Description
Summary:A study provides a closer look at the warehouse building market in a typical southern metropolitan area. A geographic information system (GIS) is used to create and apply distance and neighborhood variables along with conventional property variables to examine warehouse occupancy rates. The results indicate that use of GIS technology provides useful information for estimating occupancy rates, an important part of the valuation process. Further, GIS can also be used to produce maps to depict such information as where buildings are clustered and where buildings with different occupancy rates are located.
