Office Space per Person 2015
Space per person is the smallest ever. Rent per person is on the increase.
Xymax Real Estate Institute is studying corporate tenants in office buildings to have a better understanding of how the office space is used.
This is the annual reporting of office space per person in a typical office building. The analysis focused on cost is also available with the survey of the rent per person (including CAM charge) started from last year.
For the result of the previous survey, see "Office Space per Person 2014" released on December 1, 2014.
