SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WareCRE, a first-of-its-kind online marketplace connecting small businesses with nearly 100 co-warehousing and small-bay industrial property listings across the United States and Canada. As demand for flexible and affordable warehouse space accelerates, WareCRE answers a critical need for businesses seeking fast, scalable solutions in a shifting economic landscape.
WareCRE brings together listings from leading co-warehousing brands—including ReadySpaces and other top operators—making it easier than ever for entrepreneurs, e-commerce sellers, and growing companies to discover and compare flexible warehouse options in major markets and emerging hubs alike.
Why WareCRE?
- Exclusive Inventory: Nearly 100 properties, with new listings added weekly, focused on small-bay and co-warehousing spaces optimized for business agility.
- Designed for Small Businesses: Focus on location, size, amenities, and lease flexibility—making it possible for businesses of any size to find space that fits their unique needs.
- Transparent, Side-by-Side Comparisons: WareCRE uniquely enables businesses to compare available spaces and operators, bringing much-needed transparency to the market.
- Backed by Market Trends: Small-bay industrial properties in the US now have a vacancy rate as low as 3.9%, with occupancy rates topping 96.6%—reflecting a market where demand is far outpacing supply.
A Booming Market for Small-Bay Industrial and Co-Warehousing
In North America alone, the warehousing market reached a valuation of $335.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a 7.2% CAGR through 2030. However, less than 10% of new warehouse development is focused on spaces under 100,000 square feet, creating a scarcity of options for small businesses and fueling a co-warehousing boom. At the same time, minimum monthly spending requirements for warehousing continue to rise, prompting more companies to seek flexible and affordable alternatives.
"Traditional brokers and landlords have consistently overlooked small businesses looking for industrial space; we've built something to serve them specifically," said Nick Gardiner, partner at WareCRE. "With small-bay vacancy rates near historic lows and North American warehousing demand reaching new highs, we built WareCRE to give these businesses the same access and transparency that larger companies enjoy—so they can find space, compare options, and get growing, all in one place."
WareCRE is now live and accepting property listings from operators, brokers, and owners nationwide.
