Smart Design in a Small Footprint—Spec Suites Working Harder /Smarter
With the growing number of small speculative tenancies in our CBDs, what key attributes help attract tenants in an increasingly competitive market?
In a new world of work—shaped by flexibility, a heightened focus on employee engagement, and the drive for market differentiation—tenants increasingly seek spaces with character and personality. There’s a growing opportunity to create ready-to-occupy workplaces that optimise value, enhance the user experience, and support long-term flexibility in how space serves business needs. Just because it’s speculative doesn’t mean it isn’t smart!
Over the past 12 months, Studio P3 has delivered 11 speculative suites, all of which received strong market engagement and were leased immediately upon completion.
Modest in size, each suite has outperformed in expectations, demonstrating how an intelligent, layered approach to planning can extract maximum potential from every square metre – yielding high tenant impact and returns relevant to their scale.
The environments respectively embrace the challenge of working a floor plan hard—finding opportunities within opportunities, optimising flexibility and elevating the tenant experience— without compromise.
The result is work spaces that feels generous, agile, and considered. Providing a diversity of amenity, from the seamless integration of functional zones to the subtle moments of delight in materiality and detailing, every element curated with purpose.
The design of each suite balances an understated tenant appeal with a commercially sensible mindset, ensuring the suite not only looks and feels great but also performs as a smart investment for the asset and the tenant.
Small done smart: quality, flexibility, and experience—all working harder together.
