THE FLIGHT TO EFFICIENCY
Micro suites are surging in Phoenix. Many tenants who once leased 5,000 S.F. + are rightsizing to smaller footprints. Tenants want less overhead, more flexibility, and zero wasted space.
THE HYBRID WORK REALITY
Companies need a physical presence, and many want to upgrade and rebrand to Class A for image. Micro-suites help tenants maintain culture and an upgraded brand without exceeding their budget.
THE REDESIGN OF FLOOR PLATES
Floor plates catering to micro-suites require specific design criteria. There are more entries and exits, fire code regulations, and each suite requires a favorable window line. Many newer buildings have a deeper depth from the entry to the exterior, and cannot accommodate micro-suite users.
LOCATION, IMAGE, AND EFFICIENCY, NOT EXCESS
Phoenix is a micro-suite market. For tenants, it's a sweet spot. For landlords, it's the fastest path to stabilized occupancy.
