Tenant Representation for Industrial & Warehouse Space
Finding the right industrial or warehouse space shouldn't mean scrolling listing sites and cold-calling landlords. We provide free representation to businesses searching for industrial space across Southern California — bringing you access to the full range of available inventory, plus off-market and pre-market opportunities that never make it to CoStar, LoopNet, or AIR.
What's Involved in Tenant Representation
Finding and securing the right space takes more than a search — it takes an advocate working for you at every step:
- Understanding your space, timeline, and operational requirements
- Identifying available and off-market options that fit your criteria
- Touring properties and evaluating fit — layout, power, clear height, dock access, and proximity to the ports and transportation corridors
- Comparing lease terms across multiple properties so you're negotiating from an informed position
- Negotiating lease terms, tenant improvement allowances, and concessions on your behalf
- Guidance through LOI, lease review, and move-in
What to Consider When Evaluating Space
A handful of factors tend to matter most for industrial and warehouse tenants:
Operational Fit
Clear height, column spacing, dock-high vs. ground-level loading, and floor load capacity all determine whether a space actually works for your operation — not just whether it's available.
Power
If your business relies on manufacturing equipment, refrigeration, or EV charging, electrical capacity can rule spaces in or out before anything else does.
Location and Access
Proximity to the ports, freeways, and major transportation corridors affects both your logistics costs and your labor pool.
Lease Structure
Base rent is only part of the picture — TI allowances, free rent periods, escalations, and renewal options all affect your real cost of occupancy over the life of the lease.
Who This Is For
Our tenant representation is a fit for businesses that are:
- Searching for their first industrial or warehouse space
- Relocating or expanding into a larger facility
- Facing a lease expiration and deciding whether to renew or relocate
- Subleasing unused space or looking to sublease space themselves
- Trying to identify off-market opportunities before they hit the open market

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tenant representation really free?
Yes. Landlords pay the leasing commission on a transaction, so our representation costs you nothing — you get an experienced advocate at no cost.
How long does it typically take to find space?
It depends on your requirements and current market inventory, but access to off-market opportunities often speeds up the process compared to searching listing sites alone.
Can you help if I'm subleasing space I no longer need?
Yes. We represent tenants on both sides — finding new space and marketing space you need to sublease.
What if I'm not sure whether to renew or relocate?
We can benchmark your current lease terms against the market and walk you through the real cost and tradeoffs of both options.
Do you only show listed properties?
No. Through direct broker-to-broker outreach, we can identify off-market and pre-market opportunities that never appear on CoStar, LoopNet, or AIR.
