FAQ
Common Questions About Inland Empire Tenant Representation
How much does office space cost in the Inland Empire?
TenantBase's Q2 2026 Inland Empire market report puts office asking rent at $2.23–$2.45 per SF per month on a full-service gross basis, with vacancy running 4.8%–6.1% across core submarkets. Lease-term preference is heavily weighted toward short-term commitments — 51.72% of office tenants sign leases under 1 year, followed by 2–3 year (20.69%) and 5+ year (20.69%) terms, with 1–2 year and 3–5 year leases far less common. An Inland Empire partner broker can pull current asking rates for the specific submarket and size range you need.
How much do retail and industrial/warehouse space cost in the Inland Empire?
TenantBase's Q2 2026 Inland Empire report puts retail asking rent at $1.70–$1.77 per SF NNN monthly, with vacancy at 6.8%–7.1% — Riverside (38 deals), Murrieta (21), and Corona (16) lead retail deal volume. Industrial and warehouse space runs $1.02–$1.05 per SF NNN monthly with vacancy of 8.5%–8.7%, and the construction pipeline has pulled back sharply to 3.3 million SF, down from a 40.6 million SF peak. An Inland Empire partner broker can provide current pricing for a specific property type and submarket.
What type of commercial space is most in demand in the Inland Empire?
Based on 222 active TenantBase tenant searches tracked over the past 90 days, flex / industrial leads active demand in the Inland Empire at 30.2%, followed by office at 26.1%, retail / storefront at 25.2%, warehouse at 16.7%, and medical at 1.8%. TenantBase's own Q2 2026 Inland Empire market report tracks demand with a coarser, three-bucket breakdown over a different window that ranks retail first: Retail/Storefront 53.17% (235 deals), Warehouse 40.05% (177 deals), and Office 8.14% (36 deals).
What Inland Empire submarkets does TenantBase cover?
TenantBase's partner brokers cover submarkets across the Inland Empire, including Ontario, Riverside, Fontana, Corona, Chino, San Bernardino, and Pomona, spanning office, retail, industrial, warehouse, and medical property types. The Q2 2026 market report also tracks meaningful deal volume in Murrieta and Temecula.
What lease terms are most common for Inland Empire tenants?
Lease-term preferences vary by property type — TenantBase's Q2 2026 Inland Empire report shows office tenants strongly favoring short-term (under 1 year) leases (51.72%), industrial/warehouse tenants favoring 2–3 year terms (37.50%), and retail tenants most often signing 3–5 year leases (27.78%). An Inland Empire partner broker can help you weigh the right term length for your specific search and property type.
How much office space do I need per employee?
Plan on roughly 150–250 square feet per employee for a standard mixed layout: dense, open floor plans run 100–150 SF per person, while spacious or private-office-heavy layouts run 250–350 SF per person. A 10-person team typically needs about 1,500–2,500 SF. An Inland Empire partner broker can help you right-size before touring so you don't pay for space you won't use.
How long does it take to find commercial space in Inland Empire?
Timelines vary by property type and size, but most Inland Empire tenants move from initial search to signed lease in roughly 60–120 days when working with a dedicated tenant representation partner broker.
What does a tenant representation broker do in Inland Empire?
An Inland Empire tenant representation broker works exclusively for a business searching for commercial space — surveying the local market, touring options, and negotiating lease terms on the tenant's behalf, rather than the landlord's. This is different from a listing agent, who represents the landlord and is focused on leasing one specific building; a tenant rep has no incentive to favor any one property.
How do I find office space in Inland Empire?
The fastest way is to work with an Inland Empire tenant rep who already tracks available office inventory across submarkets like Ontario, Riverside, and Fontana — they can surface options that fit your size, budget, and timeline faster than searching listings alone.
Do I need a broker to lease commercial space in Inland Empire?
You're not required to use one, but a tenant representation broker works exclusively for you — not the landlord — and typically costs you nothing, since landlords already budget for the leasing commission. TenantBase connects you with an Inland Empire partner broker who handles tours, comparisons, and negotiation on your behalf at no cost.
Is tenant representation free for businesses?
Yes. Tenant representation typically does not have a direct cost to the business — brokers are compensated by the landlord at lease signing, so working with a TenantBase partner broker is free for the tenant.
What is TenantBase, and how does it work?
TenantBase is a technology platform built for commercial tenants. It pairs a searchable, broker-sourced database of office, retail, industrial, warehouse, and medical space with a network of independently licensed local partner brokers — you browse available Inland Empire space by property type and submarket, get matched with a local partner broker, tour the spaces that fit, and get support through negotiation and signing, all at no cost to the tenant.
