The industrial development market continues to evolve and we\u2019ve seen building clear heights continue to grow taller over the last 30 years. In the 1970s most buildings were built with a 20\u2019 clear height or fewer. Today, the big question developers of big box space are facing is: do you build a 32\u2019 clear or 36\u2019 clear building and what is the cost\/benefit analysis of doing so? And what is the size threshold where tenant demand drives the need for a 36\u2019 clear building? The below highlights the benefits tenants will receive through a taller clear height and what the impact is on cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/td>\nClear Height – Distance from the floor to the lowest-hanging ceiling member or hanging objects, beams, joists or truss work descending down into a substantial portion of the industrial work area. This is the most important measure of the interior height of an industrial building because it defines the minimum height of usable space within the structure. (Synonyms: clear headway, clearance), as stated by NAIOP. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For a user that will fully \u201ccube out\u201d the building, they can increase storage capacity by 10 % to 25%.<\/span><\/p>\n
