Gastonia's Best Value In Commercial Real Estate
When you evaluate Gastonia's Commercial Property for lease you need to review the total cost per month. Some leases are triple Net meaning Taxes, Insurance and Maintenance Fees will be added to the monthly rent. These costs can add substantial cost to the total monthly rent. A $100,000 Unit Value adds over $120.00 per month in taxes. Insurance could add $12.00 per month. Maintenance (Water/Sewer/Storm Water/Trash/Lawn/Etc...) adds about $40.00 per month. The extras could be 20% more than the rent.
We try to avoid this potential cost shock by quoting our flex-space rents as inclusive as we can. At 2T Park in Gastonia we include all these costs in our commercial rates for flex-space. So when we quote our 1,750 sf unit at $1,095.00 per month over $200.00 goes to taxes, insurance and maintenance and a 3,500 sf unit quoted at $2,190.00 per month has almost $440.00 for taxes, insurance and maintenance.
Another area of hidden cost is energy efficiency. All the buildings at 2T Park have been built since 2000 and in fact most of the available units were completed in 2010. These units meet modern energy codes for efficiency. Older structures lacking in insulation and energy efficient HVAC (seer ratings) will cost more to heat and cool.
Review and compare. Contact us with any questions or to schedule a viewing. More details at GastonCommercial
