Core & shell or fully finished: which fit-out actually saves you money
The cheapest rent is rarely the cheapest space. Here is how the four delivery conditions really compare once you add up time, fit-out and lost months.
Every tenant asks the same first question: what is the rent. It is the wrong place to start. The real number is what it costs to get your team working in the space, and how many months pass before that happens.
The four conditions, plainly
Signature delivers space in four states. Each trades upfront cost against time and control.
- Core & shell gives you a clean canvas. Lowest rent, highest fit-out, most control.
- Semi-finished takes floors, walls and services to a head start, so you finish faster.
- Fully finished is move-in ready, furnished, branded from day one.
- Managed means we run the building so you never think about it again.
Why time is the hidden cost
A core & shell unit can look like a bargain until you price three months of fit-out, a project you have to manage, and a team still paying for their old space. Fully finished costs more per meter and erases all of that.
The right delivery condition is the one that gets your business earning in the space the fastest.
How to choose
If your brand lives in its interiors, take it raw and build your vision. If speed matters more than bespoke detail, take it ready. Most businesses sit in the middle, which is exactly why semi-finished exists.
