Alexandria, VA — Why Do Commercial Staging Companies Help Offices Lease Faster?

Because we are headquartered in the DC area, we understand what a large impact the commercial real estate industry has on our local economy. Our area lends itself to large office parks, niche commercial spaces, and individual offices. If you own or manage a commercial building, the last thing you want is for your spaces to be vacant for long periods of time.

Our company offers professional staging services for homes and offices, and we are proud to have created a great reputation among our residential and commercial clients over the years.

While many people might assume staging is more of a residential service, in recent years we have seen an increase in commercial clients due to how tight the office leasing market is. If you are looking to give your space an edge, read on to learn about how we can help make your space lease faster.

Stand Out

While many companies have decided to use our services and other staging providers to prepare their spaces for leasing, staging for offices is still a growing market. If you chose to stage your space, it would instantly stand out among other listings. This is impactful both online, where your listing will lead to more tours, and in-person, where people will remember your property because it looks great and is properly staged.

Make Spaces Feel Larger

In an office setting, a prospective tenant is likely doing mental calculations each time they view a space for lease. They’re trying to determine if the space has enough room for all their employees, is welcoming for visitors, and will meet their unique needs. When an office is professionally staged, it can help the prospective tenant see a potential layout which maximizes the available space. A staged space helps guide the eye vertically rather than horizontally, and can feel much better than a vacant office with the same square footage.

Display Functionality

In addition to feeling bigger, a professionally staged office can show a potential tenant how functional the space is. By setting up desk areas, executive offices, conference rooms, and reception areas, we can help guide a prospect through the space slowly and envision themselves and their teams working there on a daily basis. By staging a space for functionality, you remove a lot of the guess-work from the potential tenant and allow them to see the best features of the space.

Higher Rents, Faster Leasing

Because staging generates more interest in an online listing and often exceeds a person’s expectations in-person, our office clients often have the ability to ask for higher rents, and get them, when they use our services. We also have data which backs up faster leasing and lower vacancy for staged spaces, and we would be happy to share testimonials and real insights from comparable properties to yours.
