What size office do you need?
Most teams start by estimating headcount, workstyle, meeting needs, and whether they need private offices, open workspace, or a flexible layout. If you are unsure, compare a few size ranges before narrowing the search.
- Under 1,000 sqft can work for small teams, private offices, or focused client meetings.
- 1,000-5,000 sqft often fits growing teams that need a mix of desks, meeting rooms, and shared areas.
- 5,000+ sqft is usually evaluated around department layout, collaboration needs, and future growth.
