Effect of Covid-19 on Office Space Demand
While the degree of impact the pandemic will have on future demand is still unclear, it is certain that the sector will be making some changes. A renewed focus on hygiene will create a need for more “touchless” features, and sanitary workplaces. In addition, the trend of shared office spaces is sure to change directions again. In recent years, the space required per employee had been shrinking, and we expect that figure to reverse. While the usable area requirements vary by industry, a general rule-of-thumb had been approximately 150 USF per person. Going forward, that number is sure to increase.

There has also been discussion among executives that employees may share offices, but rather than occupying the space simultaneously, the employees would trade days of the week, and alternately work remotely.
It is true that modern technologies have demonstrated that working from home can be effective. However, there is no substitute face-to-face collaboration, and the traditional office will maintain its integral role in a firm’s ability to attract new talent, and present a professional workplace to its clients.
Tenant Representation
If you work with a professional office real estate broker in Florida, be certain they understand the zoning standards and demographics in the area you wish to locate, and that they have the capabilities to research the local competition. A good tenant representative will ask the important questions to ensure that you are finding the best value, and an ideal location for your business. Sperry Commercial - Flint Brokers & Associates will negotiate the best purchase price (or lease rate), along with terms for professional relocation, and build-out concessions.

We deliver sophisticated leasing solutions through our detailed asset assessments, branding and market positioning, and a proactive approach to leasing and tenant retention.

With our global network, and sophisticated marketing platforms, Sperry Commercial - Flint Brokers & Associates has access to a large, and qualified tenant base.
Establish Client Needs
In addition to helping our clients determine the best value locations to lease or acquire, we will also discuss the office submarkets available:
Class ‘A’ Office Space
Class ‘A’ offices are comprised of the best, and newest space you will find in the market. They are typically located in urban centers, and professionally managed. Generally, class ‘A’ buildings are either new developments, or comprise properties with considerable renovations and improvements in recent years. While you can expect the latest amenities, you can also expect the highest rates.
Class ‘B’ Office Space
Class ‘B’ offices are usually a little older than Class ‘A’ spaces, but are still located in larger buildings with the traditional central lobbies. They are often in suburban locations, but still in central business districts along higher traffic routes. Generally speaking, they still have good quality management and tenants, but less amenities. Rental rates for buildings in this category are usually lower than Class ‘A’ buildings, and can offer a great value to the right tenants and investors.
Class ‘C’ Office Space
Class ‘C’ offices are the lowest classification of office buildings. These properties are older, and are often in farther away from main traffic routes. They generally have minimal amenities, and are slower to lease. However, they can also an excellent lower-cost option for smaller businesses that still need office space.
Medical Offices
Medical office buildings, also known as MOBs, are office facilities specifically designed for health care practices. They can be located in areas zoned specifically for health-care, or in more general professional office developments. They are generally designed with a central reception area, and several exam rooms intended to enhance patient outcomes and improve the patient experience.
There has been some upheaval for small health-care practices in recent years, so the sector has generally underperformed in Brevard County and Central Florida. However, because of this, these properties can offer a very good value proposition, and an increasing number of these assets in the area have been repurposed.
