2026 Atlanta Warehouse Rental Rate Guide
How much does it cost to lease industrial space in Atlanta?
Rental rates are driven by utility, not just size. While supply and demand set the market baseline, specific features such as 30'+ clear heights, heavy power, or outside storage will command a premium.
The "Hidden" Cost: Base Rate vs. NNN
Note: The rates below represent the Base Rental Rate. Most industrial leases in Atlanta are Triple Net (NNN), meaning you must add operating expenses (Property Taxes, Insurance, and CAM) to calculate your total monthly cost. In 2026, NNN expenses typically range from $2.50 to $4.00 PSF depending on the submarket.

Detailed Breakdown by Size
How much does a 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse cost?
Small Bay and Flex Spaces are in high demand due to limited supply. Expect Base rates between $12 and 16/SF. These units often compete with local service businesses, driving prices higher per square foot than bulk distribution space. Spaces ITP, or inside 285, will command the highest rates as will buildings adjacent to wealthy suburbs.
How much does a 10,000 – 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse cost?
For mid-sized operations, rates typically range from $9 to 13/SF for 10k SF units, dropping to $6 to 11/SF as you approach 30k SF. Pricing here leans heavily on functionality: dock-high loading and truck access will push rates to the higher end. Buildings in this size range with outdoor storage command a huge premium as many businesses need the space to park trucks and equipment.
How much does a 50,000 – 100,000+ sq. ft. warehouse cost?
Larger distribution and manufacturing facilities benefit from economies of scale.
50,000 SF: $7- $10/ SF
100,000+ SF: $6 - $8/ SF
At this size, clear height (28’+) and column spacing become the primary drivers of value.

How are Warehouse leases structured?
The most common lease is a NNN (triple net) lease. This means a tenant will pay a base rate per square foot on an annual basis. Additionally, they will pay the owner their pro rata portion of the operating costs.
This means a 20,000 square foot warehouse leased at $10/ square foot will have an annual base rate of $200,000. The additional operating expenses may be $2.50/square foot. This means the total annual rent is $250,000, or $20,800 per month.
