Top Locations to Rent Office Space in Columbia, SC

There is no one-size-fits-all answer as to what the best office space for rent location is in Columbia. The best neighborhood or submarket match for you will depend on what are the most relevant factors to your business and your employees.

However, a good starting point for finding your best options is to look at the areas where there is a high concentration of office property listings. These areas are typically well-connected to a range of access routes and are also home to a variety of amenities that serve the convenience of both workers and visitors.

Key Factors to Consider when Choosing an Office Space for Rent in Columbia, SC

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 36.97% of total office space listings in Columbia are in properties rated class A. Class B space makes up 56.28% of total space available in Columbia. Class C space listed for rent locally accounts for 6.42% of total opportunities on the local leasing market.

If considering quality space by property age, the Columbia market is also a mixed bag in this respect. About 76.69% of local office properties were completed before the year 2000. Office space delivered in and since the year 2000 makes up 22.98% of the local market and adds up to a total of 92,739 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 7.56% of all office properties here are buildings that have been renovated at least once since 2000.
