What to Consider Before Leasing Industrial Space

Industrial space should be reviewed for how well the property supports the actual business operation.

Review the asking rent, annual increases, lease term, renewal options, and how the pricing compares to similar industrial inventory.

CAM & Expenses

Understand common area maintenance, taxes, insurance, utilities, exterior repairs, trash, security, and pass-through costs.

Industrial users should consider power, ventilation, equipment needs, machinery, lighting, loading efficiency, and any required modifications.

Dock access, drive-in doors, roll-up doors, truck courts, ramps, and circulation can make or break an industrial space.
