[...] $250 off the first month’s rent with a new 12-month lease. While most serviced offices try to communicate value, I haven’t seen such an aggressive promotion for serviced office space in a while. That makes [...]

Citizens Business Center is doing what many other serviced office space providers are doing: targeting California. Not surprisingly, office rents are down in Southern California and vacancy rates are up.

Office buildings that once housed mortgage lenders and other housing-related businesses stand 20% empty, according to brokerage Cushman & Wakefield. It will be interesting to see if the serviced office space providers can weather the storm there — or take advantage of it.

Citizens Business Center has found a sweet spot for executive office suites in California. It looks like this company is expanding strategically with office rentals first in hot spots like Roseville and Sacramento and then moving into new territory as Michelle describes it. It’s great that companies like Citizens Business Center take the risk to open service offices suites so entrepreneurs can less their risk as they expand their own businesses.

Our fourth location is opening mid-January 2009 in Roseville, CA. It will be posted to our website shortly! We expect to continue growing throughout 2009, adding locations throughout Northern California.

I like the concept of graduating from a virtual office to an executive office suite. Citizens Business Center offers that option, as do most other serviced office providers. It allows you to capture the consumer at the stage they are at, so hopefully they will grow into your more advanced services. I wonder if there’s been any study on how many virtual office users do graduate to the next level.

Citizens Business Center seems to offer a good set up on the serviced office scene. With offices rentals in Roseville, Rocklin, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento, they also have a good spread in the greater Sacramento area. What Michelle didn’t say was whether or not the company is planning to expand with new executive office suite locations in 2009. I’d be interested to know…

Websites play such an important role in marketing today, even in the real estate industry. Or, I should say, especially in the real estate industry.

Citizens Business Center has produced an effective ‘brochure’ website for the 21st century, making it as easy as possible for potential office renters to get a glimpse of their serviced office spaces. Michelle mentions four locations. I only saw three listed on the site, though. The ones that were listed offer great photos and maps.
