It would be great to hear from someone at Kildaire to clear up the discount question. I’m also interested to know how many suites are in this serviced office facility. There are 10 vacancies, but how many total office spaces for rent? That would give us a better idea of the occupancy rate there. Cary is a great location for office space. I just wonder how this area is being affected by the economy. I’m guessing not as much since it’s so close to RTP.

I like the ala carte package. What if I don’t use long distance at my office? The ability to rent an office space without paying for what I don’t use is attractive to me. I mean, I can see your points in your posts, but in a small town like Cary the economy may be different and the demand for office space may be different. I reckon this company is responding to what the local market wants.

I know other serviced office providers have the add-on style pricing model, but I have never liked it. I want an all-in-one package where I don’t have to worry about long distance charges. Most phone companies today offer a flat fee for long distance, for example, and it’s fairly cheap. So the idea of paying 8 cents a minute for long distance these days doesn’t jibe with me.

There are pros and cons to the ala carte pricing model for serviced office space. At some level, it can be valuable because you aren’t paying for what you don’t want. But at the same time, things like phone lines and high-speed Internet are fairly obvious staples of doing business and should be bundled in the monthly office rental fees. Maybe they could have packages that had different levels of executive office suite rentals in terms of sizes and amenities.
