Stop Splitting Your Business in Two Locations
Some buildings are all warehouses. Others are all offices.
This one does both and does it well.
At 188 Van Buren Street, you get a ground-floor setup built for real work, paired with a second floor that feels structured, finished, and ready for business operations.

The Space That Carries the Workload
The ground level is straightforward and efficient. Everything is laid out to support movement, storage, and access without getting in the way.
- Three drive-in bays with drive-thru capability
- 20-foot clear ceiling height
- Wide-open floor area for vehicles, materials, or staging
- Rear storage for overflow
- Durable steel and masonry construction
Inside, the space feels open and active. Light moves in through the bay doors and upper windows, which helps soften the scale of the space. The exposed steel framing and clean spans give it a work-ready feel without making it feel tight.

Where the Business Runs
Moving from the warehouse into the front of the building, the tone shifts.
The entry is finished in a way that feels intentional. Stone walls, wood trim, and a defined lobby space create a clear separation between operations and client-facing areas. It sets the tone before anyone even steps upstairs.

The Office Level: Structured, Bright, and Ready
Upstairs, the layout feels more like a headquarters than a typical industrial office.
- Reception and waiting area
- Private executive offices
- Conference room
- Open workstation area
- Elevator access
- Two restrooms (one with a shower)
- Break area with cabinetry and workspace
The finishes are consistent throughout panel molding, wood doors, and a clean ceiling grid that keeps everything uniform. Large windows bring in steady natural light, especially in the private offices, which keeps the space from feeling closed off.
The conference room is set up for meetings without distraction. The executive offices feel enclosed and focused. The open workspace allows for team use without breaking the flow of the floor.
Supporting Spaces That Make It Work
Beyond the main areas, the building includes practical details that matter day to day.
- Utility and storage areas within the warehouse
- Clean, tiled restrooms
- Dedicated support zones for operations
- Organized flow between warehouse and office
Nothing feels forced. Each part of the building supports how a business actually runs.
The Site: Functional and Easy to Access
The exterior layout adds to the usability.
- Wide concrete apron for maneuvering
- Clear access to all bay doors
- Defined building footprint
- Visibility from surrounding streets
From the aerial views, you can see how efficiently the lot is used. There’s enough space to operate without wasted areas or awkward positioning.
