The Difference Between Grade A & Grade B Rent

Choosing a new office space can feel overwhelming with all the industry jargon and details to consider. Among the most frequent terms, you'll hear are ‘Grade A’ and ‘Grade B’ offices. But what sets these grades apart? Let's dive into their key differences.

Grade A Offices: The Epitome of Excellence

  • These are the crème de la crème of office spaces. Their demand is soaring, and rightly so, due to the top-tier features they offer.

  • Typically situated at the heart of urban landscapes, these offices are either a part of recent developments or have undergone significant renovations.

  • Most Grade A buildings are high-rises boasting spacious floor plans, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a staffed reception area.


Grade B Offices: Balance of Style and Affordability

  • While not as prestigious as Grade A, Grade B offices strike a balance between style and budget-friendliness. They are generally about 30% more affordable than their Grade A counterparts.

  • Often positioned a bit farther from city centers, these offices provide a respite from the constant city din and rush.

  • Many Grade B properties once held the Grade A status but were reclassified over time due to natural wear and tear, or perhaps from limited upkeep.
