Office space went through a renaissance period, being one of the few silver linings that can light up people’s lives. It has shown us how comfort can be redefined into something we don’t wish to leave, while providing a healthy work/leisure ratio. Offices of tomorrow must offer what we didn’t think of and more, to entice us to leave our homes for something better.
1. Wellness & Lifestyle Area
To find balance, we must practice. Working is necessary, but so is exercise and high-end tenants prioritise health over anything else. Small breaks during work hours boost productivity, and it’s up to modern office design to fill this time with options. Quiet rooms can help tenants and office workers shut out the modern world and let all the buzz disappear. A built-in gym area lets people blow off steam and stay fit, but it’s important to incorporate a quality and modern luxury gym design that will add to the property value and people’s workout routine.
Plain, flat roofs are ideal free space for the green oasis, and you can even add solar panels, an outdoor spa, veggie massage rooms and a terrace cafe to further drive home the goal of premium offers. When you realise that the tenants find it hard to leave the space, and prefer spending an exuberant amount of time in it, you know you’ve succeeded.
2. Build Office Communities
When speaking about luxury and premium, you are not only building space, you are building experiences and foundations. People are social beings, and a space that caters to that quality will enhance the community, bringing people together and making them attach to others and the space. We all have a favourite coffee shop, pub, bench, etc, and premium office space can be exactly that.
We’ve mentioned a coffee shop on the roof, but you can expand on that. An office game room with gaming consoles, pool tables, arcades and darts brings healthy competition and laughter to the floor. When people game, they burn calories, and food is the next logical step. Food brings people together, and we are who we eat with, where luxury tenants don’t necessarily need a five-star restaurant, but something new, urban and exciting will tantalise their taste buds.
Search for a young, flashy brand with a dash of elegance and make a communal space for preparing and dining. Sprinkle some presentation and seal it together with a vine bar. Voila, you’ve cooked your future community with a recipe for success.
3. Smart Sustainability
Again, we’ve touched on the topic of solar, but everyone knows about that, and it’s becoming a standard. And luxury tenants want more than what’s standard! Biometric security entrances will add that extra layer of Matrix technology and exclusivity, while also elevating security and making tenants feel they are entering something special.
Having a luxury title and obtaining a green building certification puts you in a special category that luxury tenants search for. Solar power can be used for EV charging places, free electricity and similar. On EVs, you can install EV bicycle stations, where tenants can rent out and enjoy exclusive perks. The more eco-friendly features you put in, the more your exclusivity rises.
4. Exclusive Convenience
People love convenience, and premium tenants demand it. Money makes life easier, and such tenants will go to any lengths to make their lives cushty. Secured parking and 24/7 security are a given, almost boring. You must keep it fresh and include a daycare centre available for all tenants so their work/life balance does not suffer.
Your office space can also become child and pet-friendly, shattering the concept that only suits can walk through here. Luxury tenants work, and anything that makes their work pleasant is priceless.
