Stage 1 · Requirements
Space, height, power and access.
Four things for businesses taking industrial space, all dealt with directly.
Dealing with the owner means the person showing you the unit can answer what the roof is like, what the three-phase supply actually is, and whether the slab will take your racking — rather than relaying questions to someone who answers next week.
Space, height, power and access.
With someone who knows the building.
Answered on the spot where we can.
Proposed in writing, itemised.
What you will actually be doing.
What we understand is permitted.
With the authority, in writing.
Only once you know it works.
Industrial tenants get caught by use restrictions more than by rent. We will tell you what we understand the zoning to permit and then send you to the authority to confirm it, because our understanding is not a warranty and the consequence of being wrong falls on your business.
A low rent per square foot with heavy recoverable charges costs more than a higher rent without them, and industrial tenants usually discover that at the first reconciliation. Every recurring sum is itemised up front, and escalations are explained before anyone signs.
And what it genuinely includes.
CAM, taxes and insurance, itemised.
How and when rent moves.
Reviews it before you sign.
What is ours, written in the lease.
One contact, not a portal.
Urgency matched to the problem.
Maintained without being chased.
The test of an industrial landlord is a roof leak over racked stock. We maintain what the lease says we maintain, respond to it, and are clear in advance about where the boundary sits — because the arguments happen when nobody wrote the line down.
Ask what is available. Direct from the owner, with every charge stated up front.
