This is probably too late, but may help someone. If you're looking for an "industrial" type of setup for a workshop, look at small, local Airports.

There are small airstrip airports all over, and their filled with warehouses that aren't being used. My friend rented a small hanger for a couple hundred (he did small engine repairs) which the owner allowed him to build or do whatever he wanted in there, eventually he made an overnight loft/hangout room on one side when he felt like crashing on late nights. He enjoyed having a dedicated "away from home" space to work and the airport gave him business when locals drove by and saw him working (some local pilots always had stuff that needed work). The really cool bonus part was pilots would just show up and ask if he wanted to go with them for a joy ride, guess it's more fun when you get to share the experience with someone.

This comment tells me you’re from the states, right? There is no other country in the world where GA is as ubiquitous as in the US.

Yeah, they're everywhere so technically 90% of the population is within driving distance to an airstrip here. The same methodology applies to every country though, a lot of people are intimidated by "official" or industrialized settings and don't realize there is a lot of small unused real estate an owner or manager would love to get used by a motivated individual.

Definitely not the case for large corporations but after they move out the facilities usually are struggling to turn a profit and are an easy grab (or government subsidized places are less greedy), it also looks more professional if you're trying to do public work.
