Industrial Properties and Land
With a long history of work with owners and occupiers of industrial real estate, Forte’s team has worked with manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and medical device/life sciences manufacturing companies locally and nationally. These companies have space with loading docks, high ceilings, extra power, and occasionally outdoor storage. Businesses often have significant equipment to support manufacturing, tooling, or clean rooms. Our team knows how to anticipate timelines and develop a process to help our clients find and occupy the space that is best for them.
With in-depth knowledge of all submarkets, we help clients find and evaluate the best real estate solution, whether executing new leases, renewing a lease, subleasing, renovating existing space, buying, or selling. Our advice is not contingent upon our clients completing a transaction. Our goal is to give our clients all the information they need to make the best decisions for their business.

“The team at Forte did a fantastic job! They asked us some great questions, listened closely to our responses, and provided excellent advice on how to proceed in bringing our unique property to market. Ultimately, Forte delivered outstanding results by finding the perfect buyer for us and facilitated the closing of the sale all within the same calendar year."

"Forte was an amazing team to work with and, despite the challenges, found us the perfect location for our first D-BAT location in the Twin Cities! Being right off I-94, our location is extremely convenient for all our customers in the east Metroplex, western Wisconsin, and surrounding baseball and softball communities. We look forward to working with the awesome Forte team on our second location soon!”

“I had the pleasure of working with both Joe and John on two occasions. Both times, they were so helpful in providing information and guiding me through the process. They went above and beyond on all the details and were always happy to answer my questions.”

"Forte found us a great location with the type of image and rent we wanted and did a great job negotiating the lease for us. We would hire them again and recommend others hire them too!"

“The Forte Real Estate Partners industrial team-Phil Simonet and John Young was our trusted partner throughout the sale of our property, which resulted in an outstanding experience. Selling real estate during a pandemic is not ideal. The Forte Team made it seem like business as usual.”
