What is shipping container office space?
When looking to describe shipping container office space, it is easier to tell you what it is not: it is not post and beam construction, nor is it brick and mortar construction. We are talking about the shipping containers you see down by the docks, the ones loaded and ready to be placed on cargo ships, eight feet wide, forty feet long, made of metal. They are virtually indestructible, and anyone who has seen the aftermath of a hurricane or tornado can attest to that fact. A shipping container can be picked up by a F4 tornado and tossed a half mile away, and it will still be functional and in one piece.
That’s the kind of construction you want to trust day in and day out in an office rental.
Savings for you in shipping containers.
Using shipping containers for offices, or for that matter a retail space, a warehouse for rent, will save you money, simply because the “construction cost” of a shipping container is so much lower than post and beam construction. That savings is passed on to you, the professional looking to rent suitable, functional office space.
How much savings? Shop around for quality office space in Fort Worth, and you will find the leasing cost to be as high as ten bucks per square foot, sometimes higher. Our shipping containers, at Box Office Warehouse Suites, will run you between $3-$4 per square foot, or an office costing you in the $1000-$1200 range, an unheard of cost in the Fort Worth Metro area.
Are there negatives involved in leasing one?
Most likely the biggest negative associated with using a shipping container for an office has to do with their appearance. No doubt the standard shipping container is an utilitarian structure and not at al attractive. That is why we hired a famous designer from the East Coast to come out to Texas and design our units so they look comfortable, useful, and professional.
An office suite with a patio? We have them. An office suite with a balcony? We have them. And, the cherry on the top of this cake, we have painted them bright colors, and invited some of the best street artists to adorn our units with outstanding and visually pleasing artwork.
The result: Box Office Warehouse Suites has completely altered the preconceived notion of what a shipping container office space looks like.
