CARLSBAD, CA, UNITED STATES, February 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MakoRabco, a national leader in self storage and light industrial design-build construction, today announced its strategic partnership with Flex Space Nation, a business-building platform accelerating growth of the flex space asset class.
Flex space — a hybrid of self storage, light industrial, and small business workspace — is emerging as one of the most talked-about product types in commercial real estate. Driven by the rise of small businesses, contractors, ecommerce operators, and service providers, demand is increasing for properties that allow tenants to operate, not just store.
Through this partnership, MakoRabco will serve as a strategic development and construction partner, supporting owners and developers seeking to evaluate and execute flex space projects in markets across the country.
“Flex space represents a natural evolution in how commercial properties serve today’s tenants,” said Sarah Swingler, Director of Business Development at MakoRabco. “This isn’t about replacing self storage or traditional industrial — it’s about expanding how developments can perform by meeting changing business needs. Our partnership with Flex Space Nation helps bring clarity, consistency, and real-world construction expertise to this growing segment.”
Flex Space Nation is working to standardize the language, design expectations, and market understanding around flex space, helping brokers, developers, investors, and lenders align on what this product type is, and why it matters. As more markets experience demand from small business users seeking adaptable space, the need for informed development strategies continues to grow.

For commercial real estate professionals, the rise of flex space signals an opportunity to broaden tenant reach, enhance lease durability, and diversify revenue streams within a single project. When thoughtfully integrated alongside self storage or light industrial components, flex space can strengthen overall asset performance while responding to evolving tenant behavior.
With decades of experience delivering high-performance self storage and light industrial facilities, MakoRabco brings practical insight into how flex space can be planned, designed, and built to meet both operational and financial goals.
