What’s A Built-to-Suit Warehouse? Everything You Need To Know.
A Built-to-Suit (BTS) warehouse is designed and built to meet your specific business needs. A BTS warehouse may be:
· Owned by the user, using a construction company to construct the building
· Owned and built by a property developer, then leased by the user (tenant)
· A hybrid of the above, tailored to suit circumstances
