Industrial development, decided properly

Turn land into the right industrial development.

You own — or you're eyeing — a piece of dirt. FlexSpace helps you answer the questions that follow: what to build, how to lay it out, what to build it from, what it will cost, what it can earn, and who can build it. Plan. Design. Price. Compare. Build.

How it works

From dirt to decision in eight steps

Every tool on this platform serves one workflow — the sequence every successful industrial project walks through.

Add your propertyAddress, ZIP, acreage, or lot dimensions — plus plat, survey, or aerial uploads.
Add development rulesZoning, setbacks, coverage, easements, floodplain, access — the envelope you must build inside.
Compare conceptsSmall-bay vs. yards vs. IOS vs. storage vs. condos — tested on your actual dimensions.
Optimize the layoutBuildings, bays, aisles, yards, parking — drawn to scale, counted honestly.
Choose materialsPEMB, post-frame, tilt-up, fabric, and everything between — compared where they differ.
Price the buildA full development budget, localized by ZIP, editable line by line.
Model the returnsNOI, yield on cost, cap-rate sensitivity, hold vs. condo-sale exit.
Find your providersManufacturers, engineers, and contractors for every scope in the project.
Cheat codes

The lines in the code book that save six figures

Build on one side of a threshold and you owe $190k of sprinklers and water main. Build on the other side and you don't. The lines are public, legal, and mostly unknown — we catalogued them.

Development types

What should this land become?

Twelve income-producing industrial strategies, each with tenants, dimensions, economics, and the honest when-it-works / when-it-doesn't.

All twelve development types →

Land utilization

Same 6.9 acres. Six different projects.

A 600' × 500' parcel holds a very different business depending on the concept: maximize rentable square feet, maximize unit count, pair shops with fenced yards, or skip buildings entirely and lease the dirt. The concept engine runs them all against your dimensions and shows the yield each one produces.

Illustrative planning estimates from the live concept engine — open the planner to run your own parcel.

The lender pack

Walk into the bank with the whole binder

The two documents lenders ask first-time developers for — built here, free, from your own numbers. Everything stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Tool

Feasibility Study Builder

Feasibility firms charge $5–15k for what is mostly formulas plus data. Walk seven steps — market (guided Census lookup), site, competition, concept, costs, returns — and print a dated study with an honest scored verdict and sensitivity table.

Tool

Business Plan Creator

The document a lender actually reads: borrower & team, project, market, sources & uses, projections, repayment. Imports your feasibility numbers, drafts the narrative, and prints a clean lender-ready plan.

Write your plan →
The extra income menu

Base rent is the entrée. Here are the sides.

Sixteen revenue streams that stack on top of a small-industrial property — most of them on land, roof, and pavement you already own.

See all sixteen streams →

Materials & systems

PEMB? Post-frame? Tilt-up? Fabric?

Ten structural systems, compared where they actually differ: cost, speed, spans, fire, insurance, lender treatment, and the uses where each one is the wrong answer.
