Marketing and leasing industrial properties has always been a bit of a challenge. These spaces aren’t flashy like retail or hospitality, and photos alone often fail to capture the practical details that tenants and investors actually care about — things like ceiling height, dock door access, clear span dimensions, and power capacity.
That’s why more and more industrial property owners and brokers are turning to virtual tours to market their spaces — and getting results.
Industrial Properties Need More Than Just Photos
Industrial leasing is driven by functionality, not aesthetics. A set of listing photos can only tell so much. Tenants need to know:
- How trucks will move through the site
- Whether equipment can fit through doors and bays
- How much warehouse vs office space is available
- Whether the space allows for future expansion
A virtual tour solves these challenges by allowing prospective tenants to explore every inch of the property online — seeing the space from multiple angles, understanding dimensions in real time, and even viewing data overlays that add critical information directly to the tour.
The Power of Combining Virtual Tours with Data
With VidTech, you can go beyond a simple walk-through. We layer key data points right into the virtual tour, so anyone exploring the space can instantly see:
- Ceiling heights
- Power specs
- Dock and drive-in door counts
- Clear span widths
- Column spacing
- Zoning information
- Proximity to major highways, ports, and rail
This gives potential tenants and investors all the information they need to make fast, confident decisions, without needing a physical tour to get the basics.
Virtual Tours Speed Up Leasing
Industrial properties often turn over quickly — whether it’s a tenant growing into a bigger footprint or a manufacturer needing immediate space to fulfill a large contract.
With a virtual tour, you can pre-qualify tenants faster, cutting down on unnecessary site visits and shortening the leasing cycle. Tenants can send the virtual tour link directly to their logistics team, real estate advisors, and decision makers, streamlining internal approvals and accelerating deal timelines.
