Demising Wall: A Building That Evolved With Its Tenants
Sometimes a building evolves to fit the tenants who want to be there. At one of our industrial warehouses, Bays 1-5 were one large space, larger than most prospective tenants were looking for. Then we found a great tenant who loved the space. They didn’t need all five bays, but they were such a good fit for the building and the landlord that we found a way to make it work.
We negotiated with both sides, and the landlord approved dividing the space with a demising wall. Our contractors handled the plans and permits, framed the wall, and gave Bays 4-5 their own electrical meter, panel, and lighting. The first tenant was already operating out of Bays 1-3, so we coordinated with them to keep things running smoothly.
Once the wall was finished and inspected, we leased Bays 4-5, about 5,200 SF, to a second tenant. What started as one large space is now home to two businesses, each with its own power and roll-up doors, and the building is fully occupied.
We work with landlords and tenants to find creative solutions that get deals done. Give us a call to see what’s possible.
