Popular Types of Commercial Buildings
Peruse the various commercial building types offered by Sunward Steel
Commercial properties must adhere to strict zoning laws and building ordinances, which may limit the size, height and other aspects of your building. Metal buildings are especially ideal in areas where building and zoning requirements are extensive, because the steel spans in their framing systems are adaptable, meaning you can customize, expand or reconfigure yours based on need or requirement. Buildings we frequently supply for retail and commercial purposes include:
- Office Buildings
- Storefronts/Retail Buildings
- Gyms and Training Facilities
- Automotive Shops
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing Operations
While steel has long been a building material of choice for those erecting factories and warehouses, steel buildings have become increasingly customizable and attractive over time, dramatically boosting their popularity across virtually all industries. Nowadays, you can utilize windows, skylights, color and trim combinations, and other elements to ensure that your commercial or retail operation is not only functional, but fashionable as well.
Popular Commercial & Retail Building Sizes
Economical, versatile and easy to erect and maintain, pre-engineered steel buildings make ideal commercial and retail operations. Whether you need to adapt your building for use as a restaurant, store, office complex, medical facility or another type of commercial entity, we can help you create a steel commercial or retail building that accommodates you, your staff and your customers’ specific needs.
Commercial steel buildings can be customized to fit your exact business needs. Some common building sizes are
- 40×60
- 50×100
- 50×200
40’x60’ Commercial & Retail Buildings
Perfect for small retail outlets, locally owned hardware or auto parts purveyors and other small-to-medium-sized business ventures, Sunward Steel’s 40’x60’ commercial and retail buildings boast open, clear-span designs you can customize in line with your needs. Whether you need accommodations for a commercial kitchen, ample space for storing and displaying products or the infrastructure necessary for a high-tech medical facility, a 40’x60’ commercial or retail building can provide an affordable, adaptable and low-maintenance building solution that adheres to your specific objectives.
50’x100’ Commercial & Retail Buildings
Sunward Steel’s 50’x100’ commercial and retail buildings are a top choice among those looking to create strip malls, breweries, wineries, auto shops and other commercial or retail operations. No longer must steel buildings look industrial or “skyscraper-like” in nature – instead, you can utilize any number of customization options to make your 50’x100’ commercial or retail building uniquely yours, from glass-front entryways and skylights to veneers and other elements that enhance aesthetics and curb appeal.
50’x200’ Commercial & Retail Buildings
Sunward Steel’s expansive, fully customizable 50’x200’ pre-engineered commercial and retail buildings are ideal for those seeking building solutions for medium-to-large businesses, with many who purchase them using them as storage facilities, strip malls, medical offices and other types of commercial and retail operations.
