We own the building we are in right now -- but this new building had a 9 million dollar build out by a previous tenant (Sprint) -- including a full-building UPS system, 2 megawatt generator, power distribution, 2 x 100hp compressors, furniture, etc. etc. So we decided to lease this space -- it fit perfectly into our production requirements.

lol, I think I'll pass on this "opportunity" for now. I don't think I want any "returns" to be had after drinking a lot of beer.

That generator could be used to generate some income. Where I used to work, our generator was oversized for our needs, so we "sold" excess emergency power to the units connected to ours, and we did not guarantee uptime (to prevent lawsuit if the generator failed to operate their equipment). The UPS battery system was isolated from them though.
