Leather District office space.
A fit for your business.

Specify desks, private rooms, meeting facilities, storage and growth you can reasonably plan for. Compare a converted warehouse with a conventional office by usable layout and services, not just total square footage.

Ask about maintenance arrangements, building access and responsibilities in the proposed lease. Where appropriate, speak with current tenants and assess reviews in context. A good-looking suite does not establish responsive management.

For premises needing repairs or fit-out, establish who pays, what approvals apply and when the office could open. Compare the whole cost with a ready-to-use alternative. Do not assume a fixer-upper necessarily saves money.

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.

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.

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.

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.
