Industrial and flex space
With warehouses and flex space, the building's physical specifications decide whether your operation works. I match the specs to the way you actually run.
Industrial and flex space
With warehouse, manufacturing, and flex space, the building is a tool. Whether it works depends on physical details: how high you can stack, how trucks load and turn, how much power is available, and how quickly you can reach the freeway.
A building that falls short on one of these can limit the business for the length of the lease. One with more than you need means paying for capacity you will never use.
I help distributors, contractors, manufacturers, and e-commerce businesses match building specifications to how they operate, and I work with investors buying industrial property.
Who I help
Distributors and e-commerce
You store and ship goods. I focus on ceiling height, loading, and freeway access.
Contractors and trades
You need shop space, a yard, and room for vehicles. I look for sites that allow outside storage.
Light manufacturers
You run equipment that needs power, ventilation, and floor strength. I confirm the building can support it.
On your side at every step
Translate operations into specifications
Height, doors, power, yard, and office space.
Shortlist buildings
Only those that meet your requirements.
Check access
Truck routes, turning room, and distance to major roads.
Review restrictions
Permitted uses, outside storage, and hours.
Negotiate
Rent, repairs, improvements, and expansion rights.
Coordinate move-in
I track landlord work and delivery dates.
How it works, step by step
Operational requirements
Week 1We list what your operation needs: storage method, vehicles, equipment, staff, and growth plans.
Property shortlist
Weeks 1 to 3I present buildings with their specifications and costs.
Site visits
Weeks 2 to 4We tour with your operations lead, who can test the layout against real workflow.
Letter of intent
Weeks 4 to 6I submit proposals covering rent, term, repairs, and any improvements.
Lease or purchase negotiation
Weeks 6 to 10Your attorney reviews documents while I negotiate business terms.
Move-in
2 to 8 weeksRacking, equipment, and any office improvements are installed.
Paying more for height can cost less
Two 10,000 square foot warehouses:
Building A: 18-foot clear height at $9.00 per sq ft. Annual rent: $90,000. Storage volume: 180,000 cubic feet.
Building B: 28-foot clear height at $10.50 per sq ft. Annual rent: $105,000. Storage volume: 280,000 cubic feet.
Takeaway: Building B costs 17 percent more but holds 55 percent more. If you stack high, the taller building is the cheaper way to store goods.
Illustration only. Usable height depends on racking and sprinkler requirements.
What to budget for
The terms that matter
Clear height
The usable height beneath the lowest beam, light, or sprinkler. It determines how high you can stack and how much the building holds.
Loading
Dock-high doors let trailers load at floor level. Grade-level doors suit vans, box trucks, and driving vehicles inside.
Power
Machinery often needs three-phase power and higher capacity. Have an electrician confirm what is there before you sign.
Truck court and parking
Large trucks need room to turn and back in. Check trailer parking and staff parking as well.
Outside storage
Many properties and leases restrict storing materials or vehicles outdoors. Confirm what is allowed.
Flex space
A unit combining office and warehouse, suited to businesses that need both under one roof.
Sprinklers and floors
High stacking and heavy equipment can require specific sprinkler systems and floor strength.
Maintenance responsibility
Industrial leases often make the tenant responsible for more repairs than office or retail leases. Have systems inspected before you commit.
What is negotiable
Have these ready
- The size and ceiling height you need
- Number and type of loading doors
- Power requirements for your equipment
- Vehicle and trailer counts
- Outside storage needs
- Office space required
- Preferred areas and freeway access
- Business financial statements
What to avoid
- — Not checking truck turning room on site.
- — Assuming the power supply is adequate.
- — Measuring ceiling height to the roof instead of the lowest obstruction.
- — Overlooking limits on outside storage.
- — Taking on repair duties without inspecting the systems.
- — Leasing with no room to grow.
