Before you begin your search for lab space for rent in Princeton, NJ there are a few questions that need to be answered to help narrow down your needs.
How much lab space do you need?
This is the most important question. You need to account for any private offices, cubicles, lounge space and lab area to get a good understanding of how big or small the space you are looking for should be. It’s also important to factor in how many people will be at work at the lab on a regular basis.
Do you prefer an empty lab space or one that comes with some furniture and equipment?
Some properties are available completely empty and ready for a tenant to come in and create the ultimate customized space for their unique needs. Others provide some furniture as well as lab equipment. It’s up to you to decide what your company needs and how that factors into your budget.
How long would you like to rent/lease the lab space?
Most spaces rent out for a minimum of five years. Do you need your lab space for more or less than that amount of time? All of this will factor into the lease agreement and can affect the price of the lab space for rent.
Do you have any additional needs or special requirements for your lab space?
It’s important to communicate if you have any restrictions or special needs for your lab space. This will help eliminate certain locations and narrow down the search.
