The modern commercial real estate market involves a lot of solutions for renting an office: from minimalist premises in business centers to spacious halls of private residences. Let's see which of the options is optimal. Business center The obvious advantage of renting an office in a business center (BC) is the focus on creating comfortable working conditions. It assumes a developed infrastructure: cafes, ATMs, shops, salons, which will satisfy the needs of workers in the area of ​​permanent employment.  Building layout, communications, parking, security, communication services - business centers meet the criteria to ensure the most comfortable conditions for employees, as well as provide the opportunity to expand office space as the business expands and, accordingly, the staff. Specialists in the field of real estate ranking BC depending on the location, the quality of communications and repairs, as well as the level of prestige. The ideal option for business is class A and B + class business centers, which meet high standards of construction and are located within the Moscow TTC. Rental rates for which have decreased significantly compared with previous years. In large business centers, the tenant chooses a suitable area, floor, layout and other characteristics, being within the financial limit. Unconditional plus is a developed transport system, proximity to metro stations and land transport stops. Mansion The mansion is an isolated and private version of the organization of the working space. Moreover, we are talking here about both historic buildings of the Tsarist era (on Arbat, Tsvetnoy Boulevard, Khamovniki or Basmanny district), and about modern buildings in classical and modernist styles. Despite the difference in architectural solutions, common standards remain. Mansions are buildings with a small number of floors, adjacent territory, with an average area of ​​1000-2500 sq. m.. It is worth noting that each such building is architecturally unique and of historical value.  An important advantage is the possibility of placing the company logo on the facade of the building. By itself, full ownership of a separate building is an element of prestige. However,   in matters of functionality, mansions (especially with historical baggage) are inferior to BC. Layout in buildings of this type is far from the effective use of free space - entrance halls, stairs, attic and basements are difficult to adapt to the needs of the office. The tenant is also deprived of the opportunity to increase the working space while expanding the business. This option is most suitable for banks, foreign embassies, financial organizations and other enterprises that work daily with a large flow of people, because in this case the pass-through system in business centers will not be effective.  What is the result? BC is a practical and flexible option that meets the needs of the company and provides opportunities for expansion. In addition, utility payments, garbage and snow removal, cleaning of internal and external premises are divided among numerous tenants, which reduces the costs of maintaining a building by a single company. While the maintenance of the mansion rests entirely on the shoulders of a single tenant. The mansion is inferior in functionality, but at the same time personifies the prestige and stability of the company located in it.

At the moment, there are at least 2000 office facilities, 300 shopping centers, 1600 warehouses in Moscow, and the total capitalization exceeds $ 100 billion. According to Andrei Lukashev, the market is moving towards the uberization of the process of selecting commercial space, when the work of a large number of brokers is optimized by modern IT solutions. Already, this approach is relevant in relation to small areas: on specialized sites, you can choose an office option in a few minutes, arrange a viewing and make a deal. For brokers, uberization means the ability to increase the number of customers, for owners - an increase in demand and views. In general, the process should be considered as a new powerful market driver.
