Your Office Isn’t Dead, It’s Just Over-Leased

In today’s hybrid work environment, many companies are still leasing office space like it’s 2017, signing long-term contracts for space that often sits unused. But forward-thinking organizations are starting to shift. They’re becoming more strategic and intentional about how they lease space.

Smart leasing strategies include:

• Flexible Office Leasing: Choosing shorter, more adaptable terms or leasing only part of a traditional floor plan. This gives companies the ability to adjust their footprint based on team size, occupancy, or market shifts.

• Subleasing: Renting out unused space to other businesses, turning underutilized real estate into a new revenue stream.

These approaches aren’t just short-term fixes. They’re long-term strategies for lowering overhead and staying agile.

Paying for Space You’re Not Using Is So Pre-Pandemic. It’s Time to Think About Flexible Leasing

The traditional office lease is long-term, rigid, and expensive. It doesn’t match how we work today. With hybrid schedules and shifting headcounts, most companies are holding onto more space than they actually need.

Leasing too much office space means paying for square footage that sits empty. Even worse, it ties up capital and limits your ability to adapt as your team grows, shifts, or becomes more distributed.

Flexible office leasing changes the game. Instead of committing to years of fixed square footage, it offers options like shorter lease terms, shared spaces, modular layouts, and the ability to scale your footprint up or down.

This isn’t just about saving money. It’s about making sure your real estate strategy supports your business, so your space grows with you instead of holding you back.

With a flexible leasing approach, you can:

• Pay only for the space you need

• Adjust to team size, location, and in-office cadence

• Sublease underused areas to help offset lease costs

• Stay agile without sacrificing professionalism or culture

Sublease Smarter, Not Harder

Subleasing isn’t a backup plan. It’s a smart, proactive strategy for getting more value out of your office space. More and more companies are using data from Dojo right from the start of their lease to guide subleasing decisions.

With the right insights, you can:

• Identify how much space you can confidently part with

• Share usage heatmaps and smart layouts to attract the right subtenants

• Align subleasing timelines with your own space needs and hybrid team patterns

• Maintain a collaborative, productive environment with a smaller footprint

  
  

Rather than letting unused space sit idle, subleasing helps turn it into a flexible asset that supports your bottom line. Your empty space could be someone’s perfect fit.
