Small bay industrial real estate investing, explained by an active operator, not a guru. I’m Will Skillman, CEO of Trowbridge Development, buying, developing, and leasing small bay industrial and flex properties. This channel breaks down real deal numbers: acquisitions, value-add repositioning, ground-up development, cap rates, market rents, and strategies behind small bay flex, storage-to-flex conversions, and multi-tenant industrial. No theory or recycled advice—just real underwriting, timelines, and lessons from completed deals. New videos, including calls from Small Bay Basecamp, a free community of small bay industrial investors, developers, and operators sharing insights. Topics include small bay industrial investing, flex space development, industrial acquisitions, value-add real estate, underwriting, market rents, zoning, site selection, leasing strategy, development finance, and commercial real estate investing.
