Mechanic and Fabrication Shop Space in Minnesota
A shop is only as good as the building around it. Sparks, heavy steel, a lift and a trailer in the drive all ask more of a space than a typical rental bay delivers.
The Hide Out Supermax Suites are deeded commercial suites in a noncombustible building of masonry and structural steel. Own the shop, build it out your way, and stop paying rent on someone else’s walls.
Built for Sparks
There is no wood framing in the structure. Reinforced concrete block between suites gives resistance to fire, keeps noise in your own space and adds real structural rigidity. Welding and grinding feel a lot less nervous inside walls that do not burn.
Room to Go Up
Most suites have twenty-five feet of clear height, so a lift has room to work, and one of the smaller suites already has three trucks stacked on a single lift. Fourteen-foot overhead doors take tall vehicles and equipment.
Trailers Welcome
The site was laid out for people who tow. A full-size truck and trailer can make a U-turn between the buildings, and the drive aisles never make you jackknife to back in.
Employees Welcome, Clients by Appointment
This is a commercial building, and a business can own a suite and run out of it. Your crew can work there every day. Customers come by appointment rather than walking in off the street, because there is no retail storefront, which suits most appointment-based work better anyway.
Financing
Owner-occupied commercial real estate qualifies for SBA financing, which typically means a lower down payment than a conventional commercial loan. Ask your own lender what it looks like for your business, and see how to buy a garage condo.
Who It Suits
Mechanics, restoration shops, small fabrication and prototyping shops, and specialty automotive, marine and powersport work done by appointment. The concrete mezzanine, included with every suite, gives you an office or parts room upstairs without giving up floor space.
Photos only go so far. The fastest way to know whether a suite fits is to stand in one. Tours are by appointment: call (855) 843-4433 or get in touch.
