“Commercial warehouse” as a label is broadly used to describe a number of types of commercial space typically offered for lease or rent.  For purposes of this article, we will use Five (5) main categories.

General Office/Warehouse – Typically grade level, this buildings cater to businesses which provide a product and need to receive material/items and ship out material items which may be at grade level or at dock high.  The dock loading on smaller freestanding buildings is usually facilitated thru use of in ground dock truck wells.

Bulk Distribution – Used for the distribution of palletized products in large volume, these buildings have true 4′ dock high loading with multiple doors, high clear height and fire protection systems.

Heavy Manufacturing – With grade level overhead doors and ample outside storage yard, these buildings often have large overhead cranes, heavy power and high clear heights.

Flex office/warehouse (also called service center space) – Heavy office ratio and  air-conditioned and heated areas used for tech or assembly are common with Flex space.  High parking ratios and generally higher end business park settings are also popular with this type.

Truck Terminal w/ cross dock – Used to transport goods quickly from container to container, this buildings are usually very shallow and long to allow for a very high number of offloading spaces and overhead doors.  Additionally, an abundance of trailer storage area is required along with staging yard.

These are some main categories of buildings in Commercial Warehouses which are found for Lease.
