When developing office space, one of the best strategies is to pre-sell your space and have investors and tenants lining up to move in as soon as the final inspections are complete. Of course, this can be hard to do when your marketing materials are images of empty and possibly unfinished spaces. If you want to entice valuable business tenants, the key to pre-selling office space is to show them what the property could be after they move in.

Your architectural drawing may be detailed, but the best way to impress and inform future tenants or buyers is with an interactive rendering using 360 degree virtual touring and floor plan technology. Businesses want to know that they will have a beautiful space that fits their capacity, workflow, and on-brand ambiance. They want to know if there’s good light, how many workstations will comfortably fit in the space, and if their clients will be impressed when visiting. That’s tough to show off with images of empty rooms, but a 360 render gives business tenants a chance to explore the space as if it were already furnished.

This article will explore the benefits of a 3D 360 degree virtual tour rendering and floor plans to pre-sell office space.

Realistic Visualization of the Property

Rendered Still Image

The first and most important benefit of a 360 rendering is the ability to visualize your finished commercial property before it’s complete and before tenants schedule a live tour. The building design becomes the guidelines for how the rendering is created. The floor plan, the materials, and the features that will soon be complete will all be rendered exactly as they will appear live.

The 360 nature of the virtual tour makes it possible for your future tenants or buyers to virtually walk through the space, getting a feel for how large it is, the flow of the floor plan, and even the locations of outlets and fixtures.

Here’s a great example of exactly the experience we can create for your property.

Calls Attention to the Property’s Benefits

A virtual rendering will draw attention to every detail designed to benefit and uplift your office tenants. An appealing break room, a sunny window bank, or an aesthetically pleasing lobby design will shine through in the virtual rendering, giving potential clients a chance to appreciate the space before it is available for tours.
