COMMERCIAL SPACE FOR LEASE ON THE BIG ISLAND
You're trying to find space between everything else your business needs from you. That's the real problem. Inventory here is limited. A good portion of what's available is never publicly listed. And a space that fits your operation doesn't always sit in a neighborhood that does. None of which is visible from a listing platform.
We run a business too, so we know what this search costs you. We also know this market well enough to shorten your search and take the administrative weight off your desk. You tell us what you need, we do the looking.
Big Island Commercial Properties works with businesses looking for space across Hawaii Island, including Kailua-Kona, Waikoloa, Waimea, South Kohala, and Hilo.
WHAT WE HELP YOU FIND
-
Retail and restaurant space
-
Industrial, warehouse, and flex space
-
Vacant land and yard space
-
Office and medical office
-
Relocations, expansions, and renewals
HOW IT WORKS
We start with your business, not the listings. What you do, how you operate, how many people, what kind of traffic, what you expect to need in three years. The space follows from that.
We tell you what the market is actually doing. Current rates, what's available, what's coming. You should be making this decision with the same information we have.
We vet the sites before you spend a day on them. Zoning and permitted use, building condition, and whatever regulatory requirements apply to your operation. Getting this wrong is expensive, and it usually isn't visible from a listing.
We arrange the tours. You see a shortlist that has already been checked, not everything that turned up in a search.
We compare the real cost. Base rent is one line. Total cost of occupancy includes CAM, utilities, improvements, and everything else you'll actually be paying every month. We put the options side by side so you can see what each one costs in full.
HOW WE HELP
-
Full detail on everything publicly listed, plus space that never reaches a listing platform.
-
3D virtual walkthroughs on many of the spaces we market. Rare here, and something we produce ourselves. Rule a space in or out from your desk instead of losing an afternoon to something that was never going to work.
-
A straight read on what a landlord is likely to accept versus what's being asked.
-
An honest assessment of whether a space actually fits how your business operates, not just whether the square footage works
-
Help thinking past the rate: CAM exposure, escalation structure, renewal options, and what happens if you outgrow the space.
-
Help getting your financials ready. A landlord will want to see them before taking a tenant seriously, and most business owners find that out late. We'll tell you what's typically asked for so you're not scrambling when the right space comes up.
WHO YOU'D BE NEXT TO MATTERS
Commercial space comes with neighbors, and the wrong adjacency costs you long after the rate stops mattering. A woodworking shop putting dust in the air is a real problem for the retailer next door with open shelving. Shared parking, loading traffic, operating hours, and signage sightlines work the same way.
We know these buildings and who's in them, and we'll tell you what we'd want to know if it were our own business moving in.
WHAT IT COSTS YOU
Our service fee is usually covered by the property owner, so there's no cost to you for the search. On the listings we hold, we represent the owner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you provide commercial leasing services?
Yes. Big Island Commercial Properties provides commercial leasing services for both property owners and tenants on the Big Island. We assist businesses looking for space to lease and help building owners market and lease their commercial properties.
How do I find a commercial space to lease on the Big Island?
You can start by viewing available vacancies on the Properties page of our website, where we list commercial spaces currently available for lease.
If you don't see the right fit, we can help. We work with businesses to understand their use, location needs, budget, and timing, then assist with identifying available options, evaluating locations and permitted uses, reviewing lease terms, and guiding tenants through the leasing process from initial search to move-in. Many opportunities are leased before they're widely advertised, so reaching out can open additional options.
What should I know about leasing commercial space in Kona?
Finding a space you like is just the start. You really have to dig into the details, like zoning and permitted use, to make sure the space actually works for your specific business.
Lease structures also vary quite a bit across the island. While some include extra monthly costs for CAM (Common Area Maintenance), property taxes, and insurance, others might be handled differently. It's important to know exactly what's included so there are no surprises in your monthly budget.
BICP can help you navigate these local details so you can find the right fit and move forward with confidence.
How much does commercial space cost on the Big Island?
Rates vary a great deal by location, property type, condition, and whether the lease is triple net or gross. A warehouse in Kona and a medical suite in Waimea aren't comparable. Tell us the size and use you have in mind and we'll give you current numbers for what's actually available.
