386 Mini Warehouse

These are warehouses subdivided into cubicles of generally small size and are designed primarily to be rented for non-commercial storage. The interior cubicles are divided with either masonry, metal or wood frame walls. Drywall is a common interior finish on the framed walls. They are typically built with slab floors. The better qualities have some electrical in each unit and may include some office or living space.
