ESTIMATING OFFICE SPACE NEEDS

How much office space does my company really need?

The answer to that question is "it depends". There is a wide range of contributing factors, from physical necessities to aesthetic desires and it requires some due diligence to determine what's best for each particular situation.

The most obvious determinants are the number of workers that will occupy the space and the nature of their individual workspaces (e.g. private offices vs workstations).

In addition to the Layout (partitioned vs open), other considerations include features and amenities required within the space, such as Reception/waiting area, Conference/Meeting room(s), Tel-Data/IT infrastructure space ("Server Room"), Kitchen/Lunch room, etc.

Remember that office space is leased in terms of Rentable Square Feet ("RSF"). RSF includes the actual floor area within the Premises, together with a share of the building's Common Areas. So a less obvious factor that can impact the amount of space required, is the Building Style (Class A building with large common areas vs a boutique building with minimal commom areas).
