Most real estate businesses celebrate tenant retention. We’re going to celebrate when our customers leave. Because sometimes leaving means they won. THE YARDS is being built for the entrepreneur who has outgrown the driveway but is still too small for institutional real estate. The contractor with three trucks and two trailers. The marine operator who needs secure space. The small vendor who just won a contract with a major manufacturer and suddenly needs somewhere to stage equipment, materials and people. They don’t necessarily need a warehouse. They don’t need to buy five acres. And they shouldn’t have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars building infrastructure before they’ve had the opportunity to grow into it. They need a Yard. Secure space. Power where needed. Storage. Containers. Office. Connectivity. Access. Infrastructure ready to work. We call it VIaaS — Vendor Infrastructure as a Service. But here’s the part that matters most. We don’t want these businesses renting from us forever. We want them to grow. We want the contractor with three trucks to need twelve. We want the entrepreneur in one Yard to eventually need a building. And when that day comes, our response should be simple: Congratulations. You graduated. Then we help them find the next building, the next piece of land, the right capital and the people who can help them make that move. Their Yard goes back into inventory. And another entrepreneur gets their shot. Your turn. Over decades, the most important question won’t simply be how much rent THE YARDS generated from a piece of property. It will be: How many businesses did that same piece of dirt help grow? That’s what we’re building. Not storage. Not fenced dirt. Infrastructure for opportunity. Too big for the driveway. Too small for the institution. Ready for their shot. THE YARDS

We ran a poll, and monthly won clearly over weekly - so let's make it happen. The format: A 45-60 min call built entirely around meeting people, not listening to a presentation. We'll break into rooms of 3-4 for 15-minute rounds, rotating 3-4 times - so by the end you'll have actually talked to 6-10 people in the community.. No prep needed. Show up, introduce yourself, talk shop, repeat. Now the hard part: picking a day and time that works. We're spread across time zones and schedules, so rather than guess, help me find the best fit. Rather than run another poll with a long list of days and times, drop a comment with your best day/time (and time zone) - e.g. 'Tuesday evenings, ET' or 'Weekend mornings, CT.'" I will leave this open for 7 days and then try to find a day and time that works for as many people as possible.

Hi everyone...quick introduction. I am with Parkway Construction and Architecture, a general contracting and design-build firm with nationwide experience since 1981. I look forward to making connections with developers and operators who are needing help with their upcoming small bay industrial projects!

Hello everyone. Look forward to engaging and learning with the group. We have built and owned many flex/industrial buildings but have our first true small bay project about to start moving dirt.
