The facilities and landscaping are all maintained at the highest levels and provide a professional look to our operations. We would not find all of these advantages combined at other properties.”
St. John Properties typically defines flex as a single-story commercial building that includes both office and warehouse components. The buildings feature generous, welcoming landscaping and large windows in the front, and often includes a rear drive-in or dock-high loading door, allowing for direct shipping and receiving to the premises.
Flex space works well for tenants who need both administrative functions and operational space (storage/manufacturing/etc.).
Hybrid operations: office and warehouse combination
Medical, pharmaceutical, and research labs that need some office and some lab or production space
Distribution, logistics, e-commerce for inventory, shipping/receiving
Startups, light manufacturers, specialized retail, etc.
Space Optimization: Flex spaces are designed to serve multiple purposes. This means that businesses can optimize the use of every square foot, getting more value out of their lease. Instead of renting separate spaces for different functions, a company can consolidate its operations, leading to potential cost savings.
Logistical Savings: Having both office and warehouse or production functions in one location can reduce transportation and logistical costs. There’s no need to transport goods or materials between separate locations, which can save both time and money.
Traditional industrial space may not have the designed office component, facade, windows, or office comfort, or might not offer flexible interior layout or front office presence.
Flex space sits in between: combining warehouse/industrial features (loading, utility capacity, open space) with office components and more user-friendly amenities.
Pure office space often lacks loading docks, high ceilings, or warehouse-scale bays, and may not have zoning that allows light industrial uses.
Combined costs: factoring transportation, logistics, wasted time if functions are spread out elsewhere.
Efficiency of operations: centralized staff, easier supervision and coordination, faster communication.
Flex/scale: growth or contraction management, whether the building can adapt to changing usage proportions.
Location benefits: proximity to suppliers, shipping, customers; easier distribution
