Shared Office Space

[Bob Mastroianni]

I am working on a rehab of a mixed-use property & looking for some advice about the office section of the property. The property has a unit that would be required to remain as commercial (first floor) and the 2nd floor will be apartments. I am considering turning the 1st floor into a shared office facility, one where different businesses can each rent office space. I realize that there are certain things that I will need to offer them in order to make the facility enticing to business owners. I'm looking for advice about what those things specifically would be. Also, any tips on how to find & keep the best tenants.

@Bob Mastroianni I'm in the middle of a development project right now where I'm turning the second floor into executive offices. The obvious ones are individual phone lines to each office (I'm running mine through a switchboard in case I want to add a common receptionist at a latter date), data outlets, plugs on each wall, keycard building access, secure door locks on each office, etc. People have been 50/50 on whether they would pay more for a copier. Two things I was surprised folks want is a big reception area instead of a conference room, and individual mailing addresses... Let me know if I can be of any help
