Flex buildings are versatile commercial properties that typically combine office, warehouse, and light industrial space. For many users, Flex properties offer advantages for businesses that have some unique components to their operations or are cost sensitive. Some examples include outdoor or field work, storage, and specialized equipment needs. A lack of recent development in this product category, coupled with high demand, has spiked rental rates compared to the past, but this category remains very desirable. Navigating the flex market can be challenging due to varying office to warehouse ratios, zoning restrictions, and limited inventory. A knowledgeable commercial real estate broker can help you identify the right property, source off-market opportunities, and negotiate favorable lease or purchase terms, and ensure the space aligns with your operational goals.
