All three properties offer suites that can combine warehouse and office space. Z Novi Commons suites are generally configured with approximately 80% warehouse and 20% office. Northville and Troy have a variety of configurations, ranging from primarily warehouse space to suites with larger finished office areas.

In many cases, yes. Depending on the suite and lease terms, existing offices may be modified or additional office space may be constructed. Any alterations must be reviewed and approved by the landlord and may require municipal permits.

Yes. Overhead-door sizes vary by property:

• Z Novi Commons: 10-foot grade-level doors
• Northville Research Center: 12-foot grade-level doors
• Rankin Business Park: 14-foot grade-level doors

Loading configurations vary by individual suite.

Dock-high loading is available at select suites within Rankin Business Park in Troy. Some Troy suites have grade-level loading, some have dock-high loading and certain suites may offer both. Z Novi Commons and Northville Research Center primarily offer grade-level loading.

Box trucks, delivery vans and similar commercial vehicles can generally access all three properties. Rankin Business Park is the best option for businesses requiring dock-high loading or frequent larger-truck deliveries. Truck access and maneuvering space should be confirmed for the specific suite during your tour.

Ceiling heights are:

• Z Novi Commons: approximately 15 feet
• Northville Research Center: approximately 16 feet
• Rankin Business Park: approximately 16–18 feet

Prospective tenants should confirm the usable clear height within the particular suite because lighting, ductwork and other building components may affect clearance.

All warehouse suites are heated. Most finished office areas are air-conditioned, and select warehouse areas may also have air conditioning. HVAC equipment and coverage vary by suite, so confirm your specific heating, cooling and ventilation requirements before leasing.

Utility responsibility varies by property and suite. In most cases, warehouse tenants are responsible for their own utilities. Private offices at Z Novi Commons may include utilities as part of the monthly rent. The leasing team will provide a complete breakdown for the space you are considering.

It depends on the property and suite. Some rental rates include common area maintenance expenses, while others have CAM or other operating expenses charged separately. Always request the total monthly occupancy cost, including base rent, CAM, utilities and any additional fees.

Most warehouse and industrial suites require a three- to five-year lease. Shorter terms, including a possible one-year lease, may occasionally be considered when a tenant accepts the suite in its existing as-is condition. Terms are evaluated individually.

Annual rent increases may be included in the lease and will be disclosed as part of the proposal. The amount varies based on the property, suite and negotiated lease terms.

The properties are generally suited for:

• Contractors and skilled trades
• E-commerce and online retailers
• Inventory and equipment storage
• Light assembly or production
• Distribution companies
• Service and repair businesses
• Professional businesses requiring office and warehouse space
• Certain automotive-related businesses, subject to approval
• Fitness or instructional uses, subject to zoning and landlord approval

Every proposed use must be reviewed for zoning, parking, utility demands, noise, environmental impact and compatibility with neighboring tenants.

Possibly. Rankin Business Park is generally the best fit for manufacturing, fabrication and certain automotive-related businesses. Approval depends on the specific operation, including noise, fumes, hazardous materials, power requirements, parking, outdoor activity and municipal regulations.

Yes, many suites can accommodate inventory, materials, equipment or business-related storage. The space may not be used for residential purposes or unapproved self-storage operations. The specific type of materials being stored must be disclosed and approved.

Outdoor storage is not automatically included with a suite. Any exterior storage of vehicles, trailers, equipment, pallets or materials requires written approval and must comply with local zoning and property rules.

All three properties offer on-site parking. Availability varies by suite and proposed use. Businesses with numerous employees, service vehicles, customer traffic or fleet parking should discuss their requirements before submitting an application.

Building or suite signage may be permitted subject to landlord approval, property standards and municipal sign requirements. Tenants are generally responsible for obtaining required permits and paying for their signage.

Improvements may be allowed with prior written approval. Depending on the lease, work may be completed by the landlord, the tenant or an approved contractor. Construction must comply with building codes and permitting requirements.

Commercial tenants are generally required to maintain liability insurance and any other coverage required by the lease. Insurance requirements will be provided before lease execution.

Move-in timing depends on whether the suite is vacant, whether improvements are required and whether the tenant’s use requires municipal approvals or permits. An existing as-is suite can typically be occupied sooner than one requiring construction or a change of use.
