Almost any business can do without an office – and the mobile phone of the Director without an office will not help. This is clear as twice two. But on the other hand, any sensible owner of the company tries not to invest in the office maximum funds, preferring the Golden Sunday between price and comfort.
The Moscow commercial real estate market a couple of years ago beat a record for a record. The cost grew already because the main tools of business – offices were trite not enough for everyone. At that time, many tried to transfer the apartment to a non -residential fund – despite the paperwork, it was much easier than renting a small room under the office.
Further, with the beginning of a difficult financial situation, the market froze, trying to predict the development of the situation. And now, by the beginning of 2010. The position of the office premises cleared up. Now the market is focused on the tenant, offering a lot of options from empty offices.
Not only unusual heat and the usual holiday season was the cause of some stagnation. Even compared with the data of two years ago, there are more offices – according to experts, about 4 times, up to 15.8% (May 2010) of the total office fund.

Another trouble of the rental market is a large fluidity in the most popular, small offices with an area of up to 100 square meters. m. Even before the crisis, they were rented for a year (on average), and now the usual life life of the company in one office is 6-8 months.
Experts claim that this is due to large risks compared to the previous period. Now business either goes uphill, or ends quite deplorable. Therefore, on the one hand, there can be no stable profits at such premises, and on the other, the demand for them is extremely high.
The area of 100-300 square meters is more interesting in this regard. m – here the most wanting to rent premises. And most often these are large, quite stable and reliable companies. However, the most serious of them prefer to purchase rooms in 1.5-3 thousand. sq. m.
Diamond Hall and Domnikov were again commissioned. Some business centers have long been offered in Shell&Core is the “Ocean Plaza” and “Danilovsky Fort”. And there are no absolutely empty complexes in the secondary real estate market at all.
At the same time, rental rates are slowly growing, but it is worth talking about frivolous, insignificant numbers for analysts 3-5% since the beginning of the year.
