Storage builder. Thanks for the link, another peice to my resources. I see a picture on the website that looks like what I am looking for. However, I don't see a floor plan for it.

When you say build out the interior. Was it one big open bay and they could section off an office part, or is there a seperate wall dividing warehouse and office area?

What I am thinking is something that is already sectioned off. An office area where a renter can put in cubicle dividers etc and designated warehouse area with roll-up door. A walk through door from office area to warehouse.

I will begin creating a business plan and what I hope to get from these forums are resources that can help supply some of the following.

Rough building and construction costs? I wonder if A-Lert works in the SF-Bay Area?
Time to construct a unit like this?
Bathrooms in each unit or shared bathroom area?
Current Rental Rates, lease options?
Is each unit wired for internet phone individually?
Zoning and addresses any special issues?. Can mail be delivered to each unit (i.e. Suite A, B...) or is there a single office area where mail is dropped? Obviously with the roll-up doors a freight truck could at least get close.
Any sessons learned.

I understand the costs in the Bay Area are going to be quite a bit higher than Texas I imagine, especially land. Here I might be better off buying something run down, flattening it and building back up.


thanks again for any responses.
