Where you lease or buy will depend on your distribution needs. Do you transport goods via air or water? To minimize transportation costs and travel time, your space should be in close proximity to an airport or port.<\/p>\n<p>Another part of the location to consider is how accessible the area is. Are the roads in good condition? Is there clearance for large trucks? Is traffic bad? In an industrial space, you\u2019ll be dealing with transportation day in and day out. Making sure it\u2019s easily reachable will ensure your business can thrive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4317 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/2-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onni.com\/commercial\/industrial\/canada\/richmond\/richmond-14271-73-knox-way\/\">14271-14273 Knox Way<\/a> is located in North Richmond, close to IKEA, Home Depot, and Staples, with convenient access to major transportation routes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Workforce Availability<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To sustain operations, every business needs staff. Ask yourself what the community is like in the surrounding area. Is there a demand for jobs? How easy is it for employees to get to work? Being near public transportation is always beneficial when considering industrial real estate. The more well-connected the area, the more drawn employees will be to working there.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Size<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As industrial spaces are usually quite large, choosing the right size is an obvious criterion. While it\u2019s important to ensure there is ample storage space, you don\u2019t want to be left with jam-packed and unorganized shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind the direction your business is heading. If you\u2019re growing, you will likely need more space in the coming years. However, too much space can also be an issue. If your warehouse is too big, you\u2019ll have empty, unused square footage that you\u2019re paying for.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4318 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/3-1-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/3-1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/3-1-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/3-1-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/onni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/3-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onni.com\/commercial\/industrial\/canada\/surrey\/campbell-heights-west\/\">Campbell Heights West<\/a> is a high quality development in South Surrey catering to light impact industrial users.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Layout<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve established the size you\u2019re looking for, focus on the layout.
