abandoned warehouse
Empty industrial building
An abandoned warehouse is a large commercial storage building that has been vacated and left unused, typically falling into disrepair.
The phrase functions as a stock setting in fiction and news—the place where illicit deals go down, bodies are discovered, or urban explorers trespass: Police found the stolen goods in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.
In real life, such buildings attract squatters, graffiti artists, and developers eyeing conversion to lofts.
