3PL Perception vs. Reality
Traditional View
•Inexpensive, older buildings
•Low tech• MHE
• IT
•Most 3PLs are not credit worthy.
•Compete on price.
•Heavy penetration in apparel; automotive. Some industries do not use 3PLs.
3PLs Today
•Frequently in market for large, 32’/36’ clear, cross dock facilities, focused on class A.
•Often running mechanized facilities; leveraging IT acumen.
•Many 3PLs are financially strong-higher percentage of deals have the 3PL on lease.
•Still a price sensitive business, but error-free performance and safety are critical to many customers.
•3PL customer mix matches overall user profile.

3PL Real Estate Trends and Requirements
• Lease length tied to length of contract• Spec buildings may offer landlord more flexibility on lease length
• Need to react quickly• Often have to turn around an RFP in a short period of time• Need to be cognizant of buildings/space immediately• Need to be able to quantify operating costs
• Lots of dock capacity
• Access to highways• Frequently the “final mile” logistics is outsourced to 3PLs
• 3PLs remain focused on securing high quality class A product• The trend in the U.S. is towards 36’ clear heights

• Immediate occupancy
• Multi-channel distribution
• Lack of cross-dock facilities in major markets
• 3PLs need quality space and lower prices
• Who controls the lease?• The 3PL?• Their customer?
3PL Real Estate Challenges

3PL State and Local Incentive Challenges
• Timing to respond to RFP• Can the 3PL create competitive leverage by reducing their costs through incentives? • Can incentives be pre-negotiated with offer to remain for a fixed period of time?
•Who controls the capital investment?• The 3PL?• Their customer?
• Who owns the employees?• The 3PL? or Their customer?• Are the employees considered contract employees?

3PL State and Local Incentive Challenges

•Who controls the capital investment?• The 3PL?• Their customer?
• Who owns the employees?• The 3PL? or Their customer?• Are the employees considered contract employees?
• Short-term leases •Can incentives be negotiated for shorter periods? Most 3PLs are not signing leases greater than 5 years.

3PL State and Local Incentive Opportunities
Need to find a way to incent 3PLs for the period of time they are adding value to the state/community.
• If the incenting entity utilizes a 10-year ROI calculation, how can that be adjusted for shorter leases?
• Can incentives be approved with a phased approach to accommodate lease extensions and renewals?
• If the lease and employees are not held by the same taxing entity; how can benefits be realized?
• Can incentives be pre-negotiated with offer to remain for a fixed period of time to assist 3PL with responding to RFP?

3PLs are an industry that bring significant value to the states and communities in which they locate; however, unlike their customers, the 3PL’s investment and employment often does not quality for state and local support.
• 3PLs are the fastest growing segment – in terms of occupiers of industrial real estate.
• 3PLs have gained penetration in a wide variety of industries, and now mirror the overall market.
• States and communities must find a way to help offset the risk for the 3PLs just as they do for other industries
• Address timing
• Lease term
• Contract employees
