Turn Key Infrastructure vs. Individual Development

When selecting a property to house your organization you have many decisions to make. Some of these decisions are relatively small and, while they may contribute to your appreciation of the space, are largely of the take-it-or-leave-it variety. Other decisions are considerably more important and significant and require a fair amount of deliberation.

One of the most important and significant decisions you will ever make revolves around whether you choose to move into a turnkey property, or whether you will develop your corporate home from the ground up.

Turnkey properties provide you with everything you need, ready and waiting for you, from the day you move into them. For example a turn key restaurant opportunity would be a property with a full working kitchen, fully stocked with all the equipment you need for your endeavor, and a full seating and hosting area, all of which meet the aesthetics and functionality you’re looking for. A turnkey business-oriented property will have all the offices, cubicles and other fixtures and amenities your staff will require. Once more all you need to do is move your people in and they will be able to get to work, hassle free, from day one.

A turnkey property offers one primary benefit- convenience. Turnkey properties reduce the number of decisions you have to make and cut down the amount of time it takes between closing the deal and situating your organization in its new home.

Now, the appeal of turnkey properties lies in your ability to find one that meets your needs to a very close degree. If you have special needs, or if you are simply unable to find an appropriate turnkey property  for your organization, then the longer, less convenient, but infinitely more flexible process of real estate development will suite you better.
