North Forest office space: Helping Western New York businesses grow in place

March 21, 2011 - Brokerage
North Forest Office Space, a leading provider of affordable, upscale professional office space, has historically aimed to help satisfy the office needs of small-to-medium sized businesses. The approach continues to pay off. Fueled by its focus on addressing the needs of the professional business owner, North Forest Office Space has seen its office park portfolio grow from its Western New York base to Rochester and on to Denver, Colorado. The company has active projects in each market which allows customers multiple space choices and fast occupancy of new or existing space. Among its current projects in the Buffalo and Rochester markets are an expansion of its Southwestern Office Park, 4535 Southwestern Blvd. in Hamburg, a new building in its Basin Meadows Professional Park, located on Sully's Trail in the Town of Pittsford, and expansion projects at its office parks in Greece and Webster, just outside of Rochester. Known for their recognizable peaked roofs, the company has developed buildings to accommodate office locations from as small as 130 s/f of executive space up to an entire 18,000 s/f building, depending on a tenant's needs. The company's tenant roster is full of professional business owners, entrepreneurs, branch offices, medical and dental practices, and their office facilities are designed to be easily modified to meet tenants' changing demands. "Working with tenants to help their business grow in place has always been at the heart of our business model," said Dave Merrell, North Forest's chief operating officer. To help more businesses address their office space needs, the company announced that it has recently revamped its website - www.nforest.com. Featuring information on the company's complete portfolio of office park locations in the Buffalo, Rochester and Denver markets, the website offers visitors virtual tours, available floor plans and transparent pricing and lease information. It was redesigned specifically with the demands of the business owner in mind. "Our website is very much a resource for our potential customers," said Merrell. "We understand the time constraints that business owners have to deal with. With our new site, decision makers can review their options, view and select a specific location and understand their exact lease pricing. This helps maximize their time and ensures a smooth transition into the North Forest community." "It's not uncommon for a customer to visit our website, get all the information they need, call us and ask for our easy to read lease and, if the space is built out, be in their new office in a matter of days." As a full-service office space provider, the North Forest team helps clients analyze their space needs, develops flexible leases and manages the maintenance of each of their properties.
