San Diego Office Rental FAQs

Below is a list of the most common office rental questions we receive from our San Diego area customers. If you have an office rental or leasing question that isn’t answered here, please contact us and we’ll get an answer to you as soon as possible.

What is the Office Leasing Process?

Our leasing partners will guide you through our property inventory to help you identify your ideal San Diego office space. An appointment will be arranged for you to personally tour the available spaces. You can email us directly or call us at (646) 906-8854 to set up an appointment. Upon making your selection, our San Diego-area leasing representatives will assist you in preparing an offer and answer any questions you may have along the way. Tenant improvements will be assessed with your representative and the corresponding departments. A written response is provided quickly and the final paperwork will be prepared.

What’s included in my office rental agreement?

Your costs for leasing or renting office space are rarely limited to just the monthly rent cost. Ask our agents in advance what expenses are and are not included as part of your rental agreement. What utilities will you have to pay for? Will you have to pay for trash pickup, cleaning services, or any other common area fees? If something isn’t included, ask how much the monthly cost has been in the past and what services will be provided for you.

How do I calculate my monthly office rent?

Let’s say you currently estimate you will need approximately 5,000 square feet of office space. Your monthly rental rate will be calculated by multiplying your rentable square footage by the annual rental rate and dividing the result by 12.

For example, if you have 5,000 square feet of rentable space and the average rental rate is $35.00 per square foot, you would calculate 5,000 x $35.00 = $175,000 / 12 = $14,583.33 per month.

According to our partners, the average commercial Class A office space in Greater San Diego currently rents for $34.79 per square foot. Partner rates may vary. Please contact us at San Diego Office Rentals for a personalized office rental quote. Our commercial office leasing experts are standing by to assist you.

How much will my rent increase YOY?

Most leases have annual percentage rent increases built-in. These should be spelled out clearly in the lease agreement. Most San Diego Office Rentals partners use the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a gauge. Your annual adjustment will likely vary between a minimum of 3% to a maximum of 5%. To keep your annual rent increases under control, ask to have your lease written with an option to renew at a predetermined rate.

How do I set up a property tour?

Fill out our Office Rental Estimate form with the space requirements that best meet your needs. In the comments box at the bottom of the form, specify that you want to tour the available spaces. One of our leasing agents will be in touch with you to help select and facilitate a tour. You can also call us at (646) 906-8854 or fill out our general contact form if you are unsure and would like to review a broader scope of options.

How do you get your office listings?

We get our office space listings from multiple sources including San Diego County-area property managers and management companies, building owners, real estate firms, user-generated information, and publicly available sources. We provide access to a database of dozens of commercial properties for lease in the San Diego area going back more than a decade.

Are you planning for the future?

Depending on where you’re looking to rent office space, you can expect to sign a 3 to 5-year lease, or more. If you choose a space based on your current number of employees, you could easily outgrow the space before the lease is up.

Ask our San Diego Office Rental representatives about our Relocation Advantage, which grants you the possibility of relocating to another one of our partner properties, should you outgrow your current lease.
