Commercial office construction comes in many forms, each catering to different business needs and preferences. As experts in the field, Reliant Partners helps businesses navigate the variety of office space options available. Here’s a breakdown of the main types of office buildings you’ll encounter.

1. Speculative (Spec) Office Buildings

Spec office buildings are constructed without a specific tenant in mind. These flexible spaces can range from small offices to large office parks and are designed to be leased to multiple businesses. Spec buildings offer businesses the opportunity to customize spaces without the long-term commitment of a build-to-suit.

2. Build-to-Suit Office Buildings

These buildings are designed specifically for a single tenant. Whether owned or leased from a developer, build-to-suit offices are tailored to meet a company’s unique needs. Businesses seeking a customized space often prefer this option, and Reliant Partners can guide you through every step of the process.

3. High-Rise Office Buildings

Found in larger cities like Indianapolis, high-rise office buildings cater to corporate offices and offer premium amenities. These multi-story structures house multiple tenants, providing high visibility and impressive features ideal for businesses looking to make a statement.

4. Mid-Rise Office Buildings

Mid-rise buildings range from 4 to 10 stories and are common in urban and suburban areas. They strike a balance between accessibility and amenities, offering businesses flexible office space without the higher costs of high-rise towers.

5. Low-Rise Office Buildings

Low-rise offices, typically one to three stories, are often found in suburban and rural areas. These buildings are cost-effective, with easy access and ample parking, making them ideal for small to mid-sized businesses.

6. Medical Office Buildings (MOBs)

Specialized for healthcare providers, medical office buildings house medical practices and outpatient facilities. These spaces are designed with medical infrastructure in mind and are often located near hospitals or clinics, offering easy access for both patients and healthcare professionals.

7. Flex Office Buildings

Flex office spaces combine traditional office environments with warehouse, showroom, or light manufacturing capabilities. These versatile buildings are perfect for startups, tech companies, and research firms needing both office and operational space.

8. Co-Working Spaces & Shared Offices

Co-working spaces are becoming more popular, offering flexible, short-term office solutions for freelancers, remote workers, and small businesses. These shared spaces come with essential amenities, allowing businesses to operate without long-term commitments.

9. Historic Renovation & Adaptive Reuse Offices

Older buildings are repurposed into modern office spaces while retaining their historical charm. Adaptive reuse is a sustainable option that preserves the integrity of historical structures while making them functional for today’s businesses.

10. Government & Institutional Office Buildings

These buildings serve public-sector needs and are designed for state agencies, municipalities, and federal government offices. They prioritize security, functionality, and accessibility, ensuring that public institutions have the space they need to operate effectively.

Navigating Zoning and Regulatory Considerations

Every type of office construction comes with specific zoning, permitting, and regulatory requirements. Reliant Partners can assist in ensuring your project complies with local codes and regulations, saving you time and effort in the process.

Conclusion

There are a variety of commercial office buildings suited for different business needs, from flexible co-working spaces to custom-built offices.
