Expanding vertically? Nope. The storage part of the warehouse is typically 4 levels with ten foot ceilings. They have always been under these space constraints and have absolutely already optimized for space vertically.
You could build a taller warehouse, but there's a standard height and there are, I believe, often building code things to prevent taller towers like that. And again, if it was reasonable to do it already, they'd have gone taller already.
- ridgeguy 4y agoHow about excavating? Keep the external height limit but get more vertical space.
- bobthepanda 4y agoExcavation is very expensive. For the limited subset of a parking garage, which generally has much lower ceilings than is normal for other uses, the cost of one underground parking space is around $30,000.
- Jun8 4y agoI work on projects T&L space and this does not fit my experience, in fact large warehouses and DCs are getting taller and most currently are much taller than 10’. Order pickers routinely pick or store items from the 5th and higher levels. Maybe you have in mind a local warehouse?
