AXI IMMO Group’s BTS (build to suit) services

BTS projects are recommended to clients looking for tailor-made solutions related to production, warehousing and logistics space, as well as technical, social and office infrastructure. AXI IMMO Group provides comprehensive advisory services in this area.

Build-To-Suit (BTS) schemes offer a wide range of opportunities in terms of location, size and technical and technological parameters. In BTS projects, the terms of cooperation with the developer can also be individually adjusted, from a traditional lease, a build to own (BTO) project, or building with the subsequent sale of the facility to the client.

BTO (build to own) projects

AAXI IMMO also advises on BTO projects, i.e. schemes built for the customer to own. These constitute an alternative for customers interested in a dedicated project in a BTS formula. The developer has an executive function, but his/her responsibility for the project is broader than that of the general contractor. He/she is responsible for the entire development process, from planning, through to administrative procedures, and handing over the facility to the end-user.

Building a facility in a BTO formula gives the occupier the option to sell the building through a sale and leasebacktransaction and to become a leasee of that facility. It is a solution that allows the owner-occupier to release capital in order to reinvest it in other areas of the company’s activities.
