Spacespot simplifies the leasing of office space, which can be a complicated process for small businesses that lack real estate expertise. Tenants are directed to the space that best meets their specific requirements and then guided through the lease negotiation process. Landlords benefit from enhanced targeting of highly qualified prospective tenants, and an efficient and secure means of negotiating leases with smaller companies. 

“Spacespot allows small-space users to find the right office space in a seamless and integrated process. Without any specific real estate expertise you are able to navigate the market and sign your next office lease – all online. At the same time, landlords can more easily and efficiently secure the right tenants for their often-hard-to-fill smaller space units,” says Piotr Kolacz, Head of Spacespot for CBRE.

Today the availability of multiple lease options for small businesses, including shorter lease terms and numerous flexible space solutions, can mean that securing the right new office space is difficult and time consuming. Spacespot provides a comparison between flex-space operators and conventional lease agreements with landlords, and enables tenants to choose their right mix of space. The intuitive and standardized Spacespot lease negotiation functionality makes it easier for anyone lacking significant real estate expertise to complete a lease. 

“We are proud to provide the small business market in Oslo with Spacespot, a web-based self-performing platform that is tailormade for their office leasing needs”, Colin Waddell, Managing Director, CBRE Norway. “This is just another example of CBRE’s focus on digitally enabling our clients and professionals and highlights our commitment towards continued investment in enabling technologies.” 

The Spacespot platform operates as a marketplace, with intuitive filtering functionality and a lease generation component. By uploading spaces to the platform, landlords can facilitate all communication, schedule viewings, share floorplans, negotiate and manage leases. Flex-space operators can upload their available desks and private offices, enabling tenants to compare and chose the right type of space agreement for their business.
