How much SF do you guys have? I'm looking at a space with 3000 sf.
Planned Open Space Desks: ~32 Offices: 2 with 4-6 people each I can't comment on utilization because we haven't opened yet. We can break even if we get both offices occupied, as well as ~30 full time members. We are paying $39 a sf. I'm very torn between dedicated and shared desks, so I haven't really decided what to do in that regard. (pricing / quantity / culture) I'm concerned about desk size. I'm going for large tables, that 4 people share. So it would be 39 in x 73 in for one table. Do you think that would be enough for two people to face each other (3 ft 3 in) ? And side by side (6ft 1 in)? Does the # of desks sound reasonable given the sf?
