It is a fact that with the advancement of the hybrid work model, companies are rethinking the amount of square footage they need, as well as its characteristics, since these will be key for the return to in-person work, taking into account that there are still companies that have not fully returned to normal.
The hybrid model is the one that combines remote and office work, and in which some or all employees have the freedom to divide their time between in-person and remote work.
Understanding this, it is important for companies to consider negotiating flexible contracts in which they can add or remove square meters, and this process demands a lot of analysis, development, and monitoring.
Before choosing a new location, many aspects must be evaluated: location, market rental prices, maintenance fees and taxes, space required for your business operations, number of employees who will be relocating, company growth expectations, corporate image, among others. This is why these processes often require significant time and effort from company personnel. Specifically:
Space size: there can be many reasons why a company looks for new locations, ranging from increasing or decreasing staff to achieving improvements in the quality of the space or increasing technological resources.
Another very common factor is the improvement of the location and the search for benefits, which applies very well to companies that have recently moved or are considering moving to the most commercial areas of the city.
In fact, many companies going through this hybrid work model process are showing resistance to this issue because a good location provides practicality and convenience in strategic locations.
The office market, especially the corporate sector, differs from the residential sector. It presents its own technical and commercial aspects, serving a more sophisticated sector in terms of purchasing power and needs.
This undoubtedly requires specialized guidance to help both parties reach a sound contractual agreement. In fact, the most common mistake many companies make is not hiring a certified realtor specializing in the corporate sector to provide timely and professional advice.
Many businesses mistakenly believe that by not hiring a professional broker, they're saving money. But beware! Even the smallest miscalculations can escalate into a more costly problem in the long run.
Therefore, having proper advice not only shortens negotiation times but also improves future relations between landlord and tenant.
