Co-letting

Sharing a reception and meeting rooms in a co-let office

Splitting a floor does not have to look like a compromise. How co-letting tenants share front-of-house space without losing their brand.

Sharing a reception and meeting rooms in a co-let office

The biggest worry tenants raise about co-letting is not the money, it is the impression. Will clients think less of us for sharing? Handled well, a shared front-of-house can look more polished than either business could afford alone.

Where sharing works best

  • Reception, a single, well-staffed desk greets everyone and directs visitors to the right team.
  • Meeting rooms, booked through a shared calendar so nobody double-books the boardroom.
  • Kitchen and breakout, the amenities that make a workplace pleasant, at half the cost.
  • Utilities and internet, one reliable connection is cheaper and easier to manage than two.

Keeping your identity

Shared does not mean anonymous. Give each business its own signage, its own zone and its own branded meeting room when clients visit. The trick is to share the expensive, occasional spaces and keep the daily, identity-defining ones your own. Browse co-letting offices on Qubicle to see which layouts already separate work zones from shared front-of-house.
