A warehouse is a warehouse, right? Actually, no. There are a number of factors that differentiate one big building from the next, and knowing the differences can help you save a lot of money. When the goal is locating a warehouse that meets your needs and nothing more, and securing it at a competitive lease rate with favorable terms for you as the tenant, being very clear of warehouse categories and classifications is the first step. That’s why we prepared a spreadsheet outlining the differences between class A, B and C warehouses. It’s a free guide that will help you determine what warehouse class is the best fit for your needs, which means a clearer understanding of which available properties are worth considering.
A golden rule in real estate is location, location, location, and this is no different for the industrial and commercial side. Varying jurisdictions mean varying authorities governing those jurisdictions, and that’s a factor you’ll want to note, along with whether a warehouse is situated in a flood plane or if it’s AE, X or X shaded. Beyond that, individual characteristics of a warehouse, including but not limited to base rent, operating costs, eave height, sprinkler systems, column spacing, truck courts, trailer parking and dock count, will separate one from the next. Understanding which warehouse characteristics pertain to which classification means you can eliminate facilities that won’t serve your need, saving you both time and money.
