For many industrial operators, the company’s most valuable asset (real estate) is also the least productive. Millions of dollars in equity remain trapped in concrete and steel, while high-return priorities, such as equipment, automation, inventory, or market expansion, compete for limited capital. A build-to-suit (BTS) triple-net (NNN) lease is a proven solution for financing new, purpose-built facilities. But what if your facility already exists and needs to be modernized or adapted for a new purpose?

For high-risk endeavors, such as Ammonia Process Safety Management (PSM) program development and execution, understanding performance gaps and having the right teams in place are crucial.

To compete with and meet rigorous market and regulatory requirements, many industrial operators require new purpose-built facilities that precisely match their specific process flows, utility demands, and site conditions. The question is how to balance the competing capital needs of high-return, high-dollar priorities, such as automation, equipment, inventory, or market expansion, against the cost of developing and constructing a modern, high-performing, customized facility.

The cost of a major ammonia release is so great, it makes the business case for investing in an advanced prevention program.
