Commercial Space

There is currently office, retail, and light industrial space available in a variety of sizes.  Rates range from $8 to $23/sq. ft./year depending on type of space, requirements, configuration, and condition of the property.  Typical lease terms for commercial space range from 1-5 years. Referrals to commercial property owners and/or brokers are available at no charge from Los Alamos Commerce & Development Corporation.

The Los Alamos Small Business Center operates business incubator facilities that provide office space to starting/growing small businesses.  The facilities provide tenants with common use reception, business services, equipment, and meeting space.  Direct internet access service via a T1 connection is available.  Rentals are typically at market rates.  Flexible/short-term leases are possible.

The 44 acre Los Alamos Research Park opened in early 2001 with an 84,000 s.f. multi-tenant light lab and office building.  Los Alamos Research Park is immediately adjacent to the main technical area at LANL.  The park is master planned for four additional buildings.

Los Alamos County approved a downtown redevelopment plan in April 2002 that holds the promise of improving commercial space availability in the downtown in the coming years.
