Higher ceilings are the latest trend in warehouse real estate, but some builders say they could do more harm than good.
Speaking on a panel at the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association’s Industrial Conference in Long Beach, Calif., on Wednesday, executives from Prologis Inc., DCT Industrial Trust Inc., Panattoni Development Co. and The McShane Companies debated the merits of 36-foot and 40-foot clearance.
Proponents say aiming for such great heights can attract prime clients such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s Walmart.com or Amazon.com Inc., who need the extra space as the booming e-commerce sector continues to grow. Prologis is presently constructing—on spec—a one-million-square-foot warehouse in Tracy, Calif., that will have 40-foot-high ceilings, which is 25% taller than the typical 32 feet.
But some builders on the panel said many warehouse tenants can’t make good use of that extra space because they don’t have the right equipment or know-how to use it efficiently.
