Reading office space.
A fit for your business.

An open loft, private suite and shared facility serve different needs. Check furniture, telephone answering, internet, utilities, privacy and access hours. Compare usable area and the whole written service package, not the startup label alone.

Distinguish a suite from a whole building and identify the area your company needs. Inspect condition and proposed changes. If hoping to lease spare rooms or a floor, check access, existing leases and permitted use and budget for vacancy.

Send the address, size, condition, occupancy and timing to our team. Explain whether you would consider a tenant or sale. Current property evidence, not an old area-price hierarchy, should inform the offering.

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.
