Washington Metro, Commercial Listings for Rent

Commercial Properties for Lease in the Washington Metropolitan area can be found throughout Washington DC, Northern Virginia and portions of Maryland. These are properties used for business purposes, rather than residential living. And, commercial leases are a thriving business given the economics are local businesses.

Why lease a commercial space rather than purchase it? First, buying will cost far more in the short run, especially when adding in property taxes and maintenance fees. Also, there is an added degree of flexibility when leasing. Perhaps you want to free up more working capital, or maybe the area you want to open your business in would be too expensive to buy into.

Commercial Properties for Lease

From an owner’s perspective, commercial leasing can make a lot of sense as well. Business income properties provide a steady stream of revenue and the occupants often have a vested interest in maintaining their stores, offices or restaurants for the simple reason that it’s better for their own business.

You’ll find all sorts of different commercial properties for lease in Washington Metro, from old historic buildings to brand new glass and steel structures. The type of property one may look for will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and county to county. It makes no sense to open a manufacturing warehouse in the middle of one of the many popular restaurant rows for instance, just as you wouldn’t open an eatery in an industrial park.

But whatever your specific needs are, just know that the Washington Metropolitan area is home to one of the nation’s most active commercial leasing marketplaces. There’s a lot of nuances and variances in this business and it is always prudent to consult with a real estate professional who knows the ins and outs of this rapidly transforming business.
