How To Find The Right Office Space in The Treasure Valley

With a little extra time and effort, you can be assured of finding a great office location from The Sundance Company in the Treasure Valley that will serve your business well for years to come. With numerous office space locations in Boise or Meridian, Idaho, consider these tips to help you find the perfect spot.

Consider What You Need: You would think this would go without saying, but it is amazing how many business owners leap into an office contract after being mesmerized by the fancy foyer or the many amenities. Write down exactly what you need and take that list with you when you tour available spaces. If you have 10 employees, don’t rent space for 100. Unless you have concrete plans to expand to a larger or different operation in the future, rent only for your current needs. And don’t let yourself be talked into something you really don’t need. Nothing good can come of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole when it comes to office space.

Make a Budget: Don’t over-extend yourself with a huge rental payment when you are considering the office space that is right for your business. Office space for rent can make or break your budget. Find an adequate space that is affordable and that fits well within your budget. You don’t want to over-extend yourself, and you can always upgrade later. And don’t forget to read the fine print. What costs and utilities are you expected to cover? Are there any hidden fees in the contract?

Plan for the Future: While you don’t want to agree to an office space rental agreement based upon hazy future plans, you do want to be prepared for changes you might need to make later on down the road as your business grows and expenses. Does your rental agreement allow you to remodel the office space or expand into empty, adjacent space? What if you need to terminate the agreement or want to upgrade to a larger office? Can that be done under your agreement or would hefty fees be involved to re-negotiate the lease? Work out those details now as you plan for the future of your business, and save headaches later for a great experience as you search for office space for rent.

Use these tips to find the right property for your business in the Treasure Valley. Then rest secure in the knowledge that you have made a smart business decision that will serve you well for years to come.

You Can Do it All at Meridian Idaho’s Silverstone Business Park

Meridian, Idaho’s Mayor Tammy de Weerd recently wrote about The Sundance Company in her City of Meridian blog, http://www.meridiancity.org/blogs.aspx?id=4195&blogid=701. Or you can just read below …

Over the last year, many have anxiously watched the southeast corner skyline of Eagle and Overland Roads transform as one of Meridian’s newest buildings, the Silverstone Corporate Plaza, takes shape. This incredibly elegant building gives us another reason to celebrate all that we have going on in Meridian and in our business parks.

Not so long ago, commercial business parks were developed as dry, bland rows of boxy warehouse-style buildings connected by meandering dead-end streets and parking lots. No personality; no style. Today, Meridian’s business parks don’t just break that old stereotype… they shatter it!

Within the 170-acre Silverstone Business Park, large employers such as Power Engineers, Citi, Intermountain Orthopedics, AmeriBen/IEC Group, Bodybuilding.com, Idaho Athletic Club, Sage Diagnostics and Imaging, T-Mobile, Neurological Associates, and Academy Mortgage to name a few, share the grounds with a variety of retail, dining, service, and lodging providers. Whether you are looking for sushi from Sakana Japanese Sushi and Steak Hours or would like to try a “staycation” at the Candlewood Suites Hotel, you can do it all in Silverstone.

Silverstone’s developer, The Sundance Company, has created a balanced, multi-functional business environment, and has found ways to include many of the “nice-ities” that make going to work or doing business a more pleasant experience. From attractive landscaping to cutting-edge amenities such as the concierge services available to tenants of the new Corporate Plaza, the development’s thoughtful design and aesthetically-pleasing appearance are sure to go far in continuing to attract economically-vibrant tenants to this business park and our community.

Silverstone Plaza News from The Sundance Company

Galerie Belle Ame Silverstone Plaza, a fine-art gallery, opened Dec. 2 in Silverstone Plaza, a new building in the Silverstone development in the southeast quadrant of Eagle and Overland roads, Meridian.
“We anticipate a successful partnership with Silverstone, which will bring exposure to our artists, grow art appreciation in the community, and provide companies within Silverstone Plaza an exciting place to do business,” Melissa Brodt, Galerie Belle Ame CEO, said in a release.
“This alliance represents a new business model that is designed to benefit the tenants and visitors to Silverstone Plaza while providing a unique platform for artists to showcase their talent,” said Chris Anderson of Silverstone developer The Sundance Company. “A dynamic art culture and a progressive business community go hand-in-hand. Hopefully our forward thinking philosophy will promote a winning strategy.”

Home Federal Bank recently held grand opening activities at its 4,000-square-foot branch office in Meridian. The branch and drive-up banking facilities are at 3405 E. Overland Road, in the new Silverstone Plaza building.
“We did extensive market research to determine the best location for this new branch,” Len Williams, president and CEO of Nampa-based Home Federal, said in a release. “This area scored the highest in several components including convenience for customers. We are happy to have found a great location in the true center of the Treasure Valley.” Melissa Fulcher is branch manager and Angie Wecker is customer service manager. Home Federal said it aims to complete, in late January, a 12,000-square-foot space it purchased on Silverstone Plaza’s second floor. The space will house commercial banking and builder finance teams.

The Sundance Company’s Flagship Property

The Sundance Company recently completed constructions of the 124,000-square-foot Silverstone Corporate Plaza at 3421 E. Overland Road in Meridian, Idaho. The upscale office-condo building, in the Sundance-developed Silverstone Business Campus in the southeast quadrant of Overland and Eagle roads, will include sizable space for Home Federal Bank.

“By developing this project as an office condominium, we hope to provide our clients with the flexibility to either own or lease high-quality office space in a magnitude unprecedented in the Valley,” Sundance Chief Operating Officer Travis Anderson said in a release. “We believe this was a key factor in the selection of the Silverstone Corporate Plaza by Home Federal Bancorp for executive offices and a drive-through banking branch.”

Home Federal President and CEO Len Williams said in an interview that the bank plans to occupy about 12,000 square feet of office space. The bank will relocate some commercial loan officers, residential mortgage lenders and some executive offices to Silverstone Corporate Plaza.

“At this point our corporate headquarters remains in Nampa, but we will have some executive office space in the new Silverstone building,” he said. Home Federal will own its office space and the full-service bank branch.

The branch will be about 8,000 square feet, built on adjacent property and attached to Silverstone Corporate Plaza, Williams said. Drive-through banking facilities will be sited under the building.

The Sundance Company will move its corporate office to Silverstone Corporate Plaza, which “stands to become Sundance’s flagship property.” Sundance now is based in the Blackeagle Business Center, at Overland and Maple Grove roads in southwest Boise.

The Sundance Company, one of the largest commercial real estate developers in the Boise area, said the availability of on-site concierge services, shared-use conference, board and training rooms, and projected on-site executive suites “will provide the flexibility and efficiency expected from today’s sophisticated consumer.”

“The service infrastructure that will be incorporated into this project will not only be a benefit to the tenants of the Silverstone Corporate Plaza, it will also allow Sundance to continue to exceed the service needs of our entire client base,” Sundance President Chris Anderson said.

The interior finishes include mosaic glass and tile, artisan wall coverings, and domed ceilings. Other planned features are a slab granite façade, covered executive parking, a “generous parking ratio” an “ample tenant improvement allowance” and the availability of owner financing.

Office Space for Optimum Efficiency

Is your office space designed for optimum efficiency? Most of us spend the majority of our time cooped up in the office, which, more often that not is a small cubicle that doesn’t allow for privacy, space, creativity or inspiration. That’s why it’s important to personalize your workspace (or home away from home). Office space designs require a tremendous amount of thought and consideration. While there are many common approaches to designing office space, finding the right design that works for you and your employees could be the key to a successful business.

For instance, space plays a major role in efficiency. Think about the way a chef works in the kitchen. They have to be precise, quick and careful. In order to do this effectively, they have to have an organized mise en place, or space. A mise en place literally means “put in place” and refers to a chef’s station where they keep all of the items they need to prepare food. This triangular station allows them to stand in one spot, gather ingredients, pivot to one side and work at the stovetop.

The same concept can be applied to an office workstation. Here are some tips for office space design that can help you increase efficiency and quickness:

Open Office Space Designs
Many offices have converted to an open office space design to stimulate better communication among employees. There are, however, limits to what you can do to work spaces in an open office. The layout of office furniture becomes limited by the lack of office walls or cubicle partitions. When possible, choose to set up workstations in corner spaces so that each station has two walls. Then, use an L-shaped desk with a filing drawer to create a triangular space in which to work.

Private Office Space Designs
Some organizations find that by giving each employee a private office with a window, they increase morale and promote a sense of importance. In fact, the quality of this type of office design can have an impact on self-image, motivation and enthusiasm, creating an environment that raises productivity and efficiency. The downside to private offices is that they create a mentality that segregates employees as individuals. This lack of teamwork mindset can be solved with great design. By creating an “intersection” in the middle of the office where employees can meet, you can give your office a centralized feel that brings everyone together. This “intersection” can house things like fax and copy machines, message boards or work counters.

Designs with Floor to Ceiling Windows
Office designs with floor to ceiling windows provide a great amount of natural light and a tremendous view, but they can also pose some challenges for workspace layout. In this layout, desks are usually positioned on one wall, with a filing cabinet on the opposite wall. When possible, you should use utilize the wall space on the same wall as your door, or use an L-shaped desk to create a smaller workspace triangle.

Quite possibly the most crucial aspect of office space design is working with the right designer. Hire a good designer with whom you can freely share your opinions. Being able to point out the things you like and dislike will help the process more along more effectively. Plus, it allows both parties to be upfront with each other at all times, creating an environment where coordination and planning efforts are at their peak.

If your company is looking for office space that can provide your business with optimum efficiency, then contact The Sundance Company today. With more than 1.5 million square feet of office and industrial space available in prime Boise and Meridian locations, The Sundance Company has the experience to help you with your commercial real estate needs in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the greater Treasure Valley.
