What does Blacktop invest in?

Blacktop's investment strategy focuses on Shallow Bay/Multi-Tenant (SBMT) Industrial Buildings and Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS)/Industrial Service Facilities (ISF), targeting strategic 'Last Mile' infill locations near population centers, manufacturing hubs, transportation nodes, and key supply chain components.

SBMT industrial assets support and enhance primary industrial functions, such as bulk distribution and large-scale manufacturing, and cater to a diverse array of users within the broader economy. These users engage in activities ranging from small-scale manufacturing and last-mile distribution to research and development, as well as construction, and both commercial and residential services.

IOS and ISF properties complement traditional industrial activities by offering essential services, including storage, parking, and dispatch for heavy equipment, shipping containers, trucks, and raw materials. These properties attract a wide range of user groups from various sectors, including e-commerce, construction, logistics, and infrastructure. This diversity ensures robust support for both traditional and emerging industrial needs.
