In our three charts below, we compare the features, start-up costs, and monthly costs of conventional office space and executive suites. The conventional space in our example includes 750 square feet - the minimum needed to provide a 150 square foot private office, a small conference room, a reception area, and a kitchenette (as well as account for the common area factor included in most conventional space leases).

The comparable Front Range Business Centers office suite in our example is a 150 square foot window office with a balcony; the conference rooms, reception area, kitchen and common areas are shared and available at your convenience.
