Let’s talk turnkey: unlocking better business outcomes for today and tomorrow
As the commercial landscape evolves, the demand for turnkey office fitouts and speculative suites (spec-suites) continues to grow, these ready-to-use, innovative workspaces offer businesses the flexibility and high-quality environments they need to adapt to changing occupancy requirements.
Brett Sims, Investment Manager, Workplace notes that turnkey solutions reduce risk by eliminating the complexities of design, construction, and make-good obligations allowing businesses to move in immediately. “This makes them especially appealing for growing and emerging companies looking to focus on what matters – driving their business’ growth,” he says.
Spec-suites are a practical, cost-effective choice for businesses wanting to upgrade their workspace without the stress of managing construction. Across our workplace portfolio, we are focused on providing premium, future-ready spaces that help businesses thrive in today’s competitive market.
The turnkey revolution
Flexible workplace solutions go beyond minimising commercial risk – they reduce disruption to productivity and employee satisfaction. “The simplicity of securing a spec-suite eliminates the need for lengthy fitout and approval processes. These suites are move-in ready, with technology and infrastructure already in place, minimising downtime and ensuring a seamless transition for businesses,” says Brett.
The ongoing “flight to quality” sees businesses prioritising premium offices to motivate and retain staff – spec-suites offer an opportunity to move from older, less people-friendly spaces into premium offices at nearly the same cost. As businesses seek higher-quality workplaces, we’re enhancing the amenity in our spec-suites and buildings with features like flexible workstations, wellness zones, end-of-trip facilities, and full-service kitchens – offering employees an upgrade from the home office.
“The spec-suites throughout our Workplace portfolio are designed to keep teams engaged and productive, which is key to driving success and fostering growth for modern businesses," says Brett.
Designing the future of work
We partner with leading architects, designers, and fitout construction specialists to create efficient, beautiful spaces for the modern workforce, “Businesses can foster positive organisational cultures and workplaces that thrive by designing and building with a focus on wellbeing, engagement, and performance,” said Emlyn Keane, Executive General Manager, Workplace & Enterprise Asset Management.
Technology is key, with smart office solutions and robust IT infrastructure in every spec-suite. Sustainability is also central, with circularity embedded in our broader ESG strategy. As demonstrated at 133 Castlereagh Street, part of the Well Health-Safety-rated Piccadilly Complex, where we recycled a significant amount of carpet and roof tiles in the latest spec-suites underscoring our commitment to reducing waste and creating healthier workplaces.
The new agility
Turnkey office solutions provide the flexibility businesses need to thrive in a fast-changing environment, “We offer a range of ready-to-use spaces that minimise disruption, allowing teams to move in and be operational quickly,” Brett says.
Our focus is on creating future-ready, sustainable workplaces that support business growth. With an emphasis on flexibility and efficiency, spec-suites are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses.
