Searching for Office Space
After a wonderful year in the Atlanta Tech Village, it is time for us to find a larger space in which to grow. In Q1, we are searching for a new home for our team. Having a great office is important for company culture.
Here are the things we are looking for:
- Buckhead or Perimeter
- 1500 to 2500 sq feet
- One main open seating area (no private offices and no cubicles)
- A few small meeting rooms or phone booth rooms
- A breakroom
- A hobby shop area – we are engineers with side projects and it would be nice to have a common space to work on those collaboratively
- Close to a MARTA station
- Great lease terms and price
Here is a sketch we did of an ideal layout:
Some of the best offices are sub-leases from landlords that had not contemplated offering a sub-lease in the past. If you know of any tenants with great spaces that might make a good sub-lease, let me know!
What priorities would you optimize for in an office layout?
