Typically 1–20 people
Move in fast with furniture, internet, and shared amenities included. Terms are usually month-to-month up to about a year.

Sublease
Teams that want a full floor or suite

Direct office lease
Growing teams planning ahead
Your own space leased directly from the landlord, usually on a multi-year term, with room to negotiate build-out and concessions.
