Finding a small office shop is not a problem, so set those fears aside. If you live in a large city like we do, Fort Worth, Texas, office shops seem as plentiful as bluebells in the summer. The real task is to find one which fits your needs and budget. That is not nearly as easy to do, but in this article, we will give you a few tips which should make the task a whole lot easier.
We are Box Office Warehouse Suites, located in the Fort Worth Design District, Alliance Area, North Fort Worth, and small office shops are, to borrow a baseball term, right in our wheelhouse. We specialize in small properties for small businesses, so call us at 817-439-3224 for more information.
Your small office shop criteria.
Before you grab the phone and call a real estate agent/broker, you need to know what you need to know, namely the exact types of small office shop. How large of an office space for lease do you need? How large of a shop space for rent do you need? They come in all sizes and shapes, so be specific in this because you are charged the monthly lease payment based on the size of the unit. In other words, if all you need is 1200 square feet, don’t bother looking at units which are 2000 square feet. That extra 800 feet will bleed dollars and cents over the span of a year.
What else do you need? Rest room? Storage room? Large parking lot? Walk-in traffic? Good drive-by traffic? Bay doors? Loading dock? And what about the zoning? Finding the “perfect” shop space in an area where your business type is not allowed due to zoning will be an exercise in futility.
So sit down, make a list, check it twice, and then become aware of the options you have.
Small shops are plentiful and varied.
Yes, there are traditional office shops, or office warehouse for rent, options in most business parks. We have many at our sister business park in Alvarado, 917 Industrial Park, with properties starting at 1200 square feet. And if you give us five minutes we can come up with one-hundred other “traditional” warehouse for rent, or shop for rent, options.
But what about thinking outside the box? You have quite a few unique designs and approaches you can also consider.
Still unsure? Get creative!
Our own Box Office Warehouse Suites offers office shops, starting at 320 square feet, all made from recycled shipping containers, and because the construction costs are so low, we are able to offer units starting at a low $995 per month.
Or, what about leasing undeveloped property, and putting a shipping container on that property? Or how about some of those new, prefab buildings, the pods, or the cubes, which are very inexpensive, take up very little space, can easily be moved, and are eye-catching? It is entirely possible that it would cost less to lease property and buy the prefab than it would be to lease an existing building.
The choices and options are seemingly endless, especially if you live in a large city. Take the time to learn your options. Decide which is best for your vision and your budget.
