For Building Owners

Your empty space is
costing you money

Every week a warehouse sits vacant, you're paying rates, insurance, and maintenance on dead square metres. Stop subsidising empty space. Put it to work.

Without OVERFLOW

  • Vacant months between tenants, bleeding cash
  • Paying rates and insurance on empty space
  • Short-term deals fall through the cracks
  • No visibility to operators searching for space
  • Waiting months for a commercial agent to deliver

With OVERFLOW

  • Short-term tenants book directly through the platform
  • Guaranteed payment via Afterpay. No chasing invoices, no late payments
  • Standard licence to occupy agreement. No legal back-and-forth
  • Searchable by every carrier and operator in the region
  • You set the rate, the terms, and the availability

Risk management, built in

Every booking runs on a standard licence to occupy, not a lease. No long-term tenant risk and no complex exit process. You keep full control of your building. Occupants are vetted, payments are guaranteed through Afterpay, and if something goes wrong, the licence can be terminated with clear, predefined terms. Your asset stays protected while it earns.

Your space becomes a launchpad

Businesses expanding into the region, testing a new distribution route, or trialling a market thesis need space, but they don't want a three-year lease to prove a concept. OVERFLOW gives them that low-commitment entry point, and your building is what makes it possible. You attract a broader pool of occupants — startups, seasonal operators, project teams — who would never show up through a traditional agent. More demand, more bookings, less vacancy.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Most spaces can be booked from as little as one week. The minimum term depends on the individual listing, and it's always shown upfront before you commit.
Once you've confirmed a space, access is typically available within 24–48 hours. For urgent needs, some spaces can offer same-day access.
Building insurance is covered by the property owner. We recommend tenants arrange their own contents insurance for stored goods. We can point you to a provider if needed.
No. The price shown on each listing is one all-inclusive weekly rate. Opex (insurance, BWOF, rates, maintenance) is already included, so there's nothing extra to arrange, budget for, or chase up. No agent fees, no setup costs, no outgoings. You pay for the weeks you use and that's it.
Just let us know. Extensions are easy, subject to the space still being available. There's no penalty or renegotiation required.
Only by special arrangement. New Zealand biosecurity rules require imported sea containers to be unpacked at an MPI-approved transitional facility — a site with an MPI-approved operator, where a trained accredited person checks every container for pests and contamination, with results reported to MPI. Approving a new site can take six weeks or more, so devanning can't run at our usual 48-hour pace. If you need devanning capacity, get in touch early and we'll talk through options.
Register your space using the form above. We'll review the details, photograph the space if needed, and create a listing. You set the price and availability. We handle bookings and invoicing. There's no cost to list. We take a small commission only when your space is booked.
