Mandeville is home. We’re based right here, and it’s where we’d most expect to buy. When you call, you’re reaching the people who’ll walk your building and sit across from you at the closing — not a call center and not an out-of-state operator who found your address on a list.

The Mandeville market

Mandeville’s industrial inventory is modest and spread out, which is exactly why so much of it trades quietly. The commercial and light-industrial activity concentrates along the US-190 corridor and the newer development that has grown up around the I-12 interchange, while Old Mandeville near the lakefront stays residential and historic. The Causeway puts Mandeville within commuting distance of New Orleans, and that steady inflow of residents has pulled a deep bench of service trades onto the Northshore — the HVAC contractors, cabinet shops, fabricators, and supply businesses that occupy small-bay buildings.

There is very little new small-bay industrial construction inside the city, so most of what changes hands is older, owner-occupied stock — buildings that someone put up to run a business out of and has held for twenty, thirty, or forty years. Those owners are rarely working with a CRE broker, and the buildings rarely hit the MLS. They sell through a direct conversation, which is how we prefer to buy.

If you own one of those buildings and you’re thinking about what comes next — retirement, a wind-down, or simply being done managing it — that’s the conversation we’d like to have. We underwrite the condition, the insurance, and the flood picture; you don’t have to fix anything first.

Frequently asked questions


Do you buy warehouses in Mandeville?

Yes — Mandeville is our home base. We are local and buy small-bay industrial, flex, and office-warehouse buildings across the city and the surrounding St. Tammany Parish corridor. Owner-occupied shops along the US-190 corridor and the light-industrial pockets off I-12 are exactly the kind of building we are looking for.

Can I sell my warehouse as-is?

Yes. We buy AS-IS. Roof, HVAC, foundation, deferred maintenance, vacant suites — none of that needs to be addressed before we agree on a number. The offer reflects the condition. You do not have to clean it out, paint it, or replace anything before closing.

How long does it take to close on a commercial sale?

Thirty to forty-five days on clean files, sometimes faster. The schedule on a typical warehouse sale: a 15-minute discovery call within a business day, written underwriting in 3–5 days, a site visit within a week if it pencils, a written LOI in 10–14 days, then a standard 30-day due diligence period to close. A brokered listing usually runs 4–9 months from list to close; a direct sale removes the marketing period, the financing-contingent buyer pool, and most of the re-trading.

Are you going to relist my building?

No. We are a long-term hold owner. We buy small-bay industrial to keep, not to flip or wholesale. When we close on your building, we are the next owner — not the middleman. Your tenants and the relationships you have built with them stay in place.

Do I need a broker to sell my warehouse?

No. You can sell directly to a buyer. If you come direct, there is no commission deducted from your proceeds. If you already have a broker representing you, we pay the standard commission per their agreement with you. Either way, the commission does not come out of your pocket.

Why sell to a direct buyer instead of listing with a broker?

Three reasons. Speed and certainty: a direct sale runs 30–45 days, while a broker listing typically runs 4–9 months and exposes you to buyers who walk during due diligence. Discretion: no public listing, no MLS, no signage, no buyer tours — the conversation stays between us. And commission: a direct sale means no listing-agent commission deducted from your proceeds. We are not the highest offer on every building. We are the most certain.

Is the process confidential?

Yes. The process is fully confidential — no public listing, no MLS, no signage, no marketing of your building. We do not list properties we are buying. The conversation, the offer, and the closing are between us. An NDA is available on request if you would prefer one in writing.
