Office Space That Works For You: Must-Have Amenities Beyond the Square Footage

Finding the right office space is about more than just the rent price. The amenities offered can significantly impact employee productivity, client experience, and your business’s overall success. Before you sign that lease, consider these key factors:

Workspace Essentials

• Flexible Layout: Can the space adapt if your team grows, or you need to reconfigure? Movable walls are a plus.
• High-Speed Internet: Reliable, robust internet is non-negotiable. Learn what’s included and any upgrade options.
• Natural Light: Boosts morale and reduces eye strain. Avoid windowless basements or spaces with few exterior walls.
• Climate Control: Can employees customize the temperature or are they at the mercy of a single thermostat?
• Kitchenette: Even a small break area with a fridge and microwave provides a space to recharge.

Building-Wide Considerations

• Parking: Is there ample, easily accessible parking for employees AND clients? Are there fees involved?
• Security: After-hours access for your team, secure lobbies, etc. are key, depending on your operating schedule.
• Location: Proximity to public transit, restaurants, etc., matters for employee satisfaction and ease of client visits.
• Maintenance & Cleaning: A well-maintained building makes a positive impression on both clients and employees.
• Shared Common Areas: Lobbies, or even small outdoor spots offer space for informal meetings or a mental break.

Those “Nice to Have” Extras

• On-Site Gym: Promotes employee wellness and saves them time commuting to a separate gym.
• Cafe or Food Options: Convenient for those days you can’t escape for lunch, and can attract quality talent.
• Conference Room Access: If you don’t need a dedicated one in your space, are there bookable shared ones?
• Package Receiving: Secure mail handling is a bonus if your business gets frequent deliveries.
• “Green” Features: Energy efficiency, sustainable practices reflect your company values, and may even lower operating costs.
