Is Now the Right Time to Expand, Relocate, or Downsize Your Business?

Business leaders across Oklahoma are often asking the samequestion: Should we move? Should we grow? Or is it time to scale down? In today’s market, there's no universal answer—but there are strategic opportunities for all three scenarios.

At Fleske Commercial Real Estate, we can help you make that decision based on more than just square footage. Here’s how the current landscape is reshaping what right-sizing really looks like—and how ourteam helps guide the process.

The Business Landscape Has Shifted

The way we work and use space has changed dramatically:

• Hybrid  work models are impacting office layouts and occupancy needs.
• Economic pressures have some companies rethinking overhead.
• Increased  reliance on technology is reducing physical storage or onsite     requirements.
• Flexible  workstyles are calling for collaborative layouts rather than     traditional setups.

Whether your business is growing, stabilizing, orrestructuring, your space should evolve alongside it, not work against it.

Expansion: Plan for Growth, Not Guesswork

If your team is growing or your customer base is expanding,it may be time to secure more square footage—but that doesn’t mean rushing into it. We often help clients:

• Lease  adjacent space now for future growth, without building it out right away
• Negotiate  favorable terms to “hold” space without fully activating it
• Include rights of first refusal on neighboring units to preserve long-term options

The goal? You grow into your space strategically—not outgrowit too soon.

Relocation: Rethinking What “Works”

If your current location no longer supports your team’sworkflow, morale, or accessibility, relocating may offer new efficiencies. Wehelp you evaluate:

• Proximity  to key amenities
• Commute patterns for your team
• Workflow bottlenecks due to poor layout or design

And with in-house design support, we help reimagine whatyour space could be—from sightlines to storage to breakout rooms thatsupport collaboration.

Downsizing: Smarter, Not Smaller

Downsizing doesn't have to mean compromise. If your team ishybrid or you’re leveraging remote tools, we’ll help you explore:

• Shared workspace models
• More efficient furniture and layout plans
• Properties with flexible configurations for phased growth

By customizing your leased space to exactly what you need,we help you avoid overpaying for what you don’t.

Design Support That Makes the Difference

Fleske’s in-house design team works with tenants early inthe process to ensure:

• Space  is optimized from the start
• Future growth is factored in
• No  square foot is wasted

And because we’re involved from brokerage to build-out, we advocate for solutions—like lease terms that align with your timeline and cash flow.
