Bring Kickstart to Your Property and Never Worry about Occupancy & Building Management Again
Your building says something about you. Owners who take it seriously want it kept in top condition and filled with tenants they’re happy to have there. That’s the standard we build to. We opened our first Kickstart location in 2016, and today we run spaces across Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad that are home to established companies and their teams.
Why Demand Has Shifted 8520/Flexible Space
The way companies take office space has changed. They’re moving away from big fit-out costs and long, rigid leases, and want space they can grow or shrink as their team changes. A good working environment counts too; it’s now part of how companies hold on to their people. For a landlord, that shift works in your favour, because the tenants worth having are the ones moving toward this kind of space.
Kickstart Understands the Nuances
It is the job of Kickstart to optimize all aspects of office buildings for users as well as landlords.
Leasing and building pristine office spaces, and running them efficiently everyday 365 days a year requires a specialist. It requires a team that has a viable business model, and has mature operations and sales functions which are adept at building and running offices efficiently and keeping healthy client pipelines.
Only then this model can solve for the flexibility, hassle-free experience and turn the profit as well.
1- Tried and Tested Financial Model
Our financial model is tried and tested and it yields returns according to our projections. We’ve proven it at every location we run.
2- Efficient Space Planning & Customer-centric Layouts
Building out a coworking space with an efficient, optimised layout requires knowledge of the workflow of communities that will come and join as tenants. With multiple iterations, we have figured out what is the best layout for any particular location. For anybody else, it will take years to figure out the perfect mix.
3- Daily Operations
Building out a coworking space is a one-time job. Running it efficiently is a daily job which we do 365-days a year. Mature ops and sales functions are imperative to run it smoothly everyday.
Global Trends and Opportunity for Pakistani Building Owners
JLL predicts that around 30% of the entire office space would be coworking and flexible spaces by 2030. Flexible workspace is now one of the fastest-growing segments of commercial real estate worldwide, with Asia-Pacific among the regions leading that growth.
With more and more companies opting for Hybrid Office, the demand for conventional office space leases is on a decline. But that also presents a unique opportunity for landlords & building owners to work with Kickstart.
Landlords and Kickstart Can Work Together
You can work with us in one of two ways. In a management partnership, we run the space and keep it occupied, and you take a share of how the building performs; filling it and running it well is on us. Or you can lease the building to us outright, on a long lease at a fixed rent. In that case your income doesn’t ride on occupancy at all; it rests on Kickstart being a stable operator that’s committed to the space for years. Either way you get a building that’s well run and full of companies you’re glad to have in it.
1- A Culture and Environment You’d Be Proud Of
A Kickstart space is looked after. It’s well designed and properly kept, the kind of place people are happy to spend their day in, with a community of established companies working alongside each other. For an owner, that matters more than it looks. When good companies choose your building and are happy to be seen there, it lifts the standing of the building, and of you as its owner.
2- Long-Term Asset Protection
A building is a long-term asset, and how it’s run decides how well it holds its value. One that keeps changing tenants, sits empty between leases, and only gets attention when something breaks will wear down and lose standing over time. Kickstart keeps it full and properly maintained, so it holds its value over the long run.
3- No Maintenance Hassle
Kickstart keeps a deep involvement in operations, with dedicated operations and maintenance staff managing and maintaining each property. With that sort of structure, building’s upkeep is ensured for the longer run. Ask any landlord who has let their building to Kickstart and they will tell you that now their building is in a much better shape and well maintained.
4- Consistent Occupancy & Diversification of Tenants
Our model rests on diversification of tenants and keeping a solid sales pipeline to ensure the vacant spaces are quickly filled. Partnering with Kickstart also gives landlords the opportunity to keep the building occupied for the longer run. By entering into a partnership, landlords can take advantage of Kickstart’s ability to onboard the clients. In a management partnership that counts for even more, because the space is filled with established, creditworthy companies, so the income it produces is steadier.
5- A Stronger Return on Your Building
In a management partnership you don’t just collect rent; you take a share of how the building performs, which can push your income above what a conventional lease would pay. On a fixed lease you get a dependable rent from Kickstart and hand the management headache to us.
