Office fit-out and TI allowances in the US
Fitting out a raw space costs real money, but landlords usually help through a tenant-improvement (TI) allowance — a budget, quoted per square foot, that offsets the work.
What to expect
A light refresh runs lower per square foot; a full build-out with rooms, meeting spaces and finishes costs considerably more. Negotiate the TI allowance alongside free rent, and clarify who owns and maintains the improvements. If you want to avoid capital outlay entirely, a serviced or managed office delivers a finished, furnished space for a single monthly fee — no fit-out project at all.
