SRS INDUSTRIAL
What is IOS? Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) is a specialized industrial real estate asset class consisting of paved, gravel, or unpaved land with minimal building improvements, designed to support outdoor-intensive industrial uses such as trailer and container storage, construction laydown yards, fleet parking, and heavy equipment storage. IOS sites are typically located near critical infrastructure or within infill population centers where land is scarce and demand is strong. These properties are land-driven, with size and location being the primary value drivers, while buildings are secondary. IOS assets generally operate at low density, with FAR (floor area ratio) typically ranging from 0% to 25%. SIZE: 1-20 ACRES / INDUSTRIAL ZONED INFILL LOCATIONS NEAR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
SMALLER BUILDINGS ON LARGE LOTS (FAR < 0.25) GROUND LOADING DOORS TRUCKING ACCESS
FENCED & SECURED YARD LIGHTING
