Frequently asked questions

What is flex space?

Flex space is a single-story commercial building that combines a small office or showroom area with open warehouse or shop space, usually with a roll-up (grade-level) door. It's popular with contractors, light manufacturers, distributors and creative businesses.

How much does flex space cost in Austin?

Rents vary by area, age and size. Austin-area flex and small-bay industrial is generally quoted per square foot per year on a NNN (triple net) basis, plus operating expenses. Ask each landlord for the base rent and the current NNN estimate so you can compare total cost.

How big a space do I need?

Many small businesses start in 1,500 to 5,000 square feet. Plan for storage, work area, parking and loading, and growth over your lease term.
