Austin Office properties come in various sizes, shapes, and classes. Some are old houses converted to office use, and others are skyscrapers in Downtown Austin. The determination of Classes of Austin Office Space can be subjective depending on the marketplace or the landlord/broker listing a particular property, however the basic rules of thumb are as follows:
Traditional Austin Office Space: Typically are multistory buildings with a mix of tenants. Bathrooms, hallways, and lobbies are generally common to all tenants within the building. In most cases landlords take care of all the maintenance, repairs, and cleaning.
Class C Office Space: Class C buildings will generally have lower quality fit and finish to the internal and external decorations and furnishings. The design of such buildings will be basic and will typically demand the lowest rental charges. Such buildings are older than class A or B and lack functionality and modern technology, as well as located in less desirable locations.
Class B Office Space: These office properties boast some but not all of the same features as Class A, although they generally come at a lower rental rate. The buildings will have fewer architectural details than typical Class A buildings.
Class A Office Space: Will have the highest quality fit and finish to the internal furnishings and will tend to have more modern architectural detailing on the outside of the building. Such buildings will typically charge the highest rental rates and include onsite amenities like covered parking, delis, fitness centers, and state-of-the-art technology and communications offerings.
Flex Space: Tend to be one-story, concrete tilt-wall buildings with windows on one side. They provide use flexibility between office, retail, light manufacturing, laboratory, warehouse, etc. Users will generally have their own exterior entrance, private restrooms, and sometimes overhead doors. Lease rates are typically lower than traditional office rates.
