Definition
A turnkey investment refers to a property that is fully operational and ready for immediate use upon purchase or lease.
A turnkey investment in industrial real estate refers to a property that is fully developed, operational, and ready for immediate occupancy or use upon acquisition. This concept primarily caters to investors and logistics operators seeking streamlined entry without the delays and uncertainties often associated with pre-construction or vacant developments. Turnkey properties typically come with completed infrastructure, certified building standards, appropriate tenant fit-outs, and all necessary operating licenses. In the context of industrial and logistics real estate, turnkey investments enable hassle-free asset deployment, ensuring rapid commencement of logistical operations or rental income generation. The turnkey approach minimizes the capital and time commitment required for property activation, reduces developmental risks, and facilitates predictable cash flow from day one. For institutional investors and asset managers, turnkey industrial assets offer a transparent, stabilized investment profile with lower operational complexities. This strategy aligns with the demand for modern, well-located distribution centers and warehouse facilities in the Central and Eastern European market, where speed-to-market and operational readiness are critical competitive advantages.
