Small bay flex space isn't just in demand — it's built to stay occupied.

While single-tenant industrial can sit vacant for an average of 9 months after a tenant leaves, multi-tenant small bay absorbs turnover differently. With 66.8% of small bay tenants renewing within 24 months and a tenant pool that has grown roughly 200% over the last decade, one vacancy in a five-bay building is a math problem — not a crisis.

CBRE reported shallow-bay rents more than 50% above 2010 levels. Only 0.5% of existing inventory is currently under construction nationally. The demand is there. The supply isn't keeping up.

SteelCo's pre-engineered metal building packages are purpose-built for this product type — wide column-free bays, grade-level drive-in doors, and exterior finishes that give your project real curb appeal and marketability. Whether you're an owner-user, local investor, GC, or developer, we'll help you build it faster, smarter, and built to last.

We're proud to showcase the completion of this boat and RV storage development in Shawnee, Oklahoma for U Store It.

The project consists of three pre-engineered metal buildings totaling 78,430 SF, providing secure, accessible storage space designed to meet growing demand for recreational vehicle and boat storage in the area.

While the finished product appears seamless, the site presented a unique challenge. Significant grade changes across the property required the buildings to be carefully designed with multiple step-downs to accommodate the uneven terrain while maintaining functionality, efficiency, and a cohesive appearance across the development.

Projects like this highlight the flexibility of pre-engineered metal building systems and the importance of thoughtful planning when site conditions aren't straightforward.

Thank you to owner Bryan L. for the opportunity to be part of this project and for trusting SteelCo Buildings to help bring the vision to life.

What starts as one building can become something much bigger. We're proud to showcase the ongoing expansion of Scott's self-storage development in Logansport, Indiana — a project that has grown across four phases, expanding from an initial 6,000 SF structure, to a 9,200 SF addition, an 11,760 SF expansion, and a final 8,400 SF building, totaling 35,360 SF of completed steel construction.

With multiple buildings now visible on site and the property continuing to grow step by step, this project is a testament to what long-term investment in a local market can look like. Each phase represented continued commitment to meeting growing self-storage demand in the area.

Projects like this highlight the value of building with a long-term partner — one who understands your vision from phase one and carries it through to completion. We're especially grateful for the continued trust placed in Brandon Stapp and the SteelCo Buildings team throughout this ongoing expansion.

Thank you, Scott, for the continued confidence in SteelCo Buildings and for trusting us to grow alongside your development!

🏟 New on the Blog: Indoor Sports Facilities — Structural Requirements & Span Considerations
Indoor sports facilities demand more than square footage alone — they require the right structural system to support clear spans, safe play, ceiling height, equipment loads, and long-term performance. Our latest article breaks down the key planning and design considerations behind successful indoor athletic facilities.

🔹 Why Clear Span Matters — Wide-open interiors without interior columns are critical for courts, fields, rinks, and sight lines
🔹 Span Needs by Sport — Different requirements for basketball, volleyball, soccer, hockey, indoor track, and multi-sport complexes
🔹 Structural System Options — Rigid frames, multi-span frames, and truss systems
🔹 Cost Drivers — Span width, eave height, roof loads, foundation demands, and specialty finishes all impact budget

Whether you’re planning a gym, turf field, rink, or multi-use sports complex, this guide offers a practical look at how structure and span decisions shape performance and cost from the start.
