Although Detroit is known historically as one of America’s biggest warehousing and distribution cities, the economy has struggled greatly in recent years, leading to a lack of commercial real estate development. As all things in life tend to ebb and flow, that might be starting to change.

New reports and information on the industrial warehouse space in Motor City indicate developers see an increasing demand and ample opportunity for leasing commercial property and manufacturing warehouse space, according to the Detroit advertising agency and related news source CrainsDetroit.com. Overall, the U.S. storage and warehouse leasing industry is worth an estimated $26

The walls are going up! The process of putting the tilt wall panels in place started yesterday. Each of the 8-10 ton panels for the building has to be raised off the ground by a crane and put in the proper place. The Folsom construction crew has to precisely place each panel so that they all fit together. It is like putting together a giant jig saw puzzle. Tuesday, 17 panels were raised, placed and braced.  There will be a total of 56 tilt wall panels once the building is finished. The crane you see in the pictures is a

Technology and our use of technology is changing the face of retail as we know it. As consumers are leaning towards smartphone technologies and e-commerce retail sites such as Amazon and Walmart, retailers are looking to commercial warehousing and leasing commercial property to better compete in the retail market and provide a direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales model. In fact, the next five years are expected to see so much e-commerce growth that retailers will soon need up to 25 million square meters in extra retail space to effectively store and distribute their products.

Whether you’re leasing commercial property to manufacture goods or you are looking for an industrial warehouse space to help facilitate freight transportation, finding a warehouse to rent is crucial and people are catching on quickly.

They’re in high demand. Four billion square feet of warehouse space was built between 1990 and 2003. Since 1990, warehouses of at least 100,000 square feet have never posted a quarter of negative absorption, and their total occupied space

Commercial warehouse development is on the rise, and there has also been an increase in speculative construction. For example, more than half — 62% — of the 59 million square feet under construction by the end of third quarter in 2013 was being constructed without signed tenants.

Currently, the U.S. storage and commercial warehousing industry is worth an estimated $26 billion and this figure is expected to continue increasing. E-commerce is expected to grow as well at a compounded annual average rate of 10% over the next five years. Simply put, more and more businesses are leasing a warehouse, leasing

The U.S. storage and warehouse leasing industry is booming, and is worth an estimated $26 billion. This is highlighted by the fact that in 2014, U.S. markets absorbed a total of 70.2 million square feet of office space, marking the highest demand since 2006.

In addition, retailers both on and offline will require a combined 25 million square meters in additional space over the next five years in order to store and manage the goods they sell.

As such, leasing commercial property is an excellent way to establish a physical — otherwise known as “brick-and-mortar” — location for your business.

The type of lighting used in commercial warehouses is highly critical because it affects so many different operations components. It’s not just a matter of “lights on” or “lights off”, especially when you take into account the amount of energy that commercial buildings consume each year. Electric lighting devours almost 40% of all the energy consumed by industry.

The various lighting specifications in a warehouse building – energy source, lamp quantity, installation method, bulb type, and frequency of usage – collectively determine the overall quality of lighting in the space. Thus, when all of those factors are taken into consideration,
