UNIQUE SITUATION: Looking to sign an office lease in Boston

UNIQUE SITUATION: Looking to sign an office lease in Boston

Boston, MA · Member since 2019 · 15 posts · 19 votes

Hi BP - I am living in Boston and working for a startup out of my home office. I am Canadian working on a visa and I am beginning the process to obtain a green card. The last piece needed before submitting for a green card is to obtain an office location in Boston, more specifically, sign an office lease in a commercial building. 

I am looking for someone who owns a commerical building in Boston that is willing to let me/company sign an office lease. Here's the kicker, I am never going to use the office space. I will be your ideal tenant by never going to the location or request access. I am simply looking to cross an item off a checklist in the most cost effective way possible.

If you are looking for a little extra cashflow from a non-occupying tenant, please reach out!

    Have you tried wework? You can get a lease there and that should satisfy that requirement.

    @Stormer Santana I just had some ask, could cape cod work or does it have to be Boston?

    @Kyle Curtin The cape could work. Anywhere in Greater Boston should be fine.

    @Stormer Santana Hi, I agree with Lien. Paying for office space just to have the lease would be a pretty substantial waste of $ so I would look into shared office spaces. My extended family owns a space in Quincy that has shared working environments if you want to check it out (I personally have no interest in the property), just wanted to share if its beneficial for you. I think its around $500-$750 per month depending if you want to have a private office.

    Hey @Michael Vazza and @Lien Vuong. Thanks for the feedback, however, I currently have an On-Demand option with WeWork through my company. WeWork was not offering to sign a lease for an ondemand desk and they are quoting 400-1k for an office space that would satisfy my requirement.


    I will take a look at Office Link! Thanks

    @Stormer Santana Happy to help. I'm not involved as its one of my Uncle's businesses so not sure if they have that lease option but doesn't hurt to check it out and see. They probably have much more relaxed options and more flexibility getting that done for you than a large corp. like WeWork.
