How much is you rent

[juan45215]

I'm just about to move into a larger space. Just wondering how much other shop owners are paying for rent.

 

[Bogie]

Around here, they seem to figure rent based on square footage...

 

[gators2001]

we own ours but our mortgage is 1900.00

 

[Drip Dry]

$1600 for 1200 sq. ft
I think it figures to about 17.00 a foot

 

[GregT]

We pay $1000 for 2700 sq ft. We do not have a truck bay. But 2 floors of space.

I don't have a storefront, but have looked into it. Most commercial spaces are about a buck a foot or a bit more plus triple-net as they call it around here (or $12 a foot depending on how you look at it). Nicer locations can go for much higher. There is a new little strip of about 5 or 6 spaces...nice, but not THAT nice. I called on it and was shocked that it was around $35 a foot if memory serves! The absolute cheapest I've seen locally is about $.50 per SF per mo. and that was a place w/o heat or bathroom...essentially just storage space!

We're in the midst of renovating a 5,000 sq. ft. building. About 2,500 of it will be climate controlled, plus it's got 4 service bays. Should work out GREAT!...hope that the payment isn't too insaine!

I'm currently paying $1200 a month for 1200 sq ft. The new place is about 2900 sq ft. He's asking $2500, I offered $2000. We'll probably end up somewhere in the middle. The neat thing is there's car wash attached to the back of the building. He must be behind on his rent because the owner told me that I can work on vehicles in one of his bays.

I'm just nervous about doubling my rent.

Same here but the company pays the entire mortgage. My shed out back is 7,000 square feet and getting small fast.

 

[blackicefx]

sounds like I have the best deal. I'm moving into a M-1 zoned location. 1500 sq ft for $650/mo. I have a reception office, a display room/consultation room, a production area and a sealed overhead bay.

3000+ .....wow.

I am at $370 800 sf for storefront. and $230 for an additional 600 sf of storage and shop space in the same building.

 

[SignosaurusRex]

More than I want to pay.....less than It could be. I don't always pay it....but then I lease to myself.......so I don't always collect. LOL....I'm kind of kidding:Big Laugh

Our new shop is 6600sq ft, and we're at $13.20 a foot/year +NNN.. Should work out to about $15/foot. It's a lot more than we pay now, but it should allow us to be much more efficient.

My new one is $1000. 2000 sq ft insulated shop space with a 14' door, 920 sq ft insulated office and 4000 sq ft uninsulated storage with another 14' door. I sublet part of the storage space for $250 and have a few guys interested in car storage at $50/ a month. I'm currently down to $750 for myself but it'll probably end up around $600. Plus I have my boat and a couple of my cars in the storage. I think it should work out well.

40x60 building, 3 10 x 10 garage doors.. no rent, no payment. woohooo!!!!

 

[gabagoo]

we have a 1800 sq. ft with a 14' drive in door. We also built a second floor with a mezanine so I figure our square footage is now at 2500 sq ft and still tight for storage. The rent is about $1600.00 in an industrial/commercial area of a sprawling suberb.

 

[wildside]

its always fascinating to see the different going rates around the country, we are currently in the middle of a move, to a shop that has 2000 sq foot office space, and 3000 sq foot shop with 14 foot door, and are paying $250 for it!!

i remember up in wisconsin, 1500 sqft ran $2500 a month

You must be moving into a leper colony.

LMFAO

Anyway, ours isn't rent, but a mortgage payment...... does that count ?? However, we have another building on our property that we rent and that pays for almost 2/3's of it so I guess we're doing Okay.
