What is the difference between flex space and industrial space? Although they are both industrial space in the traditional sense, there are some very specific differences between the two, and those differences will be the topic for this article by Box Office Warehouse Suites, serving North Fort Worth and the Alliance area with outstanding values in flex space, industrial space, and commercial property for lease. Call us at 817-439-3224 for more information.
What is flex space?
Flex space can be loosely defined as any building (typically single story) that has some sort of combination of warehouse for rent with office/retail space.
These units often have a warehouse door or loading dock with a higher ceiling height – typically around 14-16 feet tall.
Flex warehouses come in all shapes and sizes and, because they have such variable uses, these types of buildings are very attractive to an array of businesses seeking space.
What is industrial space?
“Industrial space” is more commonly used to identify a building used for manufacturing, production, fabrication, assembling and conducting meetings. And, while industrial space can also include warehousing tasks, it doesn’t always have to be a warehouse property.
Confused yet?
There is obvious overlap between the two definitions, and it is that overlap which causes confusion among business owners looking for industrial property for lease.
To put it in simpler terms, flex space is industrial space which gives you more options during the course of your daily operations. The only word of caution we can give you is to make sure you are aware of the zoning regulations wherever you may rent property. A qualified professional real estate broker can guide you through this and find the right property for your specific needs.
Which is right for you?
Don’t get hung up on labels. Flex space, industrial space, warehouse for rent, shop for rent, office warehouse for rent, these are all just labels to help differentiate one property from another. Be clear on what you want, talk to a professional who is intimately knowledgeable about your area, and turn them loose to find the property just right for you.
