Suggested Tenant Amenities

[Haim Assaraf]

Hi guys,

I manage a multi-family building in Baltimore, Md. There's a 500 sqft commercial space with a bathroom in the front of the building that doesn't really payoff to rent out due to the costs associated with it. What kind of tenant amenities can i implement there to attract a better crowd of renters?

Thank you in advance

Quote from @Haim Assaraf:

Have you asked your tenants? It's hard to give an answer without knowing your tenants, how many of them there are, what amenities are in the area, and more.

If you had 10+ tiny apartments, a game room or fitness area may be attractive. College students may appreciate a quiet study area or a place to visit with guests while their roommate studies in the apartment.

Maybe there's a need for a coffee shop or other small business that needs very little room but also provides a service your tenants would be interested in? Maybe one of your tenants would like to start a business?

What kind of area is this located in? Who are the tenants. 

Tough to say without knowing the demographic. If its college students/young professionals @Nathan Gesner gave some solid idea.

If there are a lot of tenants with young kids, maybe a safe play area

All depends who lives there
