A place where you can get a little work done.
Business centers are office spaces open to an apartment’s tenants that include the use of at least some desktop computers and usually access to printers, scanners and photocopiers. Some business centers are also equipped with mini-kitchens and complimentary coffee, tea and snacks.
As new apartment developments continue to add more amenities to their complexes, many are offering business centers in them to create added conveniences for their tenants.
Benefits of having a business center in your complex
Business centers are especially useful for residents who require a quiet place to work at home and not enough time or money in a budget to create an adequate home office space, or even for printing jobs that aren’t common enough to justify owning their own printer.
Business centers are also great spaces to meet with a group of people. If your apartment complex doesn’t offer a separate event space, it may be willing to schedule blocks of time for use as a meeting space.
Pros of a business center
- Free access to computers and the internet
- Reduces the need for buying and maintaining expensive equipment
- Saves space in small apartments
Cons of a business center
- Maintenance of center can drive up rent prices
- May not guarantee a wide range of equipment and features
- Equipment might be poorly maintained or unreliable
Do you need an apartment with a business center?
If your apartment space likely won’t have enough room for a home office but you need space to get work done, business centers can provide the perfect space for you to focus or take calls. Business centers are especially useful if they can be reserved ahead of time.
