What to Look for in Available Warehouse Space

Choosing the right available warehouse space in Cleveland is a strategic decision that can significantly impact your operational efficiency and bottom line. 

Here's a detailed breakdown of what to consider:

  1. Location, Location, Location.
    • Proximity to Customers and Suppliers. Minimize transportation costs and delivery times by selecting a warehouse close to your primary customer base and supplier network.
    • Transportation Access. Evaluate connectivity to major highways, rail lines, ports, and airports, depending on your shipping methods. Cleveland's strong transportation network makes it an attractive option for businesses focused on efficient freight movement.
    • Labor Market. Consider the availability of a skilled workforce for warehouse operations. Northeast Ohio has a significant logistics and supply chain workforce, with well over 60,000 workers in the region.
  2. Type of Warehouse Space.
    • Public Warehousing. Ideal for businesses with fluctuating storage needs, offering flexibility and shared resources. You pay only for the space and services you use.
    • Dedicated Warehousing. For businesses requiring exclusive space and a more customized setup, a dedicated warehouse offers greater control and specialized solutions.
    • Temperature-Controlled/Cold Storage. If your products are perishable or temperature-sensitive (e.g., food, pharmaceuticals), ensure the facility offers appropriate climate control.
    • Customs-Bonded Warehouse. For imported goods awaiting customs clearance, a customs-bonded facility allows you to defer duties and taxes until goods are released.
    • Hazmat Warehouses. If you handle hazardous materials, look for facilities with specialized storage systems and strict adherence to safety regulations.
  3. Facility Features and Amenities.
    • Square Footage and Ceiling Height. Ensure the space is adequate for your current inventory and allows for future growth. High ceilings (like our 25-ft ceilings at On Time Delivery & Warehouse) enable efficient vertical storage.
    • Loading Docks and Access. A sufficient number of loading docks and easy truck access are crucial for efficient inbound and outbound logistics.
    • Security. Robust 24-hour interior and exterior security monitoring, along with secure outdoor storage options, is paramount for protecting your assets.
    • Inventory Management Systems. Look for warehouses that utilize advanced inventory management software for real-time tracking, accuracy, and efficiency.
    • Value-Added Services. Beyond basic storage, consider services like pick and pack, kitting, labeling, assembly, cross-docking, and returns processing to streamline your operations.
  4. Market Conditions and Trends.
    • Vacancy Rates. While the Cleveland industrial market has experienced some softening in absorption recently, the overall vacancy rate remains relatively low, indicating a competitive market for prime spaces. This signifies a healthy demand for industrial space, emphasizing the need to partner with experienced providers.
    • Rental Rates. Be aware of average asking rental rates in the Cleveland area. The market has seen a steady increase in asking rates. This trend underscores the value of securing competitive and transparent pricing.
