Ask about Cambridge office space.
Your contact details
This inquiry goes to our commercial team. It is not a lease application, reservation, financing approval or municipal permit request.
Choose the location.
Inspect the actual office.
Kendall Square and Harvard Square are different Cambridge search areas; they are not interchangeable names for one office district. Compare the actual address, staff access and business requirements. A life-science business also needs to distinguish ordinary office space from a laboratory rather than assuming an office can accommodate lab work.
Ask our team about a specific address or your search criteria. Availability and terms need a current property-by-property check.
Compare before committing
The office.
The agreement. The costs.
Separate office and laboratory requirements
Tell us whether you need desk-based office space, an office beside a separate lab or premises for laboratory operations. List equipment, services, deliveries and building requirements. Confirm proposed uses and alterations with the owner and appropriate authorities; an office address alone does not establish laboratory suitability.
Compare the full quoted occupancy cost
Ask for a current quote for the exact suite and how its rent is calculated. Include operating charges, utilities, fit-out, services and future increases. Older citywide rent and vacancy figures do not establish the cost or availability of the space you can lease now.
Size the office for staff and realistic growth
Include workstations, meetings, storage, privacy and visitors in your requirements. Compare a private suite with shared facilities if either could work. Do not lease the smallest possible space without checking operational needs, or excess space based on assumed rapid growth.
Inspect alterations before budgeting for them
A space needing work may warrant consideration, but compare a documented scope and cost with a ready-to-use alternative. Ask who performs and pays for the work and what permissions are needed. Do-it-yourself work is not automatically permitted or a saving.
Check the landlord, services and vacancy history
Ask how maintenance requests, building access and services are handled. If a suite has been marketed for a long time, investigate condition and terms; time on the market does not prove the owner will accept a lower price. Treat claimed premium features as items to inspect.
Negotiate terms and have the documents reviewed
Discuss rent changes, renewal, fit-out and other terms rather than only the opening rent. Have a real estate attorney review the agreement before signing. Send our commercial team your Cambridge area, use, size, budget and timing to discuss property options and visits; this form does not unlock a commercial listing feed.
Compare the building, not just its class
Class A, B and C labels can help organize an office search, but they do not establish a particular building’s condition or suitability. Compare the actual suite, elevators, heating and cooling, security, management, parking and internet service. Ask which services are included and which cost extra.
Price the whole lease
Ask for the quoted area, rent period, base rent and separate operating charges. Compare utilities, parking, repairs, improvements and deposits, not just the headline rent. Discuss the term, renewal, expansion and sublease terms with our commercial team and have your attorney review the proposed agreement.
Consider buying without assuming a return
If you expect to occupy the property for years, compare a purchase with leasing. Review financing, taxes, insurance, maintenance and required improvements with the appropriate professionals. Ownership does not guarantee lower costs, tax savings or appreciation; renting unused space to others also requires review of the property and agreement.
Market your office property
If you own an office suite, building or mixed-use property, send our team its address, floor area, current use, occupancy and your sale or leasing plans. We can discuss how to describe the premises and compare relevant properties. Do not treat an old asking price, regional vacancy figure or growth forecast as today’s value.
Before you sign or start work
Your use.
The written terms. The approvals.
Discuss the office with our commercial team. Ask your attorney to review the agreement, your lender about financing and the municipality about the approvals for your business. A location guide does not settle those property-specific questions.
An office for your work.
A plan for your property.
Send the address or search area, business use, size, budget and timing.
