Your costs for leasing office space are rarely limited to just the monthly rent cost. Ask our agents in advance what expenses are and are not included as part of your rental agreement. What utilities will you have to pay for? Will you have to pay for trash pickup, cleaning services, or any other common area fees? If something isn’t included, ask how much the monthly cost has been in the past and what services will be provided for you.
Let’s say you currently employ 10 people, so you can estimate you will need approximately 2,500 square feet of office space. Your monthly rental rate will be calculated by multiplying your rentable square footage by the annual rental rental rate, and then dividing the result by 12.
For example, if you have 2,500 square feet of rentable space and the annual rental rate is $25.00 per square foot, you would calculate 2,500 x $25.00 = $62,500 / 12 = $5,208.33 per month.
According to Greater Portland Inc, the average commercial Class A office space in Greater Portland currently rents for $25.46 per square foot. Our partner rates may vary. Please contact us at Portland Office Spaces for a personalized office rental quote. Our experts are standing by to assist you.
Most leases have annual percentage rent increases built in. These should be spelled out clearly in the lease agreement. Most Portland Office Spaces partners use the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a gauge. Your annual adjustment will likely vary between a minimum of 3% to a maximum of 5%. To keep your annual rent increases under control, ask to have your lease written with an option to renew at a predetermined rate.

Depending on where you’re looking to rent office space, you can expect to sign a 3 to 5-year lease, or more. If you choose a space based on your current number of employees, you could easily outgrow the space before the lease is up.
Ask our Portland Office Spaces representatives about our Relocation Advantage, which grants you the possibility of relocating to another one of our managed properties, should you outgrow your current lease.
