The NAT Advantage
The fundamental base of our leadership position in this industry lies in the many years of experience that our key personnel possess. We actively foster positive industry relationships - interacting daily with leaders in trucking and logistics real estate. We provide our team with all of the tools they need to complete leasing, development, and acquisition transactions quickly and efficiently.

Property Identification & Strategy
We leverage our knowledge of the transportation real estate industry and our experienced personnel to work directly with customers, brokerage professionals, public officials and other parties to identify acquisitions and target new markets.

Build-to-Suits and Expansions
Our Construction & Development group is staffed with a team of professional engineers and architects who have extensive industry experience designing and developing new facilities and terminal expansions.

Institutional Capital Structure
Our clients and tenants enjoy the benefits of our strong institutional capital structure and the stability of our investments. Through our partnership with institutional investors such as CalPERS, the largest public employee pension fund in North America, and LaSalle Investment Management, we have access to conservatively-priced, long-term capital, which translates into lower operating costs for our clients.

Flexible Financing with Sale-leaseback and Hybrid Debt
Our specialization in transportation-related industrial real estate provides us the expertise to procure and underwrite debt for these properties. As a result, we are flexible in designing alternative debt-financing options. We can help our clients accommodate liquidity requirements or balance sheet restructuring with sale and leaseback agreements.

Speed to Market
Our track record and established corporate structure allow us to complete transactions quickly and efficiently. Our dedicated team - in-house legal counsel, asset managers, property managers, and principals - works cooperatively to negotiate, structure, and underwrite deals. This allows us to secure opportunities quickly, as they come to market. Our typical transaction cycle time - from identification through due diligence and closing - is typically 30 to 45 days.

Efficient and Proactive Property Management
Capital Expenditure Management - We maintain annual, five- and ten-year capital expenditure programs, competitively bid services, continually seek new operational efficiencies, and challenge excessive property assessments when appropriate.

Preventive Maintenance Program - We systematically employ a preventive maintenance program designed to preserve the value of our properties and to keep them fully operational for our clients. Our program includes inspections focused on safety, environmental issues, and structural needs.

Accounting and Reporting - We provide our clients with an institutional-quality reporting package managed through a complete Yardi web-based accounting system. Our system automates many of the lease-administration and operating expense reconciliation challenges.
