Small-bay industrial real estate continues to gain momentum, becoming a hot commodity in the broader industrial sector. Due to high asset demand, rising construction costs, and a shift to multi-tenant spaces from large single-tenant properties, small-bay industrial properties make up the strongest industry performers. Not only do these properties offer adaptability, but they also hold potential for added value and offer consistent tenant occupancy, making them a win-win for investors in today's market. BKM consistently discovers excellent value in small-bay industrial investments, diligently searching for high-quality, infill assets in high demand by the market's top tenants.

At BKM, we take pride in the meticulous process of stenciling addresses and signage onto our buildings, ensuring both functionality and a polished appearance. This technique is more than just a finishing touch; it’s a statement of quality and attention to detail. Our BKM Construction Department consistently utilizes this method to enhance visibility and provide clear, professional markings that stand the test of time. Here's how our team achieves the perfect stencil in five steps: Step 1: Apply the vinyl cutout to the wall at the desired location—this serves as the silhouette of the final design. Step 2: Paint one liberal coat over the cutouts the same color as the wall behind the stencil to seal all edges and prevent unwanted drips. Step 3: Apply the desired color over the cutout sections, repeating until even coverage is achieved. Step 4: After about 30 minutes, slowly peel back the stencil to reveal your perfect design with no drips or frayed edges. Step 5: Stand back and admire your pro-level stenciling skills! "This method ensures that our properties maintain a sharp, professional look, adding to our spaces' overall appeal and usability. Our teams' expertise in executing this process is what truly brings our vision to life," says Senior Construction Manager, Erik Carrera. #BKM #TeamBKM #BKMManagementCompany #Stenciling #Signage #SignPainting

At BKM, we're leading the charge in sustainable practices across our portfolio. Our ongoing initiative at Hughes Airport Center in Las Vegas, NV, is transforming 900,000 square feet of grass into xeriscape with native drought-tolerant plants. This effort not only aligns with new local regulations to conserve water but also enhances the value of the property through reduced operating costs. With over $220,000 in rebates and 1.2 million gallons of water saved annually, this project is a prime example of how sustainability can drive both environmental and financial benefits.

In the San Diego industrial market, demand continues to maintain its upward trajectory thanks to a sustained appetite for small-bay industrial space, spurring a flurry of leasing activity not seen since the beginning of 2023. According to CoStar Group data, in Q1 and Q2 of 2024 leasing volume for the small-bay segment made up the highest proportion of total leasing volume at 39%, leveling out with the pace set in early 2023 and surpassing the 2021 and 2022 averages by 10%. Availability rates for smaller spaces sit steady at around a 3 month average across the market, with tenants favoring short-term leases and requiring minimal concessions. BKM’s San Diego light industrial portfolio, comprising just under one million SF and representing 10% of our overall portfolio, is capitalizing on these tight market fundamentals and continues to be an area of opportunity for BKM to deploy its proven investment thesis. In expanding the BKM operational platform, key growth markets like San Diego provide stability and long term opportunity for continued success in the light industrial space.
