If this company’s web site is any indication, these serviced office facilities are outdated. Even looking at the pictures of the executive office suites, this is definitely not a modern, high-class environment. I wouldn’t choose to do business there for that price. It looks like the furniture section at Office Depot. Sorry, don’t mean to be so brutal. But that’s a high price to pay for what they seem to offer. Maybe there’s some catch we’re not catching.

I don’t see anything particularly compelling about this serviced office outfit. I just looked in the abetteroffice.com executive office suites directory and the photos of the competing serviced offices blew me away — at least the outside. I can’t see why anyone would rent office space at BusinessWorks when they could be located in any one of three other really nice looking, modern buildings.

This could be a supply and demand issue. If these really are the highest class of the bunch in terms of office space in Marietta, then that may justify the cost. I don’t think this is the only serviced office option, though. It would be interesting to see what the competitors charge. It does seem a bit pricey based on the location, services and photos I saw.

I live in a suburb of a big city and there’s office spaces for rent — furnished, mind you, for as little as $300. Maybe they are not as big. Maybe they are not as pretty. But in this economy I can’t see why anyone would pay so much for office space that’s not in a prime location. Marietta may be close to Atlanta, but it’s not Atlanta. I wonder what their competitors are charging.

Hmm. Yeah, I’ve seen executive office suites going for $450 in some cities. I am not sure in this case you ‘get what you pay for.’ I know you can definitely shell out that kind of money for serviced office space in cities like Atlanta but this little suburb… I’m not sure how they can charge those rates, either.
