2. Divisibility Choosing a space that has multiple doors makes it easier to divide between different internal departments or to share with someone else as a subtenant.




3. Global and Multimodal Connections

With the possible exception of small hyper-local facilities, your warehouse space should enjoy a location that gives it access to a wide range of shipping options.




4. The Right Clear HeightWhile the trend in big box distribution centers is to build them as tall as possible, a building with a clear height exceeding 40 feet might not be the right fit for you. Unless you can efficiently use that extra height, you might end up with a lower total cost of occupancy in a seemingly less desirable 24 or 30 foot building.




5. Adequate Lot SpaceMake sure that any warehouse space you look at offers ample room for employee parking and for trucks to not just enter and exit but also to maneuver and turn around.




6. Energy Efficient Lighting & HVAC Systems

High efficiency lighting and HVAC systems achieve significant savings, just due to the large quantity of space that needs to be lit and climate controlled.




Even the best site is only as good as the people that work in it. As such, look for warehouse spaces in markets that offer a skilled, low-cost workforce that is not subject to onerous local regulations.

7. Skilled, Affordable Labor
