  1. Parking – Plenty of it at your office building, and easy to find  parking when visiting clients.

  1. Hotels – Usually not a hassle getting business hotel reservations, especially compared to those crazy dotcom days when every hotel seemed to always be full.

  2. New Construction – Back when they were building all those new office buildings it felt like everywhere you went was a pesky construction zone.

  3. Lower Rents – Rents are down, not up.

  4. Friendly Landlords – The Landlord smiles, the Property Manager returns calls, and they even seem to like Tenants now.

  5. Restaurants – Usually no problem booking business lunches at the last minute.  Boy, what a relief from just a few years ago!

  6. Commute – Thank God for vacant office space, my commuting has been cut in half compared to four years ago.

  7. Expansion – Plenty of space in the building for firms to grow, but we are considering offshoring as part of the new business process …
