Choosing an office space for your St. Louis startup
The spacious offices in the Globe Building work well for any business that needs a lot of room to operate. Businesses with bulky tools and products find the unusually wide doorways and hallways perfect for their operations. The space also allows for additional employees. Claunch recently doubled his square footage to 12,000 as he expects to grow from 29 to 60 employees. “I have every confidence I will use the remaining space on this floor,” he says. “There’s a lot of light, and I get to mold it the way I want it.”
Cost
The first, most obvious consideration when choosing a parking garage in Downtown St. Louis is the expense. Anybody that’s ever spent time parking in a major metropolitan area knows that prices range considerably from garage to garage, so finding a location that is going to work well with the parking budget you’ve got set for yourself is a good place to start.
Location
Of course, from there the next step is finding an affordable parking garage that is within reasonable walking distance from your office. It happens sometimes that the more affordable garages are too far away from the workplace to be feasible as an everyday option for parking. Nobody wants to add unnecessary minutes to their commute, especially if too big a chunk of that commute is just walking to and from parking garages in Downtown St. Louis every day.
Security
Like everything else with city parking garages, security varies greatly from facility to facility. Some places station workers at security screens to keep their eyes on things, and others have no human employees on-site at all. If you find yourself interested in a parking facility but aren’t sure how the security works there, feel free to do some research to discover if you will be safe parking there and leaving items in your vehicle while you’re at work.
Above-Ground
Well-designed underground parking isn’t as common as the above-ground variety, but many businesses are going in that direction because it saves valuable real estate. Aboveground parking provides more natural lighting, but underground parking creates easy access to the buildings overhead. In terms of convenience and protection from the elements, underground parking is proving more versatile.
Access
Not only is it important that your garage be accessible during the hours that you need it to be accessible, but it also should be reasonably easy to get in and out of when parking in the morning and leaving at the end of the day. Not everybody needs a 24-hour garage, but if you’re someone who stays late, make sure you’ll have access to your vehicle during the times you need it.
Climate Control
The nice thing about any parking garage is that it keeps your vehicle out of the harsh sun or cold, while also protecting it from all sorts of precipitation. Some garages like the one at The Globe Building take it a step further by offering climate-controlled environments to ensure your vehicle is perfectly comfortable to drive no matter what the weather may be like outside.
The Globe Building offers convenient parking in downtown St. Louis, so if you are looking for a perfect parking garage with reasonable monthly rates, it’s hard to beat what we’re offering in our own underground parking facility.
