Small-bay industrial in a submarket that has almost none
Northville is not an industrial market. It is a professional and residential community with a small amount of light industrial stock and effectively no new supply coming. A contractor, service company or light manufacturer who wants to be in Northville, or wants staff who live in Northville, Novi, Plymouth and Livonia to have a short commute, has very few options.
That scarcity is the reason the rate sits at $20 modified gross rather than the $11.95 you would pay in an established industrial corridor in Troy. You are not paying for a better warehouse. You are paying for a warehouse in a place that barely has any, with a professional storefront on a main road. For some businesses that is worth it and for others it is not, and we would rather you work that out before the tour than after.
Why the storefront matters more than it sounds
Most industrial suites put you at the back of a park behind a chain-link fence. Every suite here fronts Seven Mile Road with a retail-style entrance.
That changes what the space can do. A business that takes appointments, sells to walk-ins, recruits skilled staff or wants a credible address for a professional client base gets something from a storefront that a loading bay cannot provide. Fitness and instructional uses work here, subject to approval, precisely because of that frontage.
If your operation never sees a visitor, you are paying for frontage you will not use, and Rankin Business Park in Troy is the better economics.
Why Northville
Centered between three employment hubs. Among the Plymouth, Livonia and Novi commercial centers, drawing staff from across western Wayne and southern Oakland counties.
Highway access without highway frontage. I-275, M-14 and I-96 all reachable, covering the airport corridor, Ann Arbor and Detroit.
An address that reads well. For a firm hosting clients, recruiting engineers or building a brand, that is worth something real.
Use clauses, and why they matter more here
If your operation involves more than desks and shelving, the use clause in your lease matters more than the rate. Vehicle work, washing, staging, finishing, coating or anything with a waste or runoff component needs specific lease language and usually specific insurance, including environmental and pollution liability naming the landlord as additional insured.
We negotiate these regularly. Raise your actual operation at letter of intent stage rather than hoping a generic use clause covers it. A use clause that does not match what you do is a default waiting to happen, and it is far cheaper to fix before signature than after.
Who leases here
Contractors and home-service companies. Light assembly and production. Professional businesses needing warehouse storage. Local service and repair companies. Inventory and equipment storage. Fitness or instructional businesses, subject to approval. Businesses wanting Seven Mile visibility. All uses subject to zoning and landlord approval.

Comparing $20 modified gross with a triple net quote
Under triple net you pay your proportionate share of property taxes, building insurance and common area maintenance on top of base rent, reconciled at year end. Under modified gross, more of that is bundled into the rate and your monthly number is predictable. Ask any landlord for total occupancy cost per square foot, and for last year's reconciliation. See Triple Net vs Modified Gross vs Gross.

Enter the other building's base rent and its estimated pass-throughs. Ask that landlord for last year's reconciliation to fill these in.

- 3Power, voltage and amperage from your equipment plate.
- 4Loading, determined by how your freight arrives. This building is grade-level only, with 12' drive-in doors.
