Employees don’t want to sit at a cubicle for eight hours a day, five days a week. They barely see natural sunlight unless it’s on their break. Studies show people who are deprived of sunlight, get to get less sleep and physical activity. Employees who work in cubicles are more likely to get sick than people with private offices. In addition to the health problems the cubicle environment can cause, it can also make employees unproductive.

Chances are your employees spend a substantial amount of time in the office. When they’re in the office more than almost anywhere else, your employees don’t want to find themselves sequestered in tiny cubes, sitting in uncomfortable desk chairs and staring at drab office walls.

Find that hidden accessible storage space that’s looming in your office that you are desperately craving.

How many times have you been stressed because of the lack of accessible storage space in your office? You need room for a desk, printer or table but have nowhere to put it. Most likely there is room, you just have not found it yet. There are strategies that you can take that will provide you with the storage space your office desperately needs.

We’re already one month into the new year, and you still haven’t had a chance to start redesigning your office space. It’s understandable, owning a business comes with an endless amount of responsibilities. Business owners are faced with constant decisions that need to be made. It could be anything from marketing, customer retention, staff development, and accounting, to purchasing office furniture. All of which are extremely important; yes, even purchasing office furniture. When redesigning your office space, you should consider a universal design. It is a fairly new concept that more businesses are adopting. But what exactly is universal design you ask?

If finding the perfect tenant for your properties is the single hardest part of being a property manager then staying current on the recent trends in office space design is a close second. Companies today are finding a huge shift toward their culture, from defining it to bringing it to life. One of the biggest ways that a business sets the tone of their culture is through the visuals of their working space.

The devil is always in the details. When adding on to, redesigning, or building out your office space, furniture may be the last thing on your mind. But, the truth is you should be considering your office furniture one of your best employees! Who else stays late (or never leaves), is always there when you need them, and does their job without fail?

Operating and growing a business demands your attention be divided into hundreds of different directions. Marketing, sales, service delivery, account, staff development, with so many important areas to focus on, your office space may seem like the last place you’d want to devote any of your time and resources. But, the truth is, once you’ve gotten your metaphorical feet off the ground, ensuring that your office space is providing the optimum environment to support your growth is vital.

There are many reasons why commercial tenants become dissatified in the space they do business in. One very simple reason - space. 

The world is getting smaller. Or, at least, it’s beginning to feel that way. As telecommuting gets easier, and companies begin focusing more on the work-life balance, office space is no longer the tremendous necessity it once was. In short, your tenants just don't need you like you need them, and that can quickly become a costly situation. In fact, for some companies, the only thing keeping them in their current space could be the positive relationship they've cultivated with you as a property management company. So, how can you keep all of your tenants happy (and paying) now that the demand for office space is starting to diminish?

Picture an office building. It’s a rectangular structure, carved up into rectangular rooms; it makes total sense to fill it all with rectangular workspaces…
