What makes it different: mostly interior TI in leased space; finish level and density drive cost; landlord relationship matters.

  • Key items: demising/partitions, ceilings, lighting, HVAC zoning for occupancy density, data/AV, conference/huddle build-outs, ADA, finish-level choices; landlord work letter and TI allowance define who pays for what.
  • Smart questions: square footage, headcount/density, Class A vs B finish, existing condition (vanilla shell vs renovation), TI allowance amount, target move-in.
  • Directional: office TI $50–$150/SF (Class A toward the top); core & shell $240–$300/SF if ground-up.
