There’s no question that Charlotte is growing rapidly. This rapid growth is excellent for real estate as well as entrepreneurs and small businesses. There is one downside that tends to occur alongside rapid growth in population and demand, and that is cost. This is especially true when it comes to office space rent. As businesses compete for prime locations, the cost of those locations understandably increase. Charlotte has consistently ranked among the top 10 cities that have had increases every year in the cost of office space rent.
How Much Has The Cost of Rent Increased?
The average rate of office space rent across the nation has increased by 2.7% which is the highest it’s been since 2008. San Francisco tops the list at 13.8% over the year. According to the commercial real estate services firm DTZ, office rent in Charlotte in the second quarter was up 5.7% which puts it on par with Houston for last year. While overall this is a positive number in regards to the general growth of the Queen City, it can be a bit frustrating for those who are looking for new or larger office space.
Is There an Alternative?
