10 Questions to Ask When Renting an Office at D Plaza

D Plaza is an 11-storey plaza office building on Yıldız Posta Street in Gayrettepe. Each floor has a usable area of about 685 m², and almost all floors are let to businesses. Companies looking for an office in the building therefore usually enter a long-term lease on a floor-by-floor basis. To make the right decision, go into the meeting prepared and get clear answers to these ten questions.

Questions about the building and the floor

• 1. When is the floor available? The handover date should match your moving timeline.
• 2. In what condition is it handed over? Empty, partly fitted or furnished; this directly sets the cost and time of fit-out.
• 3. Does the floor plan fit your needs? About 685 m², with 4 WCs with washbasins and 1 kitchen area per floor. Plan the layout of meeting rooms, open-plan areas and private offices from the start.
• 4. Is the technical infrastructure adequate? Check air conditioning, electrical capacity, data infrastructure and fire safety systems.

Questions about costs

• 5. What is the rent and how is it reviewed? Alongside the rent, clarify how annual reviews will be calculated and written into the lease.
• 6. What do service and common charges cover? Items such as security, cleaning, common-area electricity and maintenance determine the total cost.
• 7. What are the deposit and payment terms? The deposit amount, payment period and refund conditions should be stated clearly in the lease.

Questions about use

• 8. How many parking spaces are allocated? The building has a covered car park; ask separately about the number of spaces for the tenant and visitor parking.
• 9. Do the building rules fit your way of working? Working hours, signage, deliveries and visitor access; the building has 24/7 security.
• 10. What are the lease term and break terms? Discuss the term, renewal and early exit up front, in case you grow or shrink.

Building management and tenant compatibility

At D Plaza, care is taken that tenants' activities are compatible with the other businesses in the building. This protects the working environment, but it also means a prospective tenant should explain their activity, visitor traffic and working hours clearly from the outset.

How to prepare for the meeting

Before the meeting, define your headcount, the meeting and shared areas you need, your budget, your moving date and who will make the decision. This speeds up the process and lets you move quickly when a suitable floor becomes available.

Why rent on a floor-by-floor basis?

Renting a whole floor of about 685 m² lets a company bring its team together in one space, design its entrance and reception around its own identity and avoid sharing common areas with another tenant. This is especially useful for companies that receive visitors, handle confidential work or rely on close contact between teams.

A final check before signing

Make sure every condition agreed in the meetings is fully reflected in the lease, and record the floor's condition at handover in a photographic report to avoid disputes on exit.
