A tape measure stretched out for sizing a space

Choosing a size from 500 to 2,000+ square feet

Updated November 11, 2026 · 1 min read

Start with the floor

Add up pallets, shelving, a work table, and the path a person or a pallet jack needs. A 500 square foot bay holds a focused stash and a clear way through it.

1,000 square feet is where many inventory businesses and trades can face the goods and still walk around them. 1,500 square feet adds a second row or a clearer receiving area.

2,000+ square feet

2,000+ square feet is the largest size on the Long Island City card. It fits a real inventory or equipment footprint, with the building services of a bay. Larger spaces are available when you ask.

Standing in the bay beats a sketch. Book the Long Island City tour and walk the size you have in mind, then the one beside it if you are between two.

Size, term, and price travel together

Monthly pricing on the Long Island City card changes with size and with the term. Credit and the lease structure are part of the same conversation. Other buildings are quoted for that address.

Choose the size you can operate in, with an aisle that stays open after the truck leaves. We’ll help you land on it.
