Methodology

Annual budget = monthly × 12, divided by the all-in $/sf benchmark (Class A rent + ~$18 opex + ~$4 property tax) to estimate target rentable sq ft. Low–high band is ±10–15% to capture sub-market variance. Headcount range uses 220 sf/private, 130 sf/open, 100 sf/hybrid. Submarket matches show neighborhoods within 15% of the implied $/sf budget, ordered cheapest-first.

How to use it

1. Set your monthly budget — Total all-in $/month you can dedicate to occupancy.
2. Pick a city — Local benchmarks for rent, opex, and tax are loaded automatically.
3. Choose work style — Private offices need ~2× the area of hybrid hot-desking.
4. Read the matches — See target sq ft, plausible headcount, and matching submarkets to tour.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real listings?

No — submarket matches are indicative of typical Class A inventory in that area. Use them to shortlist neighborhoods, then engage a broker for live availability.

Does the budget include fit-out?

No — fit-out">fit-out is a separate capex line. Use the Fit-out Budget Estimator to size it.

What does 'all-in $/sf' include?

Base rent + operating expenses (opex / service charge) + property tax. Excludes fit-out, parking, and tenant electricity.

Why does headcount have such a wide range?

Density choices (private vs hybrid) swing required area by more than 2×. The range reflects realistic outcomes once you pick a layout.
