It’s important to have the right location and industrial rental space for your business. If your industrial rental space is in an inconvenient location or doesn’t have the right facilities to support your business or products, it can greatly hinder your business and shipping process. Consider your type of business and what things you’ll need in your rental space to support your business and employees. There are several different types of industrial rental spaces that could be great fits for your business.

The first thing, and probably one of the most important things to consider, is the location for your industrial rental space. Depending on what type of business you have, or the type products you’ll be storing, you’ll most likely want your industrial rental space to be within your service area. You can imagine how inconvenient having your industrial rental space in a location that’s far from or out of the way from your customers or clients. Once you decide a good geographical location for your space and determine what you’ll need in your space, you’ll next need to consider what type of industrial rental space you should look for.

Types of Rental Spaces

There are a few different types of commercial or industrial rental spaces that you may consider for your business. Determine the pros and cons of each possible space and what would be the best fit for your business and situation.

Business Park

Business parks mostly contain offices for service industries, such as doctors offices. If you plan to meet customers or potential clients, this may be a good location for your business. Most of the time, these office spaces are fully furnished and are located outside of the city within surrounding suburbs. A business park will have great access to main roads and highways without being surrounded by residential areas.

Industrial parks are also located outside of residential areas and urbanized zones, but still near main roads or highways. An industrial park is a great fit for manufacturing, construction, or other heavy industrial companies. Because of the zoning requirements that come with many of these industries, industrial parks tend to be quite large and sectioned by these zones. Industrial parks can contain offices as well, but are mainly purposed for industrial development or manufacturing products.

Commercial Retail Rental Space

This type of rental space will typically be a little more expensive than your other choices, but in return offer longer-term leases. A commercial retail space can come in various shapes and sizes, from a plaza, to a mall, to one large building. These properties can be occupied by a single business or can be shared by multiple tenants. These rental spaces are more likely to be found throughout a city or within suburban areas as well. In this type of rental property, you are more likely to find more traditional shops and stores that offer products or small services.

Commercial Office Building

You are likely to find commercial office buildings all over. These properties are a great fit for any company or office that needs a space for employees to work, or any business that might take in walk-in customers and clients. These property leases are also typically more expensive but also offer longer-term leases. A commercial office building will most likely include business offices and workspaces for employees, rather than shops or manufacturing areas. However, commercial office buildings can be found just about anywhere, so it’s a matter of finding one that fits all of your needs.
