Classification of office buildings. Classification of business centers and shopping centers

Looking for an office in Moscow? First step- choose a business center. Each of them has a generally accepted classification - A, B, C, D. In this article we will help you figure out how toWhat conditions for work are offered by business centers of one class or another.

Class A business centers

Business centers with the highest rental cost are class "A". This class includes only buildings of new construction and, as a rule, in the city center (with rare exceptions).There are very few business centers located in historical buildings among this class.- in order to receive certification with this prestigious category, the building of the old building must be completelyreconstruct. In fact, rebuild.

The key factor in obtaining class "A" is the latest - "from the needle" - engineering communications (water, heat and power supply systems, external and internal lighting, climate control and ventilation, communication networks, etc.). Also, a Class A BC must have 2 independent power supplies or an additional uninterruptible power supply in case of a power outage. The management of all utility systems is centralized, some of the functions are automated using "smart" technologies. The building of business centers "A" class serves its own team of maintenance specialists: electricians, plumbers, repairmen.

Finishing in a class "A" business center can only be at the highest level - no compromises. Original architectural solutions, expensive finishing materials, cutting-edge interior design of common areas. A mandatory requirement is a high level of natural light (full-length windows). Also high ceilings. Class A business centers do not initially assume the format of ready-made offices - all premises are "sharpened" for a free layout, so usually the interior decoration of offices is carried out by order of tenants.

Certification for class "A" assumes the age of operation after construction is no more than 5 years - after that, the business center needs to be overhauled in order to keep up with the rapidly developing international standards. Therefore, many class "A" business centers eventually move to the next most senior category "B".

The internal infrastructure is very developed - cafes and restaurants, shops, banks and ffitness centers, beauty salons and much more. Class "A" is focused on international business, so another distinctive feature of these business centers are large conference rooms equipped with the latest technology.

There are never any problems with parking in an A-class business center. Underground parking is required here, which is dictated by the geography of the location - only the city center, where there are always problems with above-ground parking. The parking lot is designed for at least 1 parking space per 100 meters of office space.

Security - also class "A". All common areas are under video surveillance, the building and the surrounding area are under round-the-clock security, mandatory automated access control to the territory of the business center.

Only the largest international and Russian companies with a solid annual profit can afford to rent in business centers of this class. Examples of such business centers: fashionable Lotte Plaza, Krylatsky Hills, where such IT giants as Microsoft, Cisco and Intel sit, and, of course, skyscraper towers in Moscow City.

Class "B" business centers

Class "B" business centers can be located in new or reconstructed and converted old buildings and old Moscow mansions, with high quality engineering communications. As we said above, Class B business centers are former Class A offices after 5 years of operation. Therefore, the offices of category "B" in many characteristics are close to the premises of class "A". Often the differences are not significant. But due to the absence of the international class "A", which makes the business center elitism, business centers "B" are much more democratic in terms of rental rates.

Requirements for geography - walking distance from the metro and good transport accessibility, location close to the main Moscow highways. A mandatory attribute of class B business centers is convenient access and secure parking. An optional option is underground parking.

Design and renovation in class "B" business centers - modern, with quality materials. The facades of buildings often do not lag behind the “A” class in terms of aesthetics. Developed infrastructure - shops, household services (for example, printing), cafes and restaurant complexes. Some class B business centers have fitness centers.

In order to receive a B certification, a business center must also provide high security for tenants, so there are always modern video surveillance systems, 24-hour security, and limited access to the building.

Class "B" business center is the standard of comfort and standard of living for modern residents of the capital. Typical tenants in a business center of this class are medium and large businesses.

Class "C" business centers

This class of business centers includes, first of all, old Soviet-era buildings. Most often they are located in the industrial zones of sleeping areas - research institutes, office buildings, factories, etc. Hence the unpresentable facade of the building, the old repair in the common spaces. A typical picture - long gray corridors with dim lighting and a huge number of doors leading to small rooms. In the offices themselves, repairs are minimal - if the tenant wants to work in more comfortable conditions, he must do the finishing on his own and at his own expense.

Engineering systems in class "C" business centers are outdated. In addition to water and electricity, the minimum program is heating during the cold season (often very unstable), general ventilation, Internet access (not always, sometimes it has to be done by the tenant himself). More options - as lucky. The function of conditioning in the vast majority of cases is performed by the good old vents. If you need air conditioning, the tenant will have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

The infrastructure is limited or completely absent - you will not find cafes and shops here. Maximum - a dining room (most often - in one of the buildings inside a huge industrial zone). Security - watchman at the checkpoint.

As a rule, business centers of this class are located in residential areas of the city and are far from the metro - you can get to them on your own only by public transport. Parking for car owners - spontaneous, in nearby yards.

The realities of the business real estate market in Moscow are such that class C business centers are becoming the forced choice of small businesses. Because it is these business centers that offer lifting prices for small companies.

What is the root of this problem? The fact is that the owners of class business centers"A" and "B" as a rule, offices are rented only in large areas. They are interested in working with large tenants- 200, 300, 1000 square meters, and so on. Small businesses that need small offices up to 100 square meters just don't fit into their business model.

Class D business centers

These are premises in need of major repairs - converted basements and semi-basements transferred to the non-residential fund of the apartment. Without security, with dilapidated communications, without the Internet - spartan conditions for the most undemanding tenants. The most unpresentable variant of business centers is for micro-businesses with minimal funds for rent.

A little about the pros and cons

Pros and cons next to the business center class - "B+", "A-" is a designation of how close the business center is to the neighboring class. That is, "B +" is a business center that does not quite reach the "A" class.

Now small businesses can afford class B business centers

Delovoy decided to correct the injustice in the commercial real estate market and enable small businesses to work in decent conditions. We purchased a large space in three B+ class business centers in Moscow and divided it into small offices that small businesses need - from 13 to 60 square meters. Now prestigious business centers with comfortable offices are available even to small companies.

The cost of a workplace is from 13,490 to 15,990 rubles per month. The rental price already includes: high-speed unlimited internet, secretarial services, utilities, daily cleaning, security.

Choose one of the prestigious B+ class business centers for work:

Omega Plaza is an ultra-modern class business center for those who want to live in the rhythm of modern business. A building with a unique interior - exclusive fountains, a fireplace, a Swarovski chandelier, panoramic elevators and art expositions. Developed infrastructure: a fitness club with a swimming pool, cozy cafes and trendy restaurants, bank branches, consumer services, shops and beauty salons.

Our tenants at Omega Plaza every morning take the panoramic elevator to their floor and admire the crystal chandeliers with Swarovski crystals.

"Arma" is the trendy business district, which is famous for its high rental prices. But not in Business. On the territory of "Arma" there is a fitness center, restaurants and cafes, trendy clubs, a large guest parking. Art Play and Winzavod art quarters are located near Arma. One of the most affordable options in the Central Administrative District for small businesses.

Now even small businesses can work 3 minutes from the Garden Ring in the fashionable Arma business district.

Alekseevskaya Tower is a modern business center in the north of Moscow with a beautiful glass facade reminiscent of the architecture of skyscrapers. 18 overground office and 3 underground parking floors, intelligent high-speed elevators, modern engineering and communication systems, convenient infrastructure (shops, service departments, restaurant complex).

Alekseevskaya Tower is one of the best business centers in the north of Moscow.

Correct classification of objects is necessary for all participants of the civilized commercial real estate market. Banks, insurers, appraisers, realtors, owners, buyers and tenants are interested in it, in general, everyone who has ever encountered a commercial property in their professional activities or at home.

To date, there are no formal criteria for classifying commercial buildings and structures. However, stakeholders always have their own understanding of the value of an object, based on its main characteristics and the cost of similar objects on the market.

Of course, the cost of an object is influenced by a huge number of factors, but the main, understandable and least significant ones can be distinguished from them.

Below are the tables formed by us precisely according to the main criteria that ultimately affect the cost of commercial real estate.

We took into account that for the three main groups of commercial real estate - office, warehouse and retail, the composition of the main characteristics is different. Therefore, there are three tables. They cannot serve as reference books, but allow the clients of our commercial real estate agency site to get an initial idea of ​​the "classiness" of objects.

Classification of business centers and office buildings.

The success of an organization depends not only on the professionalism of managers and employees, but also on the correct, thoughtful location of the office. It is important not only the convenience of its location, but also the atmosphere inside, a presentable appearance. Here, the well-known proverb works as well as possible: "They meet by clothes ...".

What is the business center category

Offices are often located in business centers, it is worth learning more about their categories. Categories are determined by several criteria:

• location. This is very important, because how convenient it will be for partners and clients to get to your office depends on whether they want to contact the company at all. The same item includes ease of access - transport communications, parking;
• presentability of the building. Its facade, entrance, etc. Condition of the exterior and interior;
• area and design features;
• quality of floors, windows, elevators;
• engineering communications: ventilation, air conditioners, communications;
• facility security;
• infrastructure.

Classification of business centers

The cost of renting premises in a business center directly depends on its class, which is denoted by the letters A, B, C.

The most accessible, but far from the most prestigious, are class C business centers. Their premises should have:

1. Ventilation and heating system.
2. Elevator if the building has more than three floors.
3. Security systems and availability of access control.

These are the minimum requirements that such a business center must meet.

• flow-exhaust ventilation;
• the ability to adjust the microclimate;
• fire safety systems;
• video surveillance and round the clock security;
• location close to transport arteries.

In our country, there are additional quality levels for office space, they are indicated by + or -. Example: a business center of class B+ will be something in between A and B, or almost identical to A-. Such a division is somewhat arbitrary, because in the center there can be something better, and something worse.

As for class A business centers, they have everything that the previous ones have. But there are a couple more things added to it:

1. Visibility from major highways.
2. Availability of own power supply and emergency diesel generator.

Golden mean

Business center Shukhova 14 belongs to class B+, that is, renting offices in it, you will feel what comfort and convenience are. The infrastructure is developed at a high level, the location is in the center of Moscow. Despite this, the place is quiet, and transport accessibility is characterized as excellent.

The territory occupied by the business center is 1 ha. There are several buildings with different heights for your choice. There is an interior finish according to the class, there are all engineering communications. If you have a desire to show your partners and clients friendliness and openness - come to the business center Shukhova 14.

In international practice, several classifications of office real estate are used., however, the system developed by BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Accociation) is considered the most used. Business centers are classified according to categories "A", "B" and "C".

Class "A" office premises are the most prestigious and high-quality, class "C" characteristics, in turn, are far from modern requirements. Assignment to a particular class is subjective to a certain extent and is made taking into account compliance with certain characteristics:

1. Location.
2. Building type.
3. The novelty of the building.
4. Building maintenance systems, security system.
5. Solutions in the planning, decoration and construction of the building.
6. Engineering systems, air conditioning and ventilation systems.
7. Telecommunication systems.
8. Parking.
9. The building is equipped with elevators.
10. Infrastructure.

Russia has not yet approved a unified classification of office space. There are many variations of systems on the market, but they are all based on similar principles.

The most famous classifications are:

1. Classification of the chief analyst of the Russian Guild of Realtors G.M. Sternik.
2. Classification of the Moscow Research Forum, developed in 2003 and supplemented in 2006 and 2013.
3. Classification of the St. Petersburg Research Forum 2008

Many appraisal companies use a system similar to "ABC". In Russian realities, some companies add a special category "D", which is due to the fact that many buildings belong to the Soviet era, have not been reconstructed and do not even meet the requirements of category "C".

In accordance with the tightening of requirements at the Moscow Research Forum in 2006, the 2003 classification was changed. The new structure divides modern office buildings into three types: "A", "B+" and "B-". Buildings that do not meet the specified criteria are classified as "C" and below. In 2013, an important innovation was the “Certification” item, that is, the compliance of office centers with international energy efficiency standards: LEED and BREEAM.

The second classification system involves the division of class "A" into additional categories:"A1", "A2", "A3" and is more detailed. It is used in their practice by Noble Gibbons and Colliers International. The division into subclasses "A +", "A" and "A-" is similar.

Class "A"

Class A business centers, which are the best solution for office premises, are located in new complexes with a competent layout, a high level of construction and finishing, automated life support systems, equipped with security, communication and communication systems. Such offices are mainly built in the city center or in prestigious areas with a large number of transport interchanges.

Large companies act as tenants of premises in high-class business centers and branches of foreign companies. Class "A" fully meets all the criteria of a modern building, which include:

1. Availability of a central building management system.
2. Availability of a modern fire safety system.
3. Ceiling height not less than 2.7 m.
4. High-quality finishing materials for common areas and facades.
5. The waiting time for elevators is no more than 30 seconds.
6. The floor depth from the window to the “core” does not exceed 10 m.
7. The presence of an efficiently organized reception area, conference rooms, spacious dining and recreation areas.
8. Designer renovation.
9. Multi-level ground or underground parking with an entrance to the business center.

For class “A”, division into subclasses is practiced: “A1”, “A2”, “A3”, which do not have fundamental differences between themselves, and are used to define the building in more detail.

Subclass "A1"

This subclass is characterized by:

"A2"

It has less stringent requirements for the location of the building, and can also be a completely reconstructed building of a relatively recent construction. Characteristics are close to class "A1", but allow minor deviations on secondary parameters.

"A3"

Can be assigned to a completely reconstructed building aged 20-30 years. Comparative inefficiency of the layout and a lower quality central air conditioning system are allowed.

There may be some deterioration in relation to the subclass "A2", for example, the location of the office center is not in the central, but in a more remote, but prestigious area.

"AT"

Economy class offices, as class "B" office space is often called, often do not have fundamental differences from the class "A" office. Unlike Class A, which refers to representative premises, Class B commercial property refers to work premises. Large companies have staff in such offices that are not related to top management. The tenants are small organizations and companies.

These spaces are characterized by:

"WITH"

Class "C" offices are mainly located in Soviet-era buildings converted for office needs: research institutes, institutes, plant management.

A building of this type is often characterized by a complete lack of central air conditioning, unprofessional management, and a lack of equipped parking.

Repairs are made using cheap materials, there are problems with electricity and infrastructure. The main characteristics of class "C" office premises:

1. Location on the outskirts of the city, inconvenient access to the building.
2. The service life exceeds 10 years.
3. Standard repair, corridor system.
4. Outdated design, inefficient layout.

"D"

Class D properties do not meet the requirements of a modern facility office real estate. Offices of this class are characterized by outdated engineering solutions, wooden floors, lack of life support services. They are located outside the city, in converted warehouse and industrial premises, in residential buildings.

Class "D" is characterized by:

1. Building in need of major renovation.
2. Corridor system, location in basements and semi-basements, lack of quality planning.
3. Parking spontaneous, unguarded.
4. Lack of building maintenance and management infrastructure.

Variation in real estate prices for offices

Office real estate prices depend on many factors, the main of which is the distance from the center and compliance with a particular category. The average rental rate for an A-class office in 2018 in Moscow is 25,500 rubles. per sq.m. per year, a B+ class office can be rented for an average of 16,000 rubles/sq.m. per year, and sq.m. in a class "B-" office will cost 14,500 rubles. in year. Renting an office in the category below is, on average, 9,000 rubles per sq.m. in year.

The need for a correct assessment determines the importance of using and constantly updating the most convenient and complete classification for all market participants. Clear criteria give a clear idea of ​​what the tenant is willing to pay money for, and what choice and opportunity the landlord is willing to provide.

In world practice today, several different classifications are used, but the most popular is the system created by BOMA International (The Building Owners and Managers Association), founded in 1907. In accordance with the developed system, office buildings are divided into categories A, B and C.

A-class real estate is recognized as the most prestigious and high-quality, and class C buildings are the least suitable for doing business and unsuitable for the requirements of the time.

The main characteristics by which the belonging of buildings is determined are:

• Its location (including distance from the city center).
• Building type.
• The year the building was erected.
• Home management and maintenance systems.
• The layout of the premises, the modernity of the decoration and construction of the building.
• Functionality and efficiency of engineering and telecommunication systems.
• Availability and convenience of parking spaces.
• Availability and modernity of elevators.
• Infrastructure.

In the conditions of the Russian market, classifications adopted abroad are not acceptable, since they describe only commercial real estate that meets international standards, while more than 80% of Moscow buildings that house business centers belong to categories not covered by the world classification.

In addition, an important criterion in the international classification is the location of the object, depending on its distance from the center, while most modern buildings in Moscow are built outside the Garden Ring. That is why the criterion of the location of the building is considered primarily in the Russian classification from the point of view of walking distance and the development of transport links.

The Russian Federation has not approved a unified classification of commercial office real estate. At the same time, several types of systems based on extremely similar principles are successfully used on the market.

The most common are:

1. Classification G.M. Sternik, Professor of the Department of Project and Program Management of the Russian University of Economics. G.V. Plekhanov, chief analyst at NPRGR.
2. Classification of the Moscow Research Forum, developed in 2003.
3. Classification of the St. Petersburg Research Forum, developed in 2008.

In accordance with the Moscow classification, office buildings were divided into 4 categories: A, B+, B- and C. In 2013, the “Certification” item was also introduced, i.e. the compliance of offices with global energy efficiency parameters.

According to another common classification office real estate class A is further divided into categories A1, A2 and A3 or A+, A and A- which makes it more detailed. This system is used by the largest company, Noble Gibbons, owned by CB Richard Ellis Group.

Description of the requirements and distinctive features of buildings by class

"BUT"

A class real estate is the most suitable solution for renting office space. Such buildings are located in areas with a well-thought-out layout, are of high quality load-bearing structures and finishes, most often equipped with automated life support, security, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Business centers of this class are located in the center or other prestigious areas with a developed transport system.

The demand for such offices is formed by large companies and branches of foreign firms opening in the Russian Federation.

In recent years The standards and requirements that apply to class A buildings are constantly growing. This is due to the emergence of smart offices, in which all the main systems and the general level of comfort are at a new qualitative level, and business centers built at the end of the 20th century cannot withstand competition and fall into a different category.

The main evaluation criteria are:

• Availability of a single central building management system.
• Modern fire fighting system.
• Ceilings not lower than 2.7 meters.
• High quality of used finishing materials.
• Modernity of elevators and their total waiting time (no more than 30 seconds).
• The presence of spacious conference rooms, dining areas, thoughtful reception areas.
• Modern design.
• The presence of its own ground or underground parking adjacent to the building.

This subclass is characterized by the following features:

1. The age of the building is not more than 3 years.
2. The ability to adjust the microclimate in individual rooms.
3. The presence of a unified system for regulating temperature and humidity in the building.
4. Thoughtful ergonomic layout.

8. The presence of duplicate life-support systems.
9. Transport and walking accessibility, location in the center or other prestigious area of ​​the city.
10. Professional building and service management.

"A2"

The characteristics of this subclass are as close as possible to subclass A1, but inferior to it in some secondary parameters (there may be no restaurants or backup life support systems). The main characteristics are:

• Renovated building, built no more than 10 years ago.
• Less stringent requirements for the location of the property.
• The interior layout may not be very efficient.
• A large number of office spaces may not have windows.
• Less effective management of services and the building itself.

"A3"

This subclass is assigned to buildings that have undergone renovation, whose age does not exceed 30 years. Performance degradations in relation to subclass A2 are allowed, for example, remoteness from the center, the presence of an inefficient layout and less well-thought-out life support systems.

"AT"

Class B office space is often referred to as an economy class, but at the same time they do not have fundamental differences from class A. Most often, commercial real estate objects of this class belong to work premises, and large companies that rent them place all the personnel that are not related to to the category of top management.

The premises are characterized by the following criteria:

1. Distance from the center.
2. The building is over 10 years old.
3. Ceiling height - at least 3 meters.
4. Having quality finishes.
5. Availability and well-equipped public areas.
6. Secure parking available.
7. Developed infrastructure.
8. Quality management of the building and the services that serve it.

"WITH"

C-class commercial real estate most often represents Soviet-era buildings that are over 40 years old. Often these are redesigned research institutes, institutes, factories, etc.

This class of real estate is characterized by the absence of central air conditioning systems, convenient parking and inefficient planning.

• Location on the outskirts of the city.
• Lack of convenient transportation.
• Standard repair and use of obsolete finishing materials.
• corridor system.
• Frequent power supply problems.

"D"

D-class commercial real estate does not meet modern requirements required for office buildings and is unsuitable for doing business. Today in Russia the share of such premises is rapidly declining.

Such objects are characterized by the presence of outdated engineering systems, wooden floors and, as a rule, are located outside urban areas in industrial premises or residential buildings.

The main characteristics are:

1. Poor condition of the building, often requires major repairs.
2. Inefficient layout of the corridor type, location in the basement.
3. Lack of organized secure parking.
4. Bad infrastructure.

The spread of prices for commercial real estate of different classes

The cost of renting commercial real estate depends on many different factors, the main of which are its location and belonging to one or another category. The average price for renting office space in Moscow in 2019, according to CIAN, was:

• For class "A+"- 45,000 rubles per square meter per year.
• For class "A"- 33,000 rubles per square meter per year.
• For class "B +"- 25,000 rubles per square meter per year.
• For class "B"- 17,000 rubles per square meter per year.
• For class "B-"- 12,000 rubles per square meter per year.
• For class "C"- 8000 rubles per square meter per year.

Correct valuation of commercial real estate is extremely important for the effective use and timely updating of the classification system. Clearly defined criteria help the tenant to understand as accurately as possible what conditions the rented office space should meet and what options the landlord can offer.
