Key Takeaways

  • Flex industrial combines office (front) and warehouse (back) — appeals to distributors, e-commerce, and service companies.
  • Target 20-50% office ratio — too much office kills the industrial advantage, too little limits tenant appeal.
  • Flex space commands premium rents over pure warehouse because tenants get office and warehouse in one lease.
  • Due diligence on flex: check ceiling heights, dock access, column spacing, and whether the office build-out adds or kills value.
