Difference Between Ancillary Office & Pure Office Spaces

Unlike ancillary office spaces which are usually found in areas zone as B1 industrial, B2 industrial or business parks, office spaces are found in areas zone as office or commercial space. Pure office buildings tend to have better corporate image and better addresses as compared to ancillary office spaces within industrial areas. This is why office spaces tend to command higher rental rates as compared to industrial spaces.

Multinational Corporations or MNCs tend to look for pure office spaces in order to portray a good corporate image and uphold a certain level of company branding. This may also help to attract more talents within the workforce to join their company as the working environment is conducive while commuting to work is also easy via public transport.

On the other hand, Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) tend to not mind being in industrial areas as the rents are usually more attractive as compared to pure office spaces. Having an ancillary office space within an industrial space also means that the production area and office area can be housed within the exact same location making it easier for companies to operate more efficiently without employees having to travel to and from a different location if the office and production space are at separate locations.
