Choose the right perspective
Match the person's market and project type to yours, since entitling a large logistics park in California differs from delivering a build-to-suit distribution center in Texas or the Southeast. Also decide whether your question is mainly about site selection and feasibility, entitlement and permitting, or construction delivery, and ask each person which of those stages their roles centered on.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide whether a site is worth pursuing for industrial development before spending on entitlements?
- 02What causes the biggest schedule and budget overruns on warehouse projects, and how do you prevent them?
- 03How do you weigh building speculatively against waiting for a build-to-suit tenant?
