What do you need in a warehouse for rent?

Before you take a step further in this process, we want you to sit down and decide exactly what you need in a warehouse for rent?  Do you need bay doors and, if so, how many? Do you need a loading dock, or several loading docks? Do you need an office warehouse for rent rather than simply a storage warehouse?  And how large a warehouse do you need?

To answer that last question, you will need to do a little math. Follow these steps in determining size:

  • The pallet dimensions you are looking to store,
  • Number of pallets,
  • Number of dock doors
  • How many levels in the racking that you want to store
  • The length of the pallet rack beam
  • The width of the column

Do those computations and you will begin to understand how much room you will need. Rest assured, no matter what size you determine to be your optimum size, there is a warehouse for rent to meet your needs, from a tiny 300 square foot to a mammoth 300,000 square foot.

Best warehouse location in North Fort Worth.

All right, you know what you need regarding size and features.  Now you need to find the perfect location in the Fort Worth area, one which offers easy access to major arterials and roadways, preferably one outside the city limits, thus eliminating the need for a Certificate of Occupancy, and one which is in path for the future growth of this rapidly expanding city.

We turn your attention north to the Alliance Area, just outside the city limits, to one of the fastest growing industrial and commercial areas in Tarrant County, and there you will find the Fort Worth Design District, offering warehouses as small as 320 square feet and as large as 30,000 square feet, with options galore to choose from, and directly in the path of the proposed growth northward for Fort Worth commerce.

Best warehouse location in South Fort Worth.

Another location, also in the path of future growth, but this time southward, is in the Alvarado area just south of Fort Worth, located in Johnson County.  Again, in the path of proposed growth planning, again with easy access to major roads . . . we are talking about 917 Industrial Park, with properties available ranging in size from 1200 square feet to 20,000 square feet.

It is important to note that we are not just sharing our opinion about future growth in Alvarado and the Alliance Area; we are sharing information about growth which is common knowledge among area planners, developers, and city leaders. Fort Worth Metro is oversaturated, it is growing rapidly, and that growth needs to go somewhere. That somewhere is north and south to the two areas we just shared with you.  Fact, not fiction, and if you want an affordable warehouse for rent, those two “facts” are worth strongly considering.
