Upton office space.
A fit for your business.

Identify desks, client meeting rooms, privacy and any shared facilities. An open creative workspace and a confidential professional office have different needs. Check noise, access and permitted activity before choosing.

Compare the written term, consent, renewal, exit and costs with uncertain growth. Do not assume every landlord requires five to seven years or every purchase needs the same down payment. Ask the relevant professionals about the proposal.

If offering shared space or a whole property, specify area, privacy, services, condition, occupancy and timing. Check the right to share or sublease. Advertising does not guarantee a quicker transaction or uninterrupted help with the rent or mortgage.

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.
