If they gave tours when their staff had spare capacity to do so and required appointments otherwise, what kind of problems would that cause?
What cost would those problems have to the business? Would those outweigh the lost sales from refusing tours?
- brudgers 8y agoAppointments are not unusual when arranging for commercial space. Norms are similar to any other professional/B2B environment. I suspect it's a filter. An appointment only process allows the property managers to notify current tenants beforehand; to schedule around shared facility use (e.g. conference rooms); and to research what's available when for how long.
- jeltz 8y agoThat is a fair point. If they are not busy there is not really any reason to not offer a tour. But I can also understand why they heavily prefer appointments. Having random people show up and interrupt your work can be annoying.
- anm89 8y agoIt's a communal space. If they see me coming in to an open area as "disrupting" that's probably not a community I'm interested in anyway. It's not like I was requesting to see a meeting room that was in use.
