Industrial Open Storage

Open / Outdoor Storage (also known as Industrial Open Storage
('IOS') – in the United States, where it is a more established asset class)
is a key urban land use that is emerging as a key segment
within the Industrial and Logistics sector.

The demand for this type of space is increasing and continues to evolve to cater to a wide range of uses. In many cases the existing product is unable to service this demand, creating an opportunity to provide an institutional grade offering that satisfies what both the occupier and investors are looking for.
