How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Warehouse in Denver?

How much does it actually cost to rent a warehouse in Denver, and what should tenants budget beyond the advertised rental rate? In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Secrets, Aviva Sonenreich uses a real 16,000-square-foot industrial property in the Denver market to break down base rent, triple-net expenses, and the true all-in occupancy cost, including why smaller warehouse users should consider underwriting roughly $14–$16 per square foot all-in as a starting point. Aviva also shares five practical leasing tips for tenants and landlords, covering everything from negotiating leverage and tenant desirability to why almost every part of a commercial lease can be negotiated. Plus, she reveals a negotiation strategy that could save tenants more over the life of a lease: focusing on lowering the starting base rent instead of automatically chasing free rent and other concessions.
