If you’ve been shopping for office space, it may all start to look the same after awhile. Oh clearly, there are those dark, dingy 1970s and 1980s complexes that haven’t had a dime spent on them in 30 years or more that you wouldn’t waste any time on. But once you eliminate those, there are still a number of complexes where the office space all seems pretty much the same from one to the next.
So how do you decide? Obviously, price and location are important. But again, typically you get what you pay for – closer-in locations and special areas (such as downtown Palo Alto) cost more, and farther-out locations cost less.
But there are other considerations that can make a big difference in productivity and efficiency for you and your people: Amenities.
Impressing Clients and Enhancing your Work Environment
For example, for some of the smallest start-ups, the space might consist of a handful of cubicles. If a client comes to see you, what do you do – pull up a chair next to your desk? Not very impressive.
Even if your company has a couple of private offices to go with open office space, if you’re trying to make a presentation to a key client or hold a meeting involving 10 to 12 people, you’re out of luck.
Fremont Business Park has a really nice-sized common conference room, equipped with meeting tools such as a multimedia projector and Internet access, where you can really get down to business – even if a dozen people are involved. And it can be reserved at no additional charge by any business at Fremont Business Park.
Also, many studies have shown that people are more productive when they work out daily than if they lead a sedentary lifestyle. But it can be hard to drag yourself out of bed at 5:00 a.m. to go to a fitness center before work, or take up evening family time. That’s why Christy Street’s on-site gym is perfect – tenants and their employees can squeeze a workout in at lunch or, in fact, anytime to enhance productivity.
Easy Commutes and Ready Access to Dining and Services
What else, you say? Well, Fremont Business Park is two minutes from I-880 at Auto Mall Parkway in southern Fremont for fast and easy commutes and trips to call on clients. In addition, Pacific Commons shopping center is a one-minute drive (or an inviting five-minute walk!) with plenty of breakfast, lunch or dinner dining options as well as shopping and needed services.
What’s more, there’s an AC Transit stop right in front of the complex that provides quick, direct bus service to and from the Fremont BART station for employees that choose that commute option. And no need to stand around waiting for the bus to arrive. Just click this real-time bus tracker from your laptop, smart phone or PDA to learn when AC Transit Bus 212 should arrive.
In short: at Fremont Business Park, you get great office space that has been transformed by a $2.5 million renovation and affordable lease rates – plus amenities that deliver enormous value to you and your employees, regardless of the size of your company.
Christy Street has been more than 95% leased for most of the summer. But now a few spaces are opening up. To learn more, e-mail Lee Jatta, or call (408) 520-2437. DRE License #01828564

For the individual office suites, there are new doors and new signage. A quick stop in the restroom reveals new granite countertops, tiled floors, new fixtures, and paint.
There’s a nicely appointed conference room that any of the businesses located here can reserve using the online calendar. And right over there is a fully equipped fitness facility – with men’s and women’s dressing areas and showers – perfect for getting in that energy-boosting workout at lunchtime or any time that fits your schedule!
If you’ve been looking for office space from as small as a few hundred square feet to several thousand square feet or more for your business, a smile is likely crossing your face right now. This isn’t like all those other buildings you’ve toured with narrow, dark hallways, peeling paint, and 1980s-style décor. You can actually imagine locating your business here.
In addition, the location just off Auto Mall Parkway near I-880 couldn’t be better – offering easy freeway access for short commutes and quick trips to call on customers, as well as all the shopping, dining, and services of Pacific Commons Shopping Center less than two blocks away.

Good things are happening in 
The well-equipped facility has cardio equipment and free weights, as well as men’s and women’s showers and changing rooms. Without the lost time driving to and from an offsite fitness center, employees can get in a good workout and get back to their desks on their lunch hour – or between appointments or conference calls. Even if they exercise during the workday, most employees are willing to come in earlier, stay later, or are just so much more efficient that they more than make up for the time.
