Occasionally we are asked to do a white box or vanilla shell project for one of our clients. However, we are often asked what “white box” means. This term is often used for a commercial real estate project that leaves a space as a large white room with no interior walls, paint, wall coverings, plumbing fixtures, upgraded electrical, or other finishes except for what code requires.
White Box Build Outs
White boxes are created for commercial property as a blank canvas that gives the future tenant plenty of room to create and design the finish they want when they move into the facility. A white box comes ready for tenant improvements, which are to be completed once the lease agreement has been negotiated and executed.
White box locations do include the basics such as a roof, exterior windows, doors, ceiling, basic flooring, ventilation, basic heating and air, and other items required by code such as bathrooms or fire protection. This form of construction is usually always completed for commercial owners who are looking to market a property to a future tenant.

Cook General Contracting is in the process of finishing up a white box project for two suites at the Roswell Marketplace. Roswell Market Place is a 103,300-square foot neighborhood center anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market in Roswell, Georgia, just north of Atlanta.
