4 Things to Consider When Shopping for Office Space in NYC

If you’re looking for office space in NYC, you know there are a lot of options available. In fact, there may be such a smorgasbord of options that you’re not even sure where to start. Turnkey Office Space would love to help you to find the workspace that’s ideal for your needs.

Here are some things that we take into consideration and advise our customers to think about when searching for the right office space in NYC.

1-Location, location, location!

We can’t stress enough the importance of finding an office space in the right location. Is it in a location that’s near transportation so you can get there easily? Is it in a neighborhood that you like and that you’d feel comfortable walking through at night? Is it near places that interest you, such as coffee shops, restaurants and stores that you like? These are the types of things you should think about.

2-Amenities

Most office spaces in NYC come with a whole suite of amenities. Some amenities – like free WiFi, 24/7 access, and free coffee and water are fairly standard. Others, like concierge service, recreation rooms and exercise classes, can vary from place to place. You should try to find an office space that offers the amenities that are most important to you.

3-Technology

We’ve already mentioned that you’ll get free access to WiFi at most office spaces in NYC. However, some will offer faster speeds than others. But speed isn’t everything, you also want to be sure your information and documents are secure when working online. Be sure to look for a location strong security features built into its network. Some places will even offer access to secure cloud platforms where you can securely work and store your documents and files. Besides speed and security, look for an office space that is designed with technology in mind – for instance, it has lots of charging stations and electrical receptacles that are easy to access—and be sure that you pick an office where your cell phone gets good reception.

4-Community

Think about the types of workers you’ll be sharing the office space with and try to find a space that has a community where you’ll fit in. After all, one of the main purposes of being in a shared office space is to be around like-minded individuals with whom you can collaborate. If you’re a writer or graphic designer, for example, you might not want to share an office space primarily used by stockbrokers.
