About Smallbay.co

Smallbay.co is an educational resource for people who own, operate, develop, invest in, broker, or study small bay flex industrial real estate.

We publish plain-language guides, a growing glossary of asset-class terms, and free calculators for everyday underwriting and leasing questions—lease cost, NOI, cap rate, DSCR, CAM reconciliation, occupancy cost, cash-on-cash return, yield on cost, and rent escalations.

Why this site exists

Small bay and flex industrial goes by many names—contractor bays, garage condos, office warehouse, service bays, and more. Definitions and operating math are scattered across broker decks, listing notes, and general commercial real estate training that often assumes big-box logistics. Smallbay.co consolidates the definitions, comparisons, and tools practitioners need for multi-tenant buildings with compact units, typically 500 to 10,000 SF each.

What we publish

• Blog — explainers on small bay vs big-box, lease structures, CAM, last-mile industrial, and operator topics.
• Glossary — short definitions with examples and formulas for investment, leasing, and physical-property terms.
• Tools — free client-side calculators; inputs stay in your browser.
