Many small businesses and startups are being choked by rising commercial real estate pricing. Rents are currently at or above pre-recession prices, making companies choose between their facility, or expanding their business. There are options out there for users of office space who want "cool" or creative work-spaces, and we wanted to share one with you. Converting industrial warehouse space into a usable office work-space is achievable with a few minor changes. The two items which need the most attention are climate control, and light. Adding some sort of cooling air circulation will greatly change the atmosphere of a warehouse work environment. Replacing solid doors with glass, and reducing the number of walls within the entire space will allow more ambient light to flow through the work space.
