Guide
What to know about industrial space
Industrial users often prioritize functionality first, including loading, clear height, yard access, power, circulation, and transportation connections.
Typical lease terms
Industrial leases often skew longer, especially for warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, or specialized operational uses.
Common lease structures
Many industrial leases are structured as triple net, though terms can vary based on property type, age, and local market conditions.
What to compare
Review dock and grade loading, clear height, column spacing, office finish, yard area, freeway access, and zoning before comparing price alone.
