Explore leasing and sale opportunities for your commercial property.
I help owners evaluate potential uses, connect with relevant tenants and buyers, and negotiate a transaction that fits their goals.
Generate lease income
Lease a roof, parking lot, yard, or excess land to solar, storage, fleet, contractor, or EV charging tenants.
Explore a sale
Sell to buyers actively acquiring IOS, small-bay industrial, self-storage, or RV / boat storage sites.
Compare my options
Not sure which fits? Screen your property across both leasing and sale paths before deciding.
Licensed CRE agent · Owner representation only · We do not sell or install equipment.
Lease the Space You Keep, or Sell the Real Estate
Both paths start from the same place: understanding what your property qualifies for. You can pursue one, the other, or compare both before deciding.
Keep the Property, Lease the Space
Generate income from a roof, parking lot, yard, or excess land — leased to solar, storage, fleet, contractor, or EV charging tenants. No equipment to buy or install.
Sell to Active Buyers
Sell the real estate to buyers actively acquiring industrial outdoor storage and related sites — often via sale-leaseback, so owner-operators can stay in place.
A Preliminary Screening, Not a Sales Pitch
Every property starts with a no-obligation preliminary screening across both leasing and sale paths. Here's what that review covers — and what it doesn't.
Initial screening
A desktop review of your property facts — location, size, zoning, utility access, and current use — checked against leasing and acquisition criteria.
Possible uses
Which leasing categories or acquisition tracks plausibly fit your site, and which clearly don't. You get an honest read, not a sales pitch.
Unresolved questions
What still needs to be confirmed — zoning status, utility capacity, environmental conditions, lease or title issues — before anything is actionable.
Next steps
A recommendation on whether to proceed to detailed feasibility, move toward operator or buyer outreach, or pause. You decide what happens next.
Preliminary screening vs. detailed feasibility. This first review is a screening — not an appraisal, engineering study, or offer. Detailed feasibility work (site engineering, utility studies, zoning confirmation, environmental review, title and lease review) comes later, only if it makes sense to move forward, and may involve third parties you choose to engage.

Property Review — Sample
Hypothetical Industrial Parcel
Property Facts
Parcel size
~4 acres (owner estimate)
Building
~30,000 sq ft warehouse
Location
Highway-adjacent industrial corridor
Zoning
Industrial (outdoor storage allowed?)
Utility
Three-phase power on site
Environmental
No Phase I completed
Owner Objectives
- Generate income from a yard that currently sits unused
- Curious whether a sale could make sense given current buyer demand
- No timeline pressure — wants to understand options before committing
Key Constraints
- Outdoor storage zoning not yet confirmed
- Environmental review not completed
Potential Uses
Contractor yard / outdoor storage lease
Plausible — yard size, access, and highway location fit typical user requirements.
Needs zoning confirmation
Fleet parking lease
Possible — secured lot and truck access are the main questions.
Needs fencing / access review
Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) sale
Plausible — size and highway proximity fit buyer buy-boxes; coverage and zoning unconfirmed.
Needs coverage + zoning confirmation
Solar roof lease
Unlikely — roof area appears below typical developer minimums.
Roof area to confirm
Evidence Status
Each finding is labeled by how well it's supported. Most items here are estimates or assumptions pending confirmation — nothing in this sample is verified as actionable.
Next Steps
- 1Confirm zoning for outdoor storage and current building coverage
- 2Order an aerial / survey to verify parcel and yard dimensions
- 3Decide whether to pursue leasing, a sale, or both in parallel
This sample is illustrative only. Your actual review reflects your property's verified facts, market, and goals.
Commercial Real Estate + Clean-Energy Experience, Applied to Your Decision
Mike Pelzar is a licensed Connecticut commercial real estate agent who represents property owners — not developers, equipment vendors, or installers. His background spans commercial real estate and commercial & industrial (C&I) clean energy, including direct experience in solar site development, battery storage, and energy infrastructure.
That background shapes how he works with owners. It means asking better qualification questions up front, interpreting operator and buyer requirements in practical terms, and helping coordinate the moving parts of a lease or sale so you can make a clearer decision.
Based in Connecticut, serving commercial property owners across CT, MA, RI, and NY — for both alternative leasing and property sales.
Sharper qualification questions
Clean-energy and CRE experience means Mike asks the questions that reveal whether a use is real for your site — not just the questions that move a deal along.
Requirements, interpreted
Operator and buyer criteria are translated into plain terms, so you understand what a tenant or acquirer actually needs before you commit to anything.
Coordinated decisions
Leasing and sale paths often overlap. Mike helps you weigh both together — timing, trade-offs, and what to pursue, pause, or decline.
Income Beyond the Building
Five ways to generate income from space you keep — the leasing track. Owners can also sell qualifying industrial or outdoor-storage property through our parallel acquisition track.
Solar Roof / Site Leases
Flat commercial roofs leased to solar developers. Passive income, no cost to the owner.
Strongest where you can package roof area, utility, tenant load profile, and owner control.
Learn More
Battery Storage Site Leases
Excess land or parking edges leased to storage developers on long-term ground leases.
Best where you can identify available land, local power constraints, and willing hosts.
Learn More
Fleet Parking
Underused parking lots and fenced lots leased to logistics fleets, contractors, and service vehicles.
Easier near-term traction — users need overflow parking with flexible terms and convenient access.
Learn More
Contractor Yard / Outdoor Storage
Fenced yards, gravel lots, and overflow land leased to equipment rentals, contractors, and trades.
Overlooked by most agents — users value visibility, access, fencing, and functional outside storage.
Learn More
EV / Fleet Charging Site Leases
Parking lots and fleet depots leased to EV charging operators. Direct lease or revenue share.
Strongest where a parking asset can evolve into charging, energy storage, and long-term infrastructure income.
Learn MoreSell the Real Estate to Active Buyers
Four acquisition categories — the sale side of the practice, running in parallel with leasing. Owners can pursue a sale, a lease, or compare both before deciding.
Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS)
Truck terminals, drop yards, equipment yards, and container storage — sold to institutional buyers actively acquiring outdoor-storage sites.
Strongest with 2+ improved acres, low building coverage, and interstate proximity.
Learn More
Small-Bay / Shallow-Bay Industrial
Single-story multi-tenant buildings with 2,000–5,000 sq ft bays — acquired for IOS conversion or multi-tenant income.
Best with low coverage, 16–24 ft clear heights, and trailer-accessible doors.
Learn More
Self-Storage
Industrial land and underutilized buildings acquired or ground-leased for conversion to drive-up self-storage facilities.
Highway visibility, drive-up access, and self-storage zoning drive buyer interest.
Learn More
RV / Boat Storage
Secured outdoor yards acquired or leased to store recreational vehicles and boats — strong in coastal and lake markets.
Pull-through access, secure fencing, and recreational-market proximity drive value.

Specialized. Owner-First. No Equipment Sales.
A CRE agent who screens each property across leasing and sale paths — and works only for the property owner, never the tenant, buyer, or developer.
Owner-Facing Review
Every review starts with your goals and property facts — not a product to sell or a listing to push.
Both Sides Understood
Familiar with what tenants and buyers actually need, so your property is matched to real demand — not wishful outreach.
Licensed CRE Agent
Licensed representation and structured deal experience, working only for the property owner.
Leasing + Sales Expertise
Understands five leasing categories and four acquisition tracks — and how each tenant or buyer underwrites a site.
Consistent Screening
Each property is reviewed across the same leasing and sale criteria, so obvious fits aren't missed and nothing is overstated.
Owner-First, Always
No equipment sales. No tenant or buyer bias. The recommendation follows your interests, not a commission.
Many owners never check the spaces beyond the listed suite. Mike evaluates roofs, parking lots, yards, and excess land alongside a possible sale — so you can decide with the full picture rather than a partial one.

Important — Not Every Property Will Qualify
Final lease value, sale price, developer or buyer interest, and project feasibility depend on many factors — including roof condition and age, utility territory rules, interconnection availability, electrical hosting capacity, load profile, buyer underwriting criteria, zoning, environmental and title review, and owner approval. Mike Pelzar CRE makes no guarantee of qualification, developer or buyer interest, or any specific lease terms or sale price. Our role is to screen the opportunity, represent the owner, and manage the leasing RFP or acquisition process — not to promise outcomes.
