Battling Isolation When Working from Home

2007-11-21T02:54:00.000-05:00

As the trend toward telecommuting and working from home accelerates, those stuck at home during the day in front of their PC's can often struggle with feelings of isolation. An affordably priced office facility like that offered by Sewickley Office Suites may be a reasonable middle ground between having to relocate to work within the office of the employer and being stuck at home with your DSL line.

For those of you who have a need for a conference room in which to meet at short notice and for only a day or so at a time, we can accommodate you. With their proximity to Pittsburgh International Aiport and their easy access to the business district of Sewickley, our conference rooms are an ideal location for depositions, board meetings and other uses. They are equipped with whiteboards. Internet access and audio-visual equipment are available for rental.

In the coming weeks, we will be posting additional pictures of our conference room spaces.

Report: More Downtown Offices Empty Last Year

2007-11-21T02:14:00.000-05:00

According to a Pittsburgh Post Gazette article published on January 17, 2007, the vacancy rate for office space in Pittsburgh increased in 2006 to 20% compared to 17.7% at the end of 2005.

The vacancy rate for Pittsburgh office space is comparable to Detroit but is far short of metropolitan areas like Philadelphia, Boston and Miami. (Perhaps the fact that Pittsburgh was once again voted "Most Livable City" in 2007 will have an impact on these figures.) The article claims that one reason for the declining occupancy in the downtown area is the increasing tendency of businesses to relocate outside of the city.

Interestingly, the article indicates that the Parkway West corridor has the greatest vacancy rate of all the Pittsburgh suburbs. This is surprising considering the fact that the West offers the easiest access to Pittsburgh International Airport as well as one of the best rush hour routes to downtown via Route 65.

Make Us Your Main Office....or Your Low-Cost "Satellite" Location...or the Perfect Companion to Your Home Office

2007-11-15T20:03:00.000-05:00

We are planning to offer creative options to suit varied office space needs.

Traditional Office
You may wish to use us as your principal office. We have sufficient space to accomodate small to medium sized businesses, including extensive cubicle space for support staff.

Co-working Facility
If you have a small business, or no business at all, and have no need for exterior signage or publicity, we can offer special rates for use of cubicle space. In this way, you may use the space as a typical "co-working" facility.

Business Presence (Economical Satellite Office)
We can also offer extensive, fully-equipped conference room space to businesses that need a satellite office in the area but have no need for on-site staffing. With this option, you would receive exterior signage for your business, as well as access to the conference rooms, audio-video equipment and internet access.

Business Presence (Work from Home)
Another scenario which would match up very well with what we have to offer is the small business which operates principally from home. The idea of working from home can be very compelling; however, what happens when it comes time for a business meeting? You may be reluctant to hold business meetings at home for obvious reasons. For a modest monthly fee, we can offer exterior signage for your business as well as conference room access; we do not require that you also lease an office. In this way, your business can have a professional "location" for an extremely economical rate while still maintaining the obvious advantages of working from home.

Suggested Monthly Rates (subject to negotiation and customized lease terms):

Traditional Office:

Windowed Office -- $800 - $1000 per office
Windowless Office -- $450 per office

Co-working Facility: $150

Business Presence: $300

Do We Offer a Co-Working Facility?

2007-10-17T01:00:00.000-04:00

Recently I was surfing Google and landed upon a very interesting website that is related to the office leasing market. I'm sure the creators of site would love it if I gave them a link, so here goes: ThinkTank Pittsburgh.

It is intriguing because the creators of Thinktank are basically doing what we are doing with our smaller offices and our cubicle areas, except they have developed a really hip way of marketing it. I like it, and I think I am going to start copying it somewhat.

The truth is that we do offer pretty much everything Thinktank offers, and more. Due to the sheer size of our space, we are able to be more things to more types of businesses. (Although one our larger areas become locked into leases, we may need to start emphasizing the Thanktank-like concept.)

We can and do offer the following:

secure work area
elevator access
wireless internet access
partitioned desks (and full-blown furnished, private offices with locking doors if necessary)
copier
super high-speed toshiba scanner
two conference rooms with access to a DLP projector for presentations
kitchen with fresh coffee every morning

Thinktank is trying to position their space as the ideal place for "writers, programmers, consultants and entrepeneurs of all kinds". We believe that Sewickley Office Suites can serve a similar crowd. After all, we are located in Sewickley where you will find a healthy sampling of folks of these stripes and more. What is really cool about Sewickley, particularly for programmers and entrepeneurs, is the fact that we are surrounded by venture capitalists here in town. I will be posting more about that in the weeks to come.

Thinktank also appears to have dispensed with the term "lease" and is instead calling the monthly obligation a "fee". We are certainly willing to operate on the same principle. We can offer month to month arrangements, and if you are only going to need a cubicle, we can eliminate the need for a security deposit.

We can also go one better than Thinktank by offering to our "members" the ability to literally "hang a shingle". When you lease from us, be it month to month or longer, we can place signage on both the interior and exterior of our building. We are also planning to offer folks a very economical "business presence" package that will allow you to pay a monthly fee for signage and access to our conference rooms, in the event that you do not actually need a space to work on a daily basis. You could use us as your "second office" for quick expansion; or you could work out of your home and use us for those times when you need to meet with a client or two.

The concept of a co-working environment received an interesting write-up in Business Week back in February. I truly think that Sewickley Office Suites comports with the concept.

A Drop in Pittsburgh's Notorious Parking Tax Failed to Yield Expected Parking Rate Reductions

2007-10-16T22:15:00.000-04:00

Pittsburgh is notorious for having the highest percentage rate parking tax in the nation. Until very recently, it was as high as 50%. Thankfully, the City of Pittsburgh recently launched an initiative to reduce the parking tax rate gradually until it reaches 35% in 2009.

Currently, the rate is 45%. Unfortunately, the new reduced rate has not had an impact on parking rates within the city, according to a study by City Controller Tony Pokora.

By leasing through Sewickley Office Suites, our tenants have access to free parking located just a block away from the Car Barn Shops. Eliminating that miserable commute into the city is not the only benefit of having a Sewickley office!

Our Office Suites Are Nearly Ready for Full Occupancy

2007-10-12T21:06:00.000-04:00

Tremendous progress has been made on the construction here at the Sewickley Office Suites located within the Car Barn Shops.

To recap our previous posts, approximately two months ago, we committed to leasing a total of 8,400 SF of space within the Car Barn Shops Building in Sewickley. The space is being leased by my brother and myself, and we intentionally leased far more space than we can use for own businesses. (I have a law practice focusing on consumer issues, while my brother has an commercial insurance brokerage).

Out of the total of 8,400 SF leased by us, approximately 6,000 SF is currently available for sub-leasing.

The primary space located in Suite 270 had previously been occupied by an eye doctor. As a result, we were forced to completely gut the space and reconstruct it in order to make it suitable for occupancy by professionals.

Currently, nearly ever office located within Suite 270 is ready for immediate occupancy. They are furnished and ready to go. The conference room located within Suite 270 is also nearly ready, as is the kitchen.

Please feel free to stop by any time during business hours and check out the space.

About Our Location -- The Car Barn Shops, 409 Broad Street, Sewickley, Pennsylvania 15143

2007-09-23T14:33:00.000-04:00

The Car Barn Shops are located in the heart of the shopping district of Sewickley. The building postal address is 409 Broad Street, Sewickley, Pennsylvania 15143. The building derives its unique name from its former owner and occupant -- Gormley Chevrolet. An extensive renovation was performed in the early 1990's. This renovation was intended to preserve the open, "warehouse" like feel of the building. The building's investors originally envisioned the primary occupants to be retail shops; consequently, unique, interior windows adorn many of the offices. This is also likely the reason for the present name of the building. The Car Barn Shop's primary tenants include Merrill Lynch, Indigo Branded Environments, The Law Office of Stephen M. Otto, Sewickley Office Suites, Dubraski & Associates, and Treehouse Software.
