Class A commercial properties come with the highest quality attributes and amenities, such as location, local public services, public transportation access, surrounding infrastructure, building finishes and features, and even the competence of the property\u2019s management group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common areas where you will find Class A commercial real estate are city centers, business districts, suburban business parks, and urban marketplaces. Although Class A space is more catered to higher profile tenants, as well as national or regional companies, they can also be well-suited for local businesses. Keep in mind, this is the highest-priced type of commercial real estate. For this reason, many business owners lease this type of commercial space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Allocating Square Footage for Common Office Workspaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The average office setting for Class A properties include several different types of work and break areas, both indoor and outdoor. These include open-concept workstations, cubicles, private offices, conference rooms, break rooms, reception areas, storage rooms, mail rooms, and similar corporate or professional office area staples. By allocating the proper amount of square footage for each space, you can better control commercial office construction and post-occupancy expenses, while also protecting your bottom line. Well-organized office plans promote energy efficiency, cost savings, employee morale, improved staff productivity, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>General Guidelines for Class A Office Spaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <strong>PRIVATE OFFICE SPACES:<br>\u21aa Executive \u2013<\/strong> 200 &#8211; 400 sq. ft.<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong> <strong>Managerial \u2013 <\/strong>150 &#8211; 250 sq. ft.<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong> <strong>Other \u2013<\/strong> 90 &#8211; 150 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <strong>CUBICLES \u2013<\/strong> 125 &#8211; 175 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <strong>OPEN WORK SPACES \u2013<\/strong> 60 &#8211; 110 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <strong>OUTSIDE LOUNGE AREAS \u2013<\/strong> 200- 300 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <strong>RECEPTION\/LOBBY \u2013<\/strong> 100 &#8211; 200 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <strong>GROUP SPACES:<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>Conference Rooms \u2013<\/strong> 50 sq. ft. plus 25 sq. ft per seat<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong> <strong>Lunch\/Break Rooms \u2013<\/strong> 75 sq. ft. plus 10 sq. ft per seat<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong> <strong>Work Rooms \u2013<\/strong> 125 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <strong>OTHER WORK ROOMS:<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>Mail Room \u2013<\/strong> 125 &#8211; 200 sq. ft.<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong> <strong>Print Room \u2013<\/strong> 125 &#8211; 200 sq. ft.<br><strong>\u21aa<\/strong> <strong>Storage Room \u2013<\/strong> 200 &#8211; 300 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Would you like to learn more about building a new commercial office space in Indianapolis, Indiana? <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bafcorp.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact BAF Corporation<\/a> at 317-253-0531 to request your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bafcorp.com\/commercial-construction-services\/office-commercial-use-construction.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commercial office construction<\/a> bid, today.
