 The perfect office space may seem impossible to find, especially if you are a small business. Whether you are looking for a space that will give your specialty shop more foot traffic or a space that displays your logo outside loud and proud, keep reading to discover whether retail "office" space is right for you! 

What is Retail Office Space?

Retail space is based on easy customer access, so plenty of parking space and opportunities for customers to see the business, preview your merchandise, and walk in is a must. Display is essential, so spaces that allow you to exhibit a logo or market your store are helpful to retail owners as well. When it comes to retail, the key to success is location, location, location! Speak to a TenantBase Advisor for advice on the best places to set up shop in your market. 

  

Why Do I Need Retail Office Space?

Retail spaces help you gain the visibility and accessibility that you need. Convenience and foot traffic are two good reasons to choose a retail space.

In addition, a retail space could include storage to stock your product. For example, if you work at a shoe store, you need racks to be able to store your shoes and space for ladders so that employees can easily access the product for customers. On the other hand, if you sell clothes then you might want an open space to display your product. Your ideal retail space should have room for your products and be accessible for customers.

 

How Can I Get My Own Space?

Whether you need a space to place your stilettos or a shelf to show off your overalls, it can seem pretty tricky to find a place that suits your needs. If finding your own retail space makes you want to pull your hair out, contact a Tenant Advisor at TenantBase.com. We are a team of professionals who would love to find you the ideal space, free of cost. Visit the website today and let us know how we can help you!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TenantBase work?

TenantBase reverses the traditional commercial real estate model. Instead of spending weeks searching listings and contacting landlords, tenants share their requirements — location, size, budget, and timing — and TenantBase matches them with qualified local tenant-rep brokers and relevant market options.

What does a tenant-rep broker actually do?

Tenant-rep brokers provide market expertise, advocate exclusively for tenant interests, and manage the leasing process from start to finish — space selection, negotiations, and concessions — helping reduce risk and improve outcomes at no direct cost to the tenant in most U.S. markets.

What's the difference between a gross lease and a net lease?

In a gross lease, one all-in rent payment covers most building expenses. In a net lease, tenants pay base rent plus some combination of property taxes, insurance, and CAM charges on top. Those pass-throughs can add 30–100% above the face rate, so understanding the structure before you tour is critical.

Who are the Partner Broker Highlights?

Partner Broker Highlights feature trusted tenant-rep brokers in TenantBase's network — their background, market expertise, and approach to representing tenants. It's designed to help businesses find and vet the right local advisor before starting a search.

How does TenantBase help me find the right space for my business?

TenantBase combines technology with local tenant advisors to match searches based on headcount, growth plans, budget, and timing — streamlining discovery and helping teams lease space that fits their operational and financial goals.
