The Amenity You Didn’t Know You Needed - NYC Outdoor Space

When businesses start looking for a new office space they typically look for the usual things such as number of offices, conference rooms, or lighting. But one amenity that most businesses overlook is outdoor space. Outdoor spaces can have many benefits, and often are a bonus for employees as they head back into the office. 

Whether it be in a co-working space or a private space, New York City has options when it comes to outdoor space, surprisingly! The only downside is that offices with outdoor space tend to be swept off the market very quickly.

Here are the most common questions businesses ask when considering an office with outdoor space: 

• What’s the square footage?

• Is there green space?

• Is it shared with other building tenants?

• Is the space mostly shaded or does it get a lot of sunlight?

• What kind of flooring does the space have?

• Is outdoor furniture included?

• Are there views?

What are the benefits of an outdoor space?

• Overall happiness

• Stress reduction

• Memory improvement

• A way to breakup the workday

Some businesses also look at outdoor space as a perk for employee gatherings such as team building or holiday parties.

The Takeaway: 

The key point we want to get across here is that there IS outdoor space in New York City, but it is limited. When you view a space with an outdoor patio or roof, you are looking at a gold mine, so consider jumping on it quickly.
