Malden office space.
A fit for your business.

Check entrances, room layout, natural light, parking and services. A street-level office and a suite above retail may serve different visitor and visibility needs. Verify advertised features rather than assuming historic architecture includes modern facilities.

Identify the reception area, private rooms, equipment and proposed changes. Ask about permission, approvals and fit-out costs before planning a medical practice or another specialized operation in former retail premises.

Establish what you would own, existing tenants, maintenance and the space available for your own company. Compare financing and carrying costs with a lease. Urban density does not guarantee a profitable redevelopment.

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.
