Frequently asked questions
How much does a small warehouse cost?
And other really important questions.
How much does it cost to rent a small warehouse?
WareSpace units start at $1,000/mo, all-inclusive. That one flat fee covers property taxes, building maintenance, utilities, WiFi, HVAC climate control, racking, shared loading dock access, and amenities. No CAM charges, no triple-net (NNN) surprises, no hidden fees.
What's the difference between all-inclusive rent and a traditional NNN lease?
A traditional triple-net (NNN) warehouse lease quotes a low base rent, then layers on property taxes, common-area maintenance (CAM), insurance, utilities, and repair costs, so your real monthly number is unpredictable. WareSpace is the opposite: one transparent monthly fee with everything included, so you have a single number to budget for and no surprises in the fine print.
How big are the units, and can I change size later?
Units range from about 200 to 2,000+ square feet, small enough that people often search for a mini warehouse or micro-warehouse for rent, but built out like a real warehouse with loading docks and racking. Because we run short-term 6- and 12-month terms, you can size up or size down as your business changes, with a new 6-12 month term when you transfer. You get space that fits today without outgrowing it tomorrow.
Do I need a personal guarantee or a long-term lease?
No. There are no personal guarantees, no guarantor requirements, and no multi-year commitments. Leases run 6 to 12 months. You can tour, choose a unit, and move in the same day.
Is WareSpace shared warehouse space or a private unit?
Both. You get your own private, lockable warehouse unit, plus shared warehouse space for the expensive parts, loading docks, HVAC climate control, industrial racking, restrooms, a kitchen and lounge, and conference rooms. That makes it a flexible base for inventory storage, fulfillment, a workshop, or light manufacturing, without paying to build out docks and amenities yourself.
What's included with every unit?
Every WareSpace unit comes turnkey: shared loading docks, HVAC climate control, 24/7 secure access, industrial racking, pallet jacks and equipment, WiFi, electrical, restrooms, a kitchen and lounge, and conference rooms. Loading docks and climate control are standard, not the costly add-ons they are with most small-bay landlords. Plus an on-site General Manager at every location.
Where is WareSpace located?
WareSpace operates 30+ locations across 14 states, with new buildings opening regularly. Each facility is a converted industrial property built specifically for small businesses, so there's likely a small warehouse for rent near you.
What can I run from a WareSpace unit, and what isn't allowed?
Most storage, fulfillment, distribution, and light commercial uses are a fit. A few uses need General Manager approval first, such as last-mile delivery, coffee roasting, or battery storage, and a handful aren't permitted, including auto repair, indoor vehicle storage, food manufacturing, welding or spray painting, and crypto-mining. See the full acceptable use policy at warespace.com/resources/acceptable-use, or tell us what you do and we'll confirm your fit before you sign.
