Office Tenants moving up in the world!
Office moves are currently presenting Tenants with an ideal opportunity to move into better, cheaper and more appropriate office space.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Office Tenants that are relocating their businesses are moving up in class from Class B properties to Class A Office Space.
Office space that was once out of reach for many tenants during the boom times is now a very real option for smaller to mid-size companies. As you can imagine, it is a very attractive proposition for a company to move office into a higher classification property when they are being offered low rental rates, rent free periods and tenant improvement allowances!
All landlords have a constant challenge to fill their properties with tenants - but now Class B properties are having to fight harder than ever to hold on to their tenants. Why? Because while Class A Office Landlords can lower their rental rates (in order to fill their properties), the Class B Office Landlords are unable to increase their building classification without significant capital investment. And it is this dynamic that is at the core of the surge of tenants now moving office into Class A Office Buildings.
Office leasing activity currently stands above the 2003-2008 average and, in the race to secure tenants, the market is seeing agrgressive tactics from all parties involved. With many businesses looking to exploit market conditions, HelpMovingOffice.com, has put together some useful information for Tenants that are thinking about moving office.
