The short version
Co-warehousing (WareSpace, Saltbox, ReadySpaces) gives you a private unit inside a shared building, on a membership or short-term plan, with shared docks, corridors, restrooms, and a shared address. LeaseSmallSpace leases you a private, standalone small-bay warehouse on a real Triple Net lease: your own drive-in or dock loading, your own business address, your own meter, 3-phase power, and a rate locked for your term. And we beat any co-warehousing price per square foot.

What is co-warehousing?
Co-warehousing, sometimes called shared warehousing, is a flexible-space model where one operator runs a large building and rents private units inside it to many small businesses. You get your own lockable unit, but you share the loading docks, corridors, restrooms, conference rooms, and amenities with every other tenant in the building, and you typically sign a membership or a license rather than a lease.
It is convenient and quick to start. The trade-off is that you do not control the building, your address is shared with dozens of other businesses, and a month-to-month plan can raise your rate. Leasing your own standalone bay trades a little of that convenience for ownership of your space, your address, and your rate.
Yours in every capacity
A LeaseSmallSpace unit is private space, not shared space, down to the meter.
Your own loading
Drive-in or dock position at your unit. Pull right in. No waiting on a shared dock.
Your own private address
Real exterior signage, a verifiable Google listing, and a clean address for your business license.
3-phase power
Industrial power to your unit, ready for real equipment.
Your own meter
Separately metered. You pay your actual usage, not a bundled or estimated share.
A real lease
A Triple Net lease gives you a legal right to your space, not a membership or a license.
Fixed rate
Your base rent is locked for the term. Month-to-month means month-to-month rate hikes. A lease does not.

Get your rateHow LeaseSmallSpace compares to WareSpace, Saltbox, and ReadySpaces
All three are solid operators. Here is how their model differs from leasing your own bay, in their own terms.
LeaseSmallSpace vs WareSpace
- The model
- Private warehouse units (Denver: about 200 to 2,000+ sq ft) inside a shared, multi-tenant building. The shipping station, loading docks, conference rooms, restrooms, kitchen, and lobby all sit outside your unit and are shared by the community.
- The agreement
- One all-in monthly fee, billed as a short-term lease with a 6-month minimum. No NNN, no CAM, no personal guarantee.
- Where WareSpace is genuinely strong
- Genuinely convenient if you want one bundled bill and a short commitment with no personal guarantee.
- Denver presence
- Denver-metro locations in Park Hill and Centennial.
The LeaseSmallSpace difference: a private, standalone bay with your own loading, your own address, your own meter, and a real lease that locks your rate, for a lower cost per square foot.
LeaseSmallSpace vs Saltbox
- The model
- A co-warehousing facility where you get a private suite inside a shared building. Loading docks, packing stations, conference rooms, an on-site content studio, and kitchens are shared. Saltbox markets a shared business address as a credibility perk.
- The agreement
- Flexible month-to-month memberships, called Access Plans, openly positioned as warehouse access without the lease. Lower tiers are shared, co-working-style access; a dedicated suite is custom quoted.
- Where Saltbox is genuinely strong
- Strong if you are an e-commerce or logistics business that wants 3PL support, a content studio, and networking.
- Denver presence
- Denver location at 4800 Dahlia St in Park Hill.
The LeaseSmallSpace difference: a private, standalone bay with your own loading, your own address, your own meter, and a real lease that locks your rate, for a lower cost per square foot.
LeaseSmallSpace vs ReadySpaces
- The model
- Co-warehousing with a private, lockable unit (about 250 to 5,000 sq ft) inside a shared building. Conference rooms, kitchens, lounges, Wi-Fi, and community forklifts and pallet jacks are shared. Only select units have a private loading door.
- The agreement
- A license model. Terms typically start at 3 months and then go month-to-month, and occupants are called members. Marketed as no long-term lease and no triple-net surprises.
- Where ReadySpaces is genuinely strong
- Useful if you value short commitments and shared forklifts and pallet jacks you do not have to buy.
- Denver presence
- Denver-area co-warehousing locations.
The LeaseSmallSpace difference: a private, standalone bay with your own loading, your own address, your own meter, and a real lease that locks your rate, for a lower cost per square foot.
When co-warehousing makes sense
Co-warehousing is a real fit for some businesses. If you need to start this week with zero setup, want a single all-in bill, value shared amenities like conference rooms, content studios, forklifts, or logistics support, or want the freedom to leave on short notice, a membership can be the right call. If what you want instead is your own private space, your own address, control of your unit, and the lowest cost per square foot on a stable rate, a lease with LeaseSmallSpace is the better deal.
Frequently asked questions
Is co-warehousing cheaper than leasing your own warehouse?+
Usually not, once you compare cost per square foot. Co-warehousing operators like WareSpace, Saltbox, and ReadySpaces bundle shared amenities into the rate, and you share docks, corridors, and restrooms with other tenants. LeaseSmallSpace leases you your own private standalone bay and beats any co-warehousing or shared-warehousing price per square foot.
What is the difference between co-warehousing and a private warehouse lease?+
Co-warehousing gives you a private unit inside a larger shared building, on a membership or short-term plan, with shared loading docks, corridors, restrooms, and a shared building address. A private warehouse lease gives you your own standalone bay with your own drive-in or dock loading, your own business address, your own utility meter, and a real Triple Net lease that locks your rate for the term.
Can I use a co-warehousing address for my business license or Google Business Profile?+
It is a shared building address used by many tenants, which can limit how it works for licensing, signage, and a verified Google Business Profile. A private leased bay gives you your own commercial address and your own exterior signage, which reads as a real standalone business location.
Will a month-to-month warehouse membership raise my rate?+
It can. Month-to-month memberships and licenses can change your rate with notice. A real lease locks your base rent for the term, so your cost does not move month to month.
Do private warehouse units include 3-phase power and their own meter?+
Yes. LeaseSmallSpace units include 3-phase power and are separately metered, so you pay your actual usage instead of a bundled or estimated share of a shared building.
What are the best WareSpace, Saltbox, and ReadySpaces alternatives in Denver?+
If you want your own private space instead of a unit inside a shared building, LeaseSmallSpace is the direct alternative in the Denver metro. You get a standalone bay, your own loading, your own address, and a real lease, across Denver, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, and Aurora.
