What We Do

Commercial Property Leasing & Acquisition Services

Owner-focused evaluation, screening, and representation across two tracks — five alternative leasing categories (solar, battery storage, fleet parking, contractor yard, and EV charging) and four active acquisition categories (IOS, small-bay industrial, self-storage, and RV / boat storage).

We do not sell or install equipment. We represent building owners only — for leasing and for property sales.

The Lead Wedge

Solar Roof / Site Leases

Flat commercial roofs leased to solar developers. A solar developer installs and owns the system — you receive passive lease income with no capital required. We evaluate roof size, age, condition, utility territory, and hosting capacity, then represent your interests through a competitive RFP process.

High-Upside Energy Infrastructure

Battery Storage Site Leases

Excess land, parking edges, and utility-adjacent parcels are actively sought by battery storage developers. Long-term ground leases with strong economics. Best where we can identify available land, local power constraints, and owners willing to host infrastructure.

Near-Term Brokerage Traction

Fleet Parking

Underused parking lots and fenced lots leased to logistics fleets, contractors, and service vehicles. Clear local demand with flexible lease terms. Users often need overflow parking quickly — making this a fast-moving opportunity for the right sites.

Overlooked but High Demand

Contractor Yard / Outdoor Storage

Fenced yards, gravel lots, and overflow land leased to equipment rental companies, contractors, and trade users. Overlooked by most agents — users value visibility, access, fencing, and functional outside storage. Strong fragmented demand with low complexity.

  • Charging site suitability assessment
  • Electrical capacity and upgrade potential review
  • Matching to public charging and fleet electrification operators

Beyond IOS — Active Buyer Demand

Additional Acquisition Opportunities

In addition to Industrial Outdoor Storage, institutional and specialized buyers are actively pursuing three related property types: small-bay / shallow-bay industrial buildings, self-storage conversions, and RV / boat storage facilities. These acquisitions target industrial land and underutilized buildings where buyers see outdoor-storage, conversion, or niche-storage upside. We screen your property against each buy-box, estimate value using active buyer criteria, and match you to the right acquirer.

Request a Property Evaluation

What This Includes

  • Small-bay / shallow-bay industrial — multi-tenant buildings with IOS conversion potential (3+ acres, low coverage, highway proximity)
  • Self-storage — land and building acquisitions or ground leases for drive-up storage conversion
  • RV / boat storage — secured yard acquisitions or leases, strong in Northeast coastal and lake markets
  • Screening against current institutional and specialized buyer criteria
  • Sale-leaseback structuring for owner-operators who want to monetize while staying in place
For All Categories

Owner Representation & RFP Process

Once a property is screened and determined viable in any category, we represent the owner through the full operator RFP process. We package the opportunity, identify qualified operators, manage the solicitation, review proposals, and support negotiations.

Request a Property Evaluation

What This Includes

  • Owner representation agreement — fiduciary duty to the owner
  • Professional site packet preparation
  • Qualified operator identification and targeted outreach
  • RFP management and proposal collection
  • Proposal review, comparison, and explanation
  • Owner retains full decision-making authority at every stage

Working With Mike Pelzar CRE

Important — Not Every Property Will Qualify

Final developer interest, lease value, PPA structure, and project feasibility depend on many factors — including roof condition and age, utility territory rules, interconnection availability, electrical hosting capacity, load profile, developer underwriting criteria, legal and title review, and owner approval. Mike Pelzar CRE makes no guarantee of qualification, developer interest, or any specific lease or contract terms. Our role is to screen the opportunity, represent the owner, and manage the RFP process — not to promise outcomes.
