Cooling CRE, Rising Vacancies—Phoenix Is No Exception
Recent data shows the U.S. office sector continues to grapple with overbuilding and diminished demand—more space is being demolished or converted than constructed for the first time in decades. Vacancy rates remain persistently high, hovering near 19% nationwide. Could office furniture be the solution?
The ripple effect? Commercial real estate stakeholders—from landlords to brokers—face a dual challenge:
- Filling Class B and C offices
- Competing with amenity-rich, high-end Class A buildings
In Phoenix, local CRE professionals are adopting a powerful response: Office Furniture Subscriptions.
Why Office Furniture Subscriptions Solve CRE Pain Points
1. Dramatic Improvement in Leasing Velocity
Vacant space becomes more attractive with furniture included. Brokers using furniture-as-a-service report leasing Class B spaces up to 75% faster than empty listings. Custom, fully furnished offices bring tangible value to prospects.
2. Aligning with Shrinking Supply of New Space
With new office construction hitting historic lows and more existing buildings being repurposed, quality equipped space is increasingly scarce. Furniture subscriptions help Class B spaces step into the ring alongside renovated or co-working alternatives.
3. Financially Smart for Landlords & Tenants
Furniture-as-a-service shifts costly capital expenses into affordable, predictable monthly payments. Landlords can market upgraded properties with no out-of-pocket investment; tenants save funds for marketing, hiring, or operations.
4. Complete, Turnkey Offerings
Learn-and-lock in trends and convenience: subscription plans with space planning, installations, quarterly maintenance, and end-of-lease removal streamlined for local users.
Why Phoenix CRE Should Pay Attention To Office Furniture Subscriptions
- Fast Turnaround: Projects delivered and installed in just 2–3 weeks—perfect for companies expanding or relocating swiftly.
- Local Footprint: Showrooms in Gilbert, Scottsdale, and Las Vegas (coming soon in San Diego) ensure visual access to offerings.
- Scalable: Equip a coworking space in Midtown or a satellite office in Tempe with minimal hassle.
- Landlord Appeal: Furniture inclusion makes lease upsells smoother and reduces vacancy periods—even in tough markets.
