EDIT:
I wanted to talk more about the sqft consumed by one of the Koa Wood reception desks I mentioned (These are desks made from Koa Wood - which is the treasure-wood of Hawaii, and you cannot harvest it - so you have to purchase an already-made-thing, then work it to your desired product.
This wood is super expensive (its going to sky-rocket due to the Maui fires (im sure some of those ancient stores had Koa things in them)
But to give you an idea:
The basic slabs that we installed in the lobbies of, say, 50 Fremont for salesforce - the thing was IIRC $~65,000k for a reception console top (with side curtains, live edge) - we roughly 24"x96" (I dont recall dimensions) --
EDIT - Apparently I am wrong on the purchasing of Koa, as you can get pieces - what I do know is that some of the receptions were made from older peices that were purchased and then rebuilt to the new format...
I do know they were >$65,000 - and I am trying to merge to follwoing sqft price for the area of both the desk and the sqft under it based on the $711 sqft price in SF + the cost of the Koa desk / its footprint...
So,
Assume
18x120 koa desk (made by a koa master in HI) $65000
Cost of raw materials (unknown)
sfqt cost in SF based on $(n) we will pick the $711 number and the other one.
Works out to ~20 SF at a price for just the actual flooring, at 14,220 per year. Then the cost of the wood can be calculated but doesnt matter at this point, that desk costs $~8.00 hr just to sit there (if it were available M-F, 8-5)
