Quick fulfillment means keeping more stock on hand.
Brick-and-mortar retail growth is slowing, but quick fulfillment and e-commerce markets are growing at a rate that makes it hard to keep up. Customers expect everything instantly and companies want to get in on the boom.
Everything from grocery delivery to quick-ship retail has owners scrambling (and sometimes overpaying) for space to store all the backstock.
With rising construction and labor costs, and shifting zoning restrictions, it pays to think outside the box. Containerized imports have driven the old commerce engine, but the new engine of last-mile fulfillment is driving demand for low-cost warehousing and storage with easy access.
For owners of industrial property, it’s an opportunity for higher lease rates, but not at the Aviation Business Park at the Baton Rouge Metro Airport. The amount of money you save is staggering. With over 300 acres of space, no property taxes and scalable growth options, it’s a wonder any space remains. More than 50,000 square feet of warehousing space is currently available in the airport’s existing cargo buildings. This includes multiple truck loading docks and 12 X 12 roll-up doors, ventilation/heating and the security of the airport location.
In addition to storage, the Aviation Business Park has ready-to-build acreage, direct access to major transportation avenues, an aggressive incentive program for every type of business tenant, and competitive leasing rates. This is perfect for manufacturing and distribution operations. United Coca-Cola Bottlers, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Department Headquarters and All Star Chevrolet North all utilize airport properties.
The Aviation Business Park at BTR also has an LED Certified Sites program that qualifies industrial sites based on zoning restrictions, title work, environmental studies, soil analysis and surveys. These sites are 180-day development ready and have substantial due diligence studies performed to receive certification.
The Aviation Business Park offers competitive leasing rates and economic incentives. Contact BTR at theaviationbusinesspark.com or call (225) 355-0333 to find out how much you could be saving.
