The Growing Importance of Amenities in Commercial Property Leases
In the world of commercial property leases and real estate investment, the importance of accessibility to local amenities is ever-growing to the success of a lease for a new tenant. Occupiers are increasingly evaluating the desirability of a property and its location based on individual criteria, with emphasis on proximity to local amenities; good transportation links; retail/food outlets; outdoor spaces such as parklands; generous parking; with the inclusion of EV Chargers, bicycle lockers and shelters. Taking all aspects into consideration will ensure that occupiers can retain their staff and boost morale, which ultimately leads to a thriving business. Amenities are also an excellent way of building a sense of community for individuals and businesses alike.
According to a recent article from International Workplace Group the top amenities driving business leasing decisions are accessible locations, Eco-conscious build designs, adaptability, smart buildings, glitch-free technology, mix of spaces, self-sustaining communities and wellness amenities. In our post-covid world, with many businesses offering hybrid working for their staff, amenities are a vital part of what tenants will look for when acquiring property to meet the ever-evolving needs of their workforce.
Here at Towngate, we pride ourselves on obtaining commercial properties including both industrial and offices space, within the most desirable of locations, offering access to a range of amenities. The featured properties below are a snapshot of just some of what our portfolio has to offer…
