Who it suits
Workshops, warehouses, studios and galleries. Contractors, automotive and equipment businesses, furniture makers, galleries, studios and distributors use it. Companies that need storage or workshop space fit better here than in office districts.
Licensing route
Industrial and warehousing activities are usually licensed on the mainland and need approvals tied to the premises, such as municipality and civil defence requirements. We check the unit before you sign.
Practical tip
Always confirm the unit's permitted use and fire-safety approvals first, because an unapproved unit can stop your licence.
