WHAT IS A SPEC BUILDING?

A speculative (spec) building is a partially completed building that is constructed to attract a prospect, but leaves many portions incomplete to allow for the buyer/industry to adapt to their specific needs. At a minimum, it has walls and a roof. The advantage of a spec building is to provide a shorter construction time than a new construction facility, and allows the company to get up and running – and make money – faster. A spec building also generates prospect traffic (inquiries and visits) to your community.
