Arts District

What it's like

The Arts District retains manufacturing, fabrication, creative production and light-industrial activity among converted warehouses and newer mixed-use development east of Downtown. That overlap makes it a hybrid operating district rather than a conventional warehouse market.

Guide

What to know about industrial space

Industrial users often prioritize functionality first, including loading, clear height, yard access, power, circulation, and transportation connections.

Typical lease terms

Industrial leases often skew longer, especially for warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, or specialized operational uses.

Common lease structures

Many industrial leases are structured as triple net, though terms can vary based on property type, age, and local market conditions.

What to compare

Review dock and grade loading, clear height, column spacing, office finish, yard area, freeway access, and zoning before comparing price alone.

Flexibility tradeoffs

Shorter terms and turnkey spaces are easier, but often come at a higher effective rate.
