Warehouse Rent in Riga 2026: How to Compare Offers

Base-rent benchmarks compiled for this 2026 guide: Class A €5.00–6.50/m² and Class B €3.75–4.80/m² per month. Confirm current rent and all additional charges for the actual unit.

  • Guide benchmark, Class A: €5.00–6.50/m²/month
  • Guide benchmark, Class B: €3.75–4.80/m²/month
  • Confirm the current unit price

Compare warehouse rent alongside building specifications and additional charges. The indicative ranges compiled for this 2026 guide were €5.00–6.50/m² per month for Class A offers and €3.75–4.80/m² for Class B. These are base-rent ranges from previously collected offers, not a guaranteed price for a unit available today.

Comparing locations

Mārupe and the airport area. Consider these for airport-related operations or deliveries on Riga’s west bank. Check the route to the relevant terminal, Kārļa Ulmaņa gatve and the A5, as well as staff transport.

Dreiliņi and Stopiņi. Offers include existing parks and development projects. Compare ready premises separately from planned construction, with a clear handover date and scope of landlord works.

Rumbula. Check delivery routes via Latgales iela and the A6. Nearby properties may differ in dock numbers, yard space and office area.

Port surroundings. Base the search on the terminal handling your goods. Port proximity alone does not confirm access to a quay or railway.

Olaine and Salaspils. Include the full delivery route and staff travel in the comparison. Lower rent in one offer does not establish that the entire area is cheaper.

What affects an offer

  • Unit size, office proportion and lease term.
  • Clear height, layout, floor and loading access.
  • Heating, temperature requirements and energy consumption.
  • Readiness, adaptation works and move-in date.

Building class and certificates help with shortlisting. Assess suitability and costs using technical data and the full offer for the actual premises.

Base rent and a full budget

Worked example for a 5,000 m² warehouse. These figures are assumptions to replace with the chosen property’s data, not universal tariffs.

Item€/m² per monthMonthly total
Base rent5.00€25,000
Allocated property tax cost0.25€1,250
Maintenance and common areas0.35€1,750
Insurance0.10€500
Electricity and heating1.20€6,000
Water and sewerage0.15€750
Total of listed items7.05€35,250

The annual total of these items is €423,000. The example excludes VAT, moving, deposit, racking and fit-out. The difference between base rent and the listed total is 41% here; it will differ for another property or operating pattern.

What to request during negotiations

Ask for consistently structured offers with all charges itemised. If you need a preparation period or landlord contribution to fit-out, include this in the brief. Assess incentives alongside the lease term, indexation and other conditions.

Rentful does not charge tenants a fee. The landlord always pays the fee.

Confirm current rent and availability for the chosen unit. Use Rentful’s cost calculator to compare offers with actual building data and clearly identified estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions

+Is the guide’s range a current rental offer?
No. It is a benchmark from previously collected offers. Confirm the current price, available area and timing for the particular property.
+How much should I add to base rent?
Use the actual service charges, taxes, insurance and utilities for the offer. One percentage allowance will not fit every building and operating pattern.
+Which area offers the lowest total cost?
Compare actual offers against the same technical requirements. Include delivery, staff travel and adaptation costs.
