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.

Definition

What is Industrial space?

Industrial space in Nashville can vary widely by layout, size, building type, and lease structure. The right fit depends on how you plan to use the space day to day.

Typical use

Industrial space supports a range of business needs depending on layout, location, and access.

What varies most

Best way to start

Begin with size and use-case, then narrow by neighborhood, accessibility, and cost.

Budgeting

What to budget for beyond rent

Base rent

The headline rate is just the starting point. Understand how rent escalates over time.

Operating expenses

CAM, NNN, taxes, insurance, utilities, and janitorial can significantly impact total cost.

Upfront costs

Deposits, moving, furniture, internet setup, and possible improvements add up quickly.

Flexibility tradeoffs

Shorter terms and turnkey spaces are easier, but often come at a higher effective rate.

Planning

A practical leasing timeline
