Develop the Building Criteria

Identifying and finding the ideal building is similar to the finding a lease property. First, you need to determine what type of building is required. You can put a regular office user in any commercially zoned office space. However, you can’t put a medical user in any office building. The space must be zoned medical, as the zoning requires more parking. Where is the optimal location? Does the building need to be on a bus line? What size do you need? Can you pay cash for a building, or do you need to take out a loan?
