease-with-equipment and relocation against holding costs and likely timelines.
Assemble the documentation a serious buyer needs: utility capacity and service, process infrastructure, equipment schedules, environmental position and transferable rights.
Manufacturers, operators, developers and investors — including buyers from outside the sector the building last served, who are frequently the ones who see the next use.
Private treaty, negotiated sale or structured offering, with the equipment component handled on the same timeline rather than as a separate project.
Where the sale is of a cleared building, removal, decommissioning and demolition support are coordinated to the handover date.
Tell us what the facility is, what is still installed and what the timeline looks like. We will model the routes — turnkey, cleared, or equipment relocated — and tell you which one we would actually recommend.
