What are some of the differences between shallow bay industrial and flex space?

Shallow Bay Industrial Properties:

Size and Build:
Typically range from 5,000 to 200,000 square feet, designed for distribution, light manufacturing, and last-mile logistics. They often have a more traditional industrial layout with a focus on functionality for warehousing or manufacturing.
Ceiling Heights and Loading:
These properties might have ceiling heights around 24-32 feet, with a mix of dock-high and grade-level loading options, suited for logistics and warehousing needs.
Tenant Profile:
Caters to smaller, hyper-local or regional tenants with specific space requirements, often with lease terms of 3-5 years. These tenants might include businesses directly involved in product distribution or assembly.
Location:
Often found on the outskirts of urban areas but strategically placed for efficient distribution, especially as e-commerce has increased the demand for proximity to consumers.

Flex Industrial Properties:

Flexibility in Use:
These properties are designed to be adaptable, blending office, warehouse, and sometimes even light manufacturing space. They can range from 5,000 to 100,000 square feet, making them suitable for various business types.
Design Features:
Flex properties generally have a higher percentage of office space compared to pure industrial buildings, with ceiling heights between 14-24 feet, and are equipped with more amenities like parking and landscaping. They might include overhead loading doors, but with a focus on versatility.
Tenant Profile:
Attracts a broader tenant base, including tech companies, small businesses, or any operation needing both office and warehousing capabilities. The shorter lease terms (12-24 months, or even month-to-month) allow for quick adjustments in space usage.
Cost and Accessibility:
They offer cost efficiencies due to their smaller scale and the ability to adjust to market rent changes quickly. Flex properties are also in demand for their location near urban centers, providing easy access to both workforce and markets.
