Midtown Executive Suite Checklist
Here are ten quick tips for NYC executive office suite selection:
- Take a tour of the Manhattan executive suites you are interested in before you sign the agreement.
- During your viewing of the desired NYC office business center, find out what is included exactly and what is an additional charge. Sometimes the center's salesperson will emphasize only the rent of the office leaving out hidden fees.
- Take notes about the location of the Midtown shared space that you view. Manhattan has different areas. It is invaluable during the colder (or hotter!) months to be near public transportation. The Grand Central District of Midtown and the area known as the Plaza District house the best companies AND the best executive office suites.
- Bring a camera on your tour and photograph the different types of offices. Your knowledgeable sales rep will show you both the type of New York office space you are looking for as well as a larger office to eventually expand into when your business grows.
- Find out whether you have the option to move into a smaller suite in an emergency. No one likes to anticipate downgrading, but it could keep your company afloat in a financial crisis. Family-owned office business centers in New York City who take a longer view may be more understanding in these scenarios.
- Before you start looking, know your timing for your corporate relocation. The commercial real estate market can change on a dime. If you fall in love with that singular New York City executive office suite and have your heart set on it, you may either wind up either disappointed, or paying more than you intended.
- Allow yourself adequate time to look for Midtown commercial office space. Adequate time allows you to browse various Manhattan office space types, and then to narrow the search and tour the most appealing part of New York City for your business.
- Factor the cost of your commute (in money, and time!) into the monthly office fee.
- Find out what amenities are available before you compare rates. For example you may need to factor the cost of coffee every day into your rent if an office business center does not include it. These differences really add up.
- Does the NY commercial executive office suite you are touring have meeting space for rent? Are meeting rooms essential to your business? See point nine and factor in the cost of renting hourly office space and conference space if they are an essential part of your business.
