My question is do you want to have all the offices built out when the building is erected, or are you going to lease the spaces and have the tenants do there own interior build-outs?

 

Welp, the world is a better place with one less attorney!!!

(j/k)
Good luck and props for having the cajones to make a change...

 

well your the proffessoinal on this what do you think

 

Good luck, there is allot to be said for quality of life! Sometimes you have to take chances even if they are somewhat un-nerving. Hang in there and I'm sure you'll have great success!

 

Honestly, a 3-story 18,000 sf building is a waste of money. That only gives you a 6,000 sf footprint. Once you go below a 15,000 sf footprint your money becomes less efficient. You see, whether you have a small or large footprint, you need a core. This core will consist of the elevators, stairs and lobbies required by code for all office spaces. In a smaller footprint building, the core will eat up a lot of rental-able space. Your dollar will go a lot further if you put down a 3 story, 15,000 sf building. Here's how it goes. Shell building which is basically the core, as discussed above, and the corridors and perimeter finished walls; about $75.00 a SF. If you want to fully build-out the office spaces, including the ceilings; about $150.00 a SF. On top of that you need to add $10-$12.00 a SF to the price for the area of land to be developed to include your site work, landscaping, and required parking.

 

this is true.... I just need to get the money to buy the land pay for the building and find a Property Manager to find business' to lease out. Other than that We are well on our way. now that I completely hijacked Jasons thread lol. Jason what do you think since your fronting the money.

 

uhhh ...... he said erected....

 

uhh ha ha...yeah Beavis

 

good luck

 

Congratulations on your career change, Jason!

Of course you realize that this move will deprive us of many, many "lawyer jokes" now and in the future. We may seek legal action for this loss...

 

when doing office..unless you have a tenant lined up...yo ubuild the shell and have them do the interior. Building to their suiy makes the tenant stay longer anyways.

 

I'm gonna maintain my bar license so I will technically still be an attorney...just not an active practicing one! So...lawyer joked may continue...

 

That is correct.

 

I say we all meet for dinner.. so we can talk serioiusly.

 

You and I can talk tomorrow night, Jason is just the $, we'll tell him how much to write the check for.
