If you are purchasing
commercial real estate with a remodel in mind, there are likely two reasons to do so – either your business needs a newer, remodeled office space or you want to purchase a property to lease to other companies and turn a profit.
Regardless of the reasons you want to purchase property,
updating and remodeling the building can provide serious boosts in rental interest and business productivity.
Businesses that are looking to lease a building are always attracted to newer, updated spaces rather than old, outdated buildings. Remodeling a commercial space ensures that your office buildings are always full – and your loans are being paid. If you’re buying the property in order to improve the location of your own business, remodeling and renovations can improve workflow, boost morale and cut costs to put money back in your pocket. (

Solid Returns on Your Investment by Leasing Commercial Space
Any time you make an investment, the return you receive is important. If you buy a building with the intent to remodel and turn it into a valuable commercial space, what type of renovations increase the value? You don’t want to waste money on upgrades that renters don’t value. Common upgrades that are noticeable and valuable in a commercial building include:
- Updated bathrooms
- Updated heating and air conditioning units
- Custom cabinetry
- New windows, doors, carpet, flooring and walls
- Upgraded office furnishings and desks
When a company is looking for an office space to lease, these are all important factors that weigh in on the final decision, along with the cost of leasing the space each month. If you come into the negotiation with updated property, you are already winning half of the negotiation battle.
