We help industrial distributors find, buy, and develop facilities that fit their operational needs.
Most distributors expanding into new markets have to assemble a team that doesn't talk to each other.
— What Cypress Point solves
Cypress Point closes that gap — a single advisory practice covering the full lifecycle from market identification to facility occupancy.
If you're in the industrial distribution space and responsible for real estate, you should have a relationship with Cypress Point. We understand why you prefer to lease. We know what your operation needs. And we move faster than any generalist.
Cypress Point operates where industrial distribution is growing — not just where we happen to have a license. Every market we work in is one we know from the ground up.
"Industrial distributors deserve a partner who understands their operation — not just their square footage."
Munroe has spent 30 years working at the intersection of industrial real estate and distribution operations. Before founding Cypress Point, he led the southern division of one of the nation's largest building materials distributors — managing hundreds of branch locations across multiple states, navigating every variation of industrial facility the market had to offer.
That experience made one thing clear: distributors expanding into new markets are chronically underserved by generalist brokers who don't understand the specific requirements of distribution facilities. Cypress Point was founded to close that gap.
"If you are in industrial distribution and responsible for real estate, you should have a relationship with Cypress Point."
— Munroe Best, Principal
Cypress Point works only with industrial distributors. That specialization means faster site qualification, fewer false starts, and better outcomes than any generalist could deliver.
Advisory fees are structured around project outcomes — not transaction volume. The right deal for the client is always the right deal for Cypress Point.
Every client works directly with Munroe — not an associate. The principal is in the room for every market review, site tour, and negotiation session.
Three phases. One partner. A clear line from market decision to operational facility — with the same advisor present at every stage. Nothing gets lost between phases.
Most distributors start with available properties. We start by evaluating whether the market is right for your operation.
We also acquire sale-only properties and structure leasebacks — so distributors get the facility without tying up capital.
Facilities specified for how your operation actually runs — dock ratios, clear heights, yard space, eave heights, column spacing.
When the same advisor who evaluated the market also negotiated the land and is now overseeing construction, nothing gets lost between phases. Your project doesn't restart.
We've worked inside distribution operations, not just around them. We specify facilities correctly without requiring the client to educate us from scratch.
There is one name on the engagement. Every deliverable, every recommendation, every site visit — directly from the principal. No junior team managing your expansion in the background.
Every project adds to a working knowledge of market conditions, site availability, and development costs. Clients benefit from pattern recognition built over decades.
"The 15–50K SF range is too big for most people to build and too small for institutional capital. That's the niche."
— Munroe Best on Industrial Outdoor Storage
Cypress Point works with a small number of clients at any given time. If you're an industrial distributor considering a new market, reach out.
Every engagement starts with a direct conversation. Tell us about your distribution operation and the market you're targeting. We'll tell you honestly whether there's a fit.
"Every engagement starts with the same question: what does your operation need — not what does the market have available."
