Warehouse and office at one address — your team and your goods under one roof
What is stock-office space, and who is it for?
Stock-office is a warehouse with a proper office component in the same building — typically 20–50% of the area is office and staff space, the rest warehouse or light production. It suits companies that want administration and goods at one address: e-commerce, distributors, service and assembly businesses.
In a stock-office building the office part is designed as proper workspace — heating, ventilation, daylight, sanitary facilities and often a separate entrance. In a plain warehouse the office tends to be a small administrative corner by the gates. That is why the stock-office rate per m² sits above pure warehouse and below an office in a business centre.
The rate is usually a weighted average of the two parts: the warehouse portion closer to €4.50–6.50/m²/month and the office portion €8–12/m²/month, depending on building class and location. Add the service charge, utilities and 21% VAT on top.
In most Riga stock-office properties the office share is 20–50% of the unit. In some buildings it can be adjusted before signing — for example by building an additional office floor above the warehouse area, if the lease term justifies it.
