What Is Distressed Industrial Real Estate?

Distressed industrial real estate refers to properties that have fallen out of favor for various reasons, making them financially unviable or operationally unsustainable. These properties often come with a host of challenges, such as environmental issues and outdated infrastructure, which can complicate their sale through traditional methods.

Distressed industrial properties are often the following:

🍃
Environmental challenges
⭕
Underperformance
📊
Underutilization or vacancy
❌
Abandonment
💰
Ongoing negative cash flow

If you find yourself owning distressed industrial real estate, selling to a specialized buyer like Schneider Industries can offer you some financial relief while also ensuring that the property is redeveloped responsibly. Our team has a wealth of experience in acquiring and repositioning complex industrial properties, even those with tricky environmental and regulatory backgrounds.

Streamlining the Real Estate Acquisition Process

Selling a distressed property can often feel like a daunting task, especially when you're up against environmental liabilities, regulatory hurdles, and operational issues. That's where Schneider Industries comes in to make things easier for sellers by offering:

  • Fair and fast property evaluations: We recognize the unique value of industrial assets, even when others might just see them as burdens.
  • Comprehensive environmental risk assessment: Our team digs deep to evaluate contamination, structural hazards, and any compliance gaps.
  • Tailored purchase agreements: Every property has its own story, so we craft deals that are as unique as the properties themselves.
  • Immediate capital to jumpstart distressed real estate: Our financial strength allows us to quickly inject capital into transactions, reducing delays and helping sellers move on without unnecessary holding costs.
  • Assumption of environmental and regulatory liabilities: We work with trusted professionals to manage liabilities that are known or unknown, above, at, or below grade, on or off-site, past, current, or may be present in the future.
  • Rapid closings to minimize holding costs: Our aim is to wrap up acquisitions swiftly, easing the financial burden on property owners.

With Schneider Industries, you’re not just getting a service; you’re gaining a professional partner who truly understands the complexities of factory real estate purchases and provides solutions that safeguard your financial interests while honoring environmental responsibilities.

What are Brownfield Properties?

One of the most common types of acquisition projects we handle is called “Brownfield Redevelopment.” Brownfields are distressed industrial facilities in which redevelopment is oftentimes burdened by environmental contamination of hazardous substances, pollutants, petroleum, or other contaminants.

Not only does restoring brownfields improve the local environment by cleaning up contamination, but it also transforms abandoned or underused sites into beneficial assets for the community. If you are looking to transfer the environmental liability of your industrial property, we can develop a revitalized solution to produce a positive outcome for all.
