The short version

Four options. One is usually right.

Businesses that need somewhere between 200 and 1,000m² of warehouse space in Sydney fall into a gap. Self-storage is too small and isn't set up for pallets and trucks. Small units do come up through agents, but usually on a three-to-five-year lease. The four realistic options are below, with current costs. Prices are per square metre per year because that is how commercial space is priced in Australia; we convert to weekly where it helps.

Self-storageRoughly $250 to $500 per m² a year for garage-sized units in Western Sydney, GST in. Monthly. A few m² to about 100m².

Shared warehouse spaceRoughly $180 to $300 per m² a year. Monthly or longer. 200m² and up.

Sublease from a tenantOften $150 to $250 per m² a year. Terms inherited. Whatever they have spare.

Traditional leaseRoughly $200 to $250 per m² a year plus outgoings. 3 to 5 years. Usually 1,000m² and up.

Option one

Self-storage.

Best for: household goods, documents, a small amount of stock you rarely touch. Operators: Kennards, National Storage, Storage King, Rent A Space, and plenty of independents.

Size and term: units from a couple of square metres up to garage size, plus a few “mini warehouse” units of up to about 100m²; monthly, no commitment. Cost: in Western Sydney, garage-sized units (about 9 to 60m²) are advertised at roughly $250 to $500 per square metre a year including GST, and small units cost more per square metre (October 2026).

The catch for a business: no truck dock, no forklift, a lift and a trolley, and access rules written for the public. Per square metre it is usually the most expensive option on this page. If you are holding pallets, it is the wrong tool.

Option two

Shared warehouse space (co-warehousing).

Best for: 200 to 1,000m² of business stock, equipment or materials, with trucks and couriers coming and going, on flexible terms. Operators: a small but growing group, including us at Kings Park. The model is a single operator holding a whole building and dividing the floor between businesses.

Size and term: from about 200m², month to month or longer. Cost: roughly $180 to $300 per square metre a year. At Cheap Warehouse Co it is $285 month to month down to $180 on a three-year term, plus GST, outgoings included.

The catch: it is a shared, open floor, not your own locked building. Dock doors and the forklift are shared. If your goods are small and valuable, or your process makes fumes, dust or sparks, it is not for you. If you want your own signage on a building, it is not for you either.

Option three

Sublease from another tenant.

Best for: the lucky. A business with a spare corner lists it on Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace; you move in on a handshake. Size and term: whatever they have, for as long as their lease and their patience last.

Cost: often cheap, $150 to $250 per square metre a year, because the tenant is just offsetting rent. The catch: you inherit their lease terms, their business may move or fold, and the facilities are whatever they have. It works until it doesn't, and when it doesn't you have a week to find a new home for forty pallets.

Option four

A traditional lease through an agent.

Best for: established operators who know their volumes three years out and want their own building. Where: realcommercial.com.au and commercialrealestate.com.au, through agents such as Colliers, CBRE, Knight Frank and the local independents.

Size and term: usually 1,000m² and up, three to five years with options. Cost: Outer West Sydney prime industrial rents are about $200 to $250 per square metre a year net, plus outgoings (rates, insurance, land tax contributions) on top, plus a bond, legal fees, fit-out and make-good at the end. Incentives of about 23 per cent are common on longer terms (Knight Frank, Q2 2026).

The catch: time and commitment. Expect weeks to months from first inspection to keys, and a lease that assumes your business in 2031 looks like your business today.

How to choose

Three questions.

Do trucks need to reach it? If yes, self-storage is out.
Do you know your space needs two years out? If no, a traditional lease is a gamble.
Can you afford to be wrong? A sublease from another tenant is the cheapest option until it ends suddenly.

If trucks need access, your needs will change, and you cannot afford a surprise, shared warehouse space is the fit. That is us, and a handful of others. If none of that applies, one of the other three options may serve you better, and we would rather tell you so than have you unhappy on our floor.

Things people ask.

What is the cheapest way to get 300m² of warehouse space in Sydney?

Per square metre, a sublease from another tenant is often cheapest, at the cost of security of tenure. Shared warehouse space is next, at roughly $180 to $300 per m² a year with the facilities and a proper agreement. A traditional lease is similar per m² but adds outgoings, fees and a multi-year commitment. Self-storage usually costs the most per m²: garage-sized units in Western Sydney are advertised at roughly $250 to $500 a year including GST.

What is co-warehousing?

An operator holds a whole warehouse and divides the floor between businesses, who share the dock doors, forklift and yard and pay per square metre on flexible terms. It is to warehouses what co-working is to offices. Cheap Warehouse Co at Kings Park is one example.

How long does a traditional industrial lease take to get into?

Typically weeks to months: inspections, offer and negotiation, heads of agreement, lease drafting by both sides' lawyers, bond and insurance, then fit-out. Shared warehouse space can be days.
