What is temporary warehousing?
Temporary warehousing is project-based warehouse space secured for a defined period without long-term lease obligations. Use cases include construction material staging near job sites, product launch inventory holding, event logistics and promotional campaigns, seasonal retail overflow, and interim storage during facility transitions or relocations. In Canada, temporary warehousing is available in most major markets with activation timelines as short as 48 hours. Unlike permanent warehouse leases that require 3-5 year commitments, temporary warehousing operates on flexible terms from weeks to months with no capital expenditure for racking or infrastructure. Typical 2026 pricing follows overflow rates at $0.85 to $2.40 per square foot per month all-in depending on the market (Warehouse Bridge network data, 2026). Most temporary deployments run 3 to 12 months, with receiving, put-away, and inventory visibility provided by the host facility for the duration of the project.
A retail chain needed project-based warehousing for a 3-month import program. Warehouse Bridge structured the whole thing, including facility, labor, and receiving schedule, in under a week.

What Operations Teams Experience
Real results from temporary deployments across Canada.
A CPG brand needed 50,000 sq ft for a 3-month product launch. Warehouse Bridge deployed the space, managed receiving, and handled outbound, then wound it down after the campaign.
A retail shipper had a lease expire before its new DC was ready. Warehouse Bridge deployed interim warehousing for 4 months with zero disruption to customers.
An agriculture operator needs seasonal storage for harvest. Warehouse Bridge deploys capacity on schedule each year, scaling up in August and winding down by November.
