How flex buildings compare with conventional warehouses for small businesses west of Houston — layout, finish, sizes and site questions.
A flex building combines finished office or showroom space with warehouse or shop space under one roof, usually in suites a small business can own or lease. A standard warehouse is mostly open storage with minimal office. Novara's flex buildings range from 4,000 to 29,000 square feet total, with suites from about 1,500 to 6,000 square feet. Flex suits contractors, trades, light assembly and showrooms; a plain warehouse suits storage-heavy operations.
