Never Trust a marketing brochure for a warehouse, or the truck court depth it cites

The Truck Court is one of the most important aspects of a warehouse or industrial building. It’s where all truck traffic occurs and trailer parking sits.

Every business needs to check the dimensions before they lease or purchase. MacLeod & Co.

Negotiation is the willingness and power to walk away. Keep your options open, for as long as possible, when negotiating a large warehouse lease.

How to Tour a Warehouse (And Mistakes to Avoid)

04/07/2026

Mistakes CEOs make negotiating warehouse leases…

Avoiding these mistakes could save your business six to seven figures on your next warehouse lease.

1) The Power of Early Occupancy. What if you could sign a new warehouse lease one month, but not start the lease until 3 months later. That’s the power of early occupancy. Most CEOs focus on the amount of free rent negotiated inside the lease contract. But the real power is in getting keys to the building now, and not using up your free rent during the time you’re moving in. So what looks like 5-6 months of free rent on paper, feels like 8-9 months of free rent to the business. On a 100,000 sf warehouse, that could be extra $300,000 in free rent.

2) Waiting to Negotiate Building Upgrades. Tenants have the most leverage while the deal itself is being negotiated. Any upgrades you want paid for by the landlord have to be negotiated before you go to leases. The fastest way to lose money that could have been yours, and create deal fatigue, is waiting until the lease contract to negotiate last minute tenant improvements. $1 / SF of additional tenant improvements could cost your business or gain your business another $100,000

3) Don’t Commit to Your Favorite Building too Early. Until you’ve secured best and final offers from other buildings, do not commit to the final deal on your favorite building. Negotiating Power is having options and the ability to walk away. You Take the best deal points from competing buildings to create leverage on the best building for your business. A 2% savings on rent could be $150,000 over 5 years. An extra month of free rent could be $100,000. An extra 25 cents of tenant improvements could be $25,000.
