Office

Multi-story office buildings provide a workplace environment for many different companies. Lobbies, hallways, and bathrooms are common to all tenants in the building. In most cases, landlords take care of all the landscaping, maintenance, repairs, and cleaning. The determination of Classes can be subjective; however, according to the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), the class of an office building can be classified into three categories: A, B, and C, with A being the most prestigious and expensive buildings.

Tend to be one-story, concrete tilt-wall industrial property with windows on one side. They provide use flexibility between office, retail, light manufacturing, laboratory, warehouse, etc. Users will generally have their own exterior entrance, private restrooms, and sometimes overhead doors.

In order to recruit and retain top talent, many companies are looking for offices with creative qualities such as open floor plans, reclaimed wood, higher-end finishes, bright colors, high exposed ceilings and ductwork, concrete floors, etc. Creative office space can make it a more fun environment to work and can encourage collaboration and engagement among employees.

If you want something less corporate and more laid back, then consider an old house that is zoned in a commercial district. Here you will have your own entrance and bathroom as well as parking directly in front of the house. Just keep in mind, you may also have to take care of the landscaping.

If you need short term and/or temporary spaces, co-working or executive suites might be the way to go. They tend to be more expensive than traditional office space; however, they are great for those who need month to month terms.
