Short answers, a comparison, and a tour when you are ready.
Getting started
Who is a GridShare bay for?
A private bay for businesses that have outgrown a garage or a storage unit. Trades, inventory, light assembly, studios, and equipment all land here.
How do I start?
Open the building you want. Long Island City books a tour. Every other building takes an inquiry and the team follows up about that address.
What should I tell you?
The size, how you would use the space, and whether you want 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2+ years. A sentence on what actually goes in the bay helps.
Space and access
How big are the Long Island City bays?
500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000+ square feet. Larger spaces are available too. Tell us what you need to store and we’ll size it with you.
Is the bay private?
Yes. You get a private area inside a building where loading is shared. You are not leasing the whole building.
How does loading work?
Loading is shared at the building. Ask on the tour, or in the inquiry, how deliveries are handled at that address.
How secure is it?
Access is managed with the building. On a tour we’ll walk you through how entry works at that address.
Leases and terms
Which terms can I ask for?
3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2+ years. “2+ years” means two years or longer. The signed lease is what locks the term in.
Is the website the lease?
The signed lease is the agreement for that space. These pages are how you picture the bay and book the conversation.
Can I see the space first?
In Long Island City, yes. Book the tour and walk the bay. For other buildings, send the inquiry and the team will set the next step.
Pricing and what's included
How is price set?
Pricing depends on the term, the square footage, credit, and the lease structure. Long Island City rates are on the pricing page. For every other building, we’ll quote after we talk.
What comes with a Long Island City bay?
Utilities, Wi-Fi, shared loading access, and on-site management. Confirm the list for the space you tour. It belongs in the lease.
What comes with the bay, and what stays with me?
You get the private bay, shared loading, and the building services for that location, including utilities and Wi-Fi where the lease includes them. Your goods, your orders, and the way you ship them stay in your hands.
Tours
Where do I book a tour?
On the Long Island City building page. After the form, you pick a time. That calendar is for 47-09 30th Street.
What about the other buildings?
Use the inquiry on that building’s page. Tell us the size, the use, and the term, and we’ll set the next step for that address.

The bay, the path to the shared loading area, and the answers you need written into the lease: access, utilities, Wi-Fi, and what is included.
