We got lucky but were out on NFB inbetween n.tonawanda and wheatfield, its a private owner so rent isnt ridiclious.
There is actually a place about 1 mile away from here thats up for rent now, Id say 3000+ sq feet, its a garage / warehouse. Not far from bob weavers yamaha.
Im sure you know already but stay away from benderson, mj peterson, plaza group, etc…all those will bend you over with a rusty corn cob holder for rent and make it a min. 3 year lease usually. Benderson is the worst, I think he thinks this is california or something.
Try to find privatley owned, cheapest and easiest.
For the most part though the rent prices around here dont match the demand and economy, which sucks.
Hope that helps a bit.
