A common misconception about a typical warehouse for rent is that it is large and expensive.

That misconception is not true in 2024; in fact, the trend is towards much smaller warehouses than what we are all accustomed to seeing on the landscape of America.  Which brings us to this new truth: whatever size warehouse for rent you need, chances are you can find it, and find it at a price you can afford.

We are RDS Real Estate, serving the Greater Fort Worth area with affordable industrial space and commercial property for rent. Call us at 817-439-3224 for more information and to arrange for a tour of properties in Tarrant, Parker, and Johnson Counties.

Warehouse for rent size range in 2024 and beyond.

Forget about the behemoth concrete structures of the past. Those days are gone. Sure, they still exist in industrial parks, but the trend is now leaning towards small industrial space geared towards small businesses.

We can, in fact, show you a warehouse for rent, or office warehouse for rent, which is only 320-square-feet in size, found at Box Office Warehouse Suites, in North Fort Worth. We can show you properties ranging from 1200-to 12,000 square feet at 917 Industrial Park in Alvarado.

Contractors and developers finally caught on to the fact that businesses are smaller these days; the need for warehouse space is still strong, but that need is for under 10,000 square feet rather than over 10,000 square feet.  And if you live in an area where small warehouses are not available, we suggest you consider a storage unit for a temporary solution to your warehousing needs.

What do you need? What will you need?

These, then, are the questions you need to ask. What do you need now, and what will you need in the foreseeable future?  If the answer to the first question is 2,000 square feet, will that size be sufficient in two yeas when your business has grown?  And what if you rent larger than you currently need, in anticipation of growth, and that growth does not happen?  Very few small companies can afford to pay monthly rent on property not used. What to do then?

We believe flexibility is the key in leasing industrial space.

A good real estate broker/leasing agent can walk you through this dilemma.  For instance, renting a warehouse for rent which is next door to another empty warehouse is a possible solution.  You can ask for an option on that second warehouse, the first right of refusal, should someone else become interested in that second warehouse. This will give you adjacent properties should you need them, the comforting knowledge that should you need more room, it is there for you, and yet you are not paying for that extra space until the need arises.

Commercial and industrial real estate is very competitive in 2024 and will be more so in the future.  Property owners are motivated to make a deal happen, and that calls for them to be creative and flexible with prospective clients.  What do you have to lose by floating a creative idea out there? The worst that can happen is you will be told no.
