Refrigerated Building Sale Price



Refrigerated Building Sale Price


What would my company’s refrigerated warehouse building sale price be if it was offered For Sale? What does the freezer warehouse space and the cooler warehouse space in our present refrigerated warehouse building add to the selling price of a refrigerated warehouse building?

These are important questions to be answered when your company is contemplating purchasing a refrigerated building. How old is the building, what are the ceiling heights in the warehouse area and how many dock doors does the building have? These 3 construction questions about a refrigerated building are important on how efficient the building will be when occupied and these questions will be important whenever your company decides to resell the building.

Where is the location of the building? This is important because there is a preference for refrigerated food type buildings to be close to interstate highways, and is located towards the center of the town or metro St Louis area so that transportation costs can be to a minimum.

How much of the building floor space is refrigerated? In the warehouse area how much floor space is capable of freezer storage temperatures, or is capable of cooler storage temperatures? Generally the higher the percentage of the building that is freezer space and cooler space, then the building will be worth more when you go to sell the facility.

How much land is your building located on? The amount of land is important in determining the sale price of a refrigerated warehouse building. There are certain "building to land" ratios that generally define how large the site should be. However each parcel of land is uniquely shaped, so special attention has to be given to how the building is situated so that the warehouse loading dock areas portion flows efficiently and the employee parking is sufficient.
