When is a container house a container office?
You’ll have to read on for that answer, but the answer is definitely worth finding.
Until recent years, shipping containers have been used for one of three purposes: to ship cargo, to use as a small rent a office option at construction sites, or to use as a container house for minimalists.
Until recent years . . . but in recent years, designers, developers, and other construction experts have come to realize the simplicity and genius of shipping containers, so that now you see container offices, warehouses, artist suites, makerspace, flex space, storage facilities, and retail stores.
And the surface has just been scratched! In the development business, this is called the shipping container revolution, and it’s only yet begun.
Why the revolution now?
Because now we have an environmentally-conscious public, and they have come to realize that thousands of board feet of lumber are saved by using previously-constructed shipping containers.
Because now we have a society moving towards minimalism, getting rid of the unnecessary, and embracing smaller spaces, and shipping containers are 320 square feet of very flexible space, perfect for small business and other small enterprises.
Because now we have millions of small-business owners who need to save money, and shipping containers are the least-expensive option for a workspace.
Because shipping containers are so amazingly flexible and transportable . . . you can literally stack them on top of one another, and you can transport them via trailer in the blink of an eye . . . you can’t do that with traditional offices or warehouses, now can you? Container buildings are revolutionary and practical.
So, when is a container house a container office?
Any old time Ron Sturgeon, and developers like him, decide to make the change.
Ron Sturgeon is somewhat of a legend in Fort Worth, Texas. He’s a rags-to-riches story, homeless to millionaire, and he currently owns over one-million square feet of industrial and commercial property in Tarrant County, Texas. You say successful developer in Tarrant County and folks will say Ron Sturgeon.
That’s who Ron Sturgeon is, and Ron has decided that shipping containers are darned near the perfect medium for commercial real estate. He’s so sure of that he built a new business park in the Alliance commercial area called Box Office Warehouse Suites, and the entire business park is made from refurbished and retrofitted shipping containers. Practical office suites for lease with an attitude.
Thirty-eight units made from 100 shipping containers, all bright colors, all having a bevy of amenities, all just about the coolest, hippest, funkiest business park you will ever see. And if Ron Sturgeon thinks it’s all going to be successful, you would be wise to place a bet in Ron’s favor at the local sports betting bar.
Shipping containers . . . container offices . . . container warehouses . . . container artist suites . . . container flex space . . . it’s all happening at Box Office Warehouse Suites, and if you ever wanted to catch a glimpse at the future, before the future happened, then take a look at what’s happening at Box Office Warehouse Suites.
