The commercial office building market is highly competitive and the need to exceed expectations has never been more important. Try these amenity ideas on for size and see how your building stands out. I like to have a little fun with it, I have created the acronym WWVD "What would Vegas Do". Las Vegas hotels and casinos do everything in their power to ensure their guests do not need to leave the property for anything. As soon as a guest leaves, they are not spending money. Therefore, the guest experience is built around amenities.
The number one most utilized amenity is foodservice. Onsite food service can take on many forms from high end corporate dining facilities to coffee kiosks. What works best for your building depends on the size of the building, the tenant mix, access to such outside the building, allotted space for the amenity. Consulting with an experienced, onsite foodservice provider can be very valuable tool to help determine what will work best for your property.
Safety is another, often overlooked, top tier amenity. Employers want to be ensured the building is doing everything it can to protect the safety and security of employees. Key points to review here are: The presence of onsite security, the security vendors hiring practices, outside lighting, parking garage security measures, building access, elevator access and access to the suites.
Most companies cannot accommodate the multiple sizes or numerous amounts needed of conference facilities. Having conference room facilities that are flexible in size and include all the bells and whistles will help accommodate growing companies with changing needs. Contract with your onsite foodservice provider and include coffee, bottled water and box lunches as part of the reservation process. Todays tenants are all about integration.
A staple for any commercial office building environment is the ability of high speed internet to the suites. Cell service throughout the building and the availability of high speed Wi-Fi throughout the entire building.
Parking can be a game changer, it can also be one of the hardest to make significant changes to without intensive capital improvements. However, it can also provide a significant revenue stream There is a fine balance between charging or not. However, there will always be a market for billable reserved parking spots for every property. Tenants often overlook, until its too late, the availability of visitor parking. If the visitor parking situation is complicated it can have a dramatic impact on customer visits. If their customers are finding it too difficult to park, they may take their business elsewhere.
