Benefits of Ownership
More and more, accountants, mortgage brokers, doctors, and other medical and service-based professionals are making the move to purchasing office condos, fully customizable spaces that offer businesses a multitude of benefits. Here are some of the reasons why:
You can buy a specific amount of space or an entire building. When
you lease space you have to take what is available and it might be more
or less space than you really need.
If you choose space that’s not exactly what you were looking for
then you are forced to make compromises in your design.
Our contemporary building designs incorporate methods and materials
that require minimal building maintenance.
You’re paying your own mortgage – not your landlords. Over time
the equity builds up, as the property belongs to you and not
someone else.
With interest rates lingering in the low to moderate range, monthly
mortgage payments are, in many cases, lower than lease costs. Depending
on the type of financing you select, those mortgage payments can be locked
for the life of the loan.
Your space can be customized to suit your specific needs. Case
in point, the design requirements for a pediatrician’s office will differ
greatly from an attorney’s. That flexibility ensures a design that maximizes
functionality and supports the culture of the business.
Office condominiums may offer you tax advantages depending on your
corporate structure. There are instances, for example, where you can have
an entity that you own buy the unit and then lease it back to itself. You
should consult with your tax professional to determine what will work best
for your business and its operations.
You will gain increased ability to finance other aspects of your
business using your real estate as security.
When your business grows larger than your available space you can
of course sell your unit or you will be allowed to lease your unit out to
a third party.
Cost Structure
It’s also important to know that with your purchase Green Development Group can provide you with a build out allowance and full access to our design build capabilities. All of this is part of an effort to limit your out-of-pocket expense and provide turnkey space delivered on time and on budget.
