Outgrowing a garage or a storage unit

The garage has done its job

A garage carries a business a long way. Then the inventory, the tools, and the household are sharing one floor. The car sits in the driveway. A delivery waits on a stack of cartons. The first hour of the day is a search.

A storage unit moves the pile off the property. The goods sit down a hallway, and the sorting and loading still happen somewhere else. Two stops before the job even starts.

What a private bay changes

A GridShare bay is a private area inside a managed industrial building. Inventory, equipment, and materials live there. Shared loading at the building takes the deliveries and pickups that used to happen in a driveway.

Long Island City spaces run from 500 square feet to 2,000+ square feet, so the next step after a garage is a bay, with the building already in place. Other GridShare buildings are a conversation about that address.

Bring the picture to a tour

Walk the current space with a tape. Measure the goods, the room you need to turn a pallet jack, and the open floor you want. That sketch is what we use to pick 500, 1,000, 1,500, or 2,000+ square feet.

When the list is a place to receive, organize, and leave for the job, the tour is the next step. You’ll see the bay before you choose it.
