What is a business loft?
In industrial and commercial real estate, a loft for rent is an upstairs space where a small business can conduct business affairs. More often than not, the loft for rent is used as a small office i.e. an independent insurance agent, a financial advisor, etc. It is almost always rented by a small business, and in today’s business world that small business is usually a home-based business which needs to expand into the actual commercial and industrial world.
Reasons why a loft for rent is worth considering.
Just a few reasons why a loft for rent is worth the time investigating:
- Increased value of the property (up to 20% increase). This is only if you are considering purchasing a building with a loft space, of course.
- Added storage space. As odd as it may sound, the truth if that walls take up space. Lofts are known for their open-space concept, which means more space for storage, more space for furniture, more space for creating and designing and manufacturing.
- Abundant natural light enhances focus and productivity. It doesn’t get any better with regards to natura light than a loft for rent, especially one with a large skylight in the ceiling.
- Industrial aesthetic with exposed brick and steel beams. If ambiance is your thing, and it should be if you are a business owner, a loft gives you a funky, artistic vibe which cannot be duplicated in any other commercial property for lease. Conduct business in a liberating environment, step out onto the deck and enjoy the view of the surroundings, enjoy a setting you will not find anywhere else. And, if you can find a loft which is zoned for residential and commercial use, you can call all of that funkiness your home in addition to your business.
Will it work for you?
We have painted a pretty picture of a loft for rent; obviously we think they are fantastic, a great alternative to the blandness often found in standard commercial property. However, a loft for rent is not always the solution for every business. If you rely heavily on foot traffic, the idea of climbing stairs to reach your loft may turn off some customers. There is also the matter of signage. A loft without eye-catching, street-level, signage is a loft which will not experience much walk-in business.
We cannot speak for you and your company, but we do think a loft is worth seeing before you categorically reject the idea. In Fort Worth, we invite you to visit Box Office Warehouse Suites where you will find a variety of lofts for rent in one of the fastest growing locations in all of Tarrant County.
