Warehouse Features & Specs

Mezzanine

Also known as: mezzanine floor, warehouse mezzanine

Definition

A mezzanine is an intermediate floor built between the main floor and ceiling of a warehouse or building. It adds usable square footage, such as extra storage, office, or work area, by taking advantage of vertical space without expanding the building's footprint.

A mezzanine is a partial floor inserted between the ground floor and the ceiling. In a warehouse with good clear height, a mezzanine turns wasted vertical air into real, usable space.

Common mezzanine uses

  • Extra storage above the main floor
  • A small office overlooking operations
  • Packing or assembly stations
  • Break rooms or staff areas

Why it matters for small businesses

When you are growing, every square foot counts. A mezzanine lets you get more out of the same unit instead of paying for a larger footprint. It is one of the ways smart tenants maximize usable warehouse space.

WareSpace units are built with the clear height and features that make vertical space work for you, all on an all-inclusive, short-term lease. Book a tour to see the spaces in person.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mezzanine used for in a warehouse?
Warehouse mezzanines are used to add storage, office space, packing or assembly areas, or break rooms above the main floor. They turn unused vertical height into productive square footage.
Does a mezzanine count as square footage?
A mezzanine adds usable area, but whether it counts toward leasable or taxable square footage depends on local building codes and the lease. Always confirm how mezzanine area is measured and charged before signing.
