Key Factors to Consider when Choosing an Office Space for Rent in West Des Moines, IA

The quality of an office property can be judged based on subjective factors such as the prospective tenant’s preferred architecture style, the overall design of the surrounding area, as well as the amount and/or diversity of amenities available within a convenient distance.

Some quality factors, however, are considered to be mostly objective, and have been somewhat standardized as top things to consider when looking for a specific quality of space for your business. These include construction grade and building quality ratings, sustainability certifications, the total age or the property, as well as any renovation work that was done.

A local breakdown by property class shows that about 44.61% of total office space listings in West Des Moines are in properties rated class A. Class B space makes up 54.7% of total space available in West Des Moines. Class C space listed for rent locally accounts for 0.69% of total opportunities on the local leasing market.

If considering quality space by property age, the West Des Moines market is also a mixed bag in this respect. About 58.23% of local office properties were completed before the year 2000. Office space delivered in and since the year 2000 makes up 41.77% of the local market and adds up to a total of 1,358,676 square feet.

However, a certain age of completion of the original structure does not necessarily mean that a property is too old. Older properties are often considered to have excellent bones and are good subjects for adaptive reuse redevelopment or extensive renovation to modernize the interior space. With that in mind, you should consider that roughly 3.33% of all office properties here are buildings that have been renovated at least once since 2000.
