The problem

You pay fixed rent for offices that (almost) nobody uses

Since 2020 hybrid work has changed everything, except the leases. Companies with offices spread across several cities keep paying fixed rents for spaces that are occupied, on average, barely a third of the time.

The question no Facility Manager wants to ask out loud:

“Are we really using these offices?”

35% average occupancy of secondary offices, post-2020
€280 average monthly cost per unused workstation
60% of companies have not yet revised their leases

The company profile

Who is Grenke Italia

Operating and financial leasing company, present in over 30 countries. Before 2023 the Italian division was organised around 15 operating offices across the country.

Sector Financial services / operating leasing
Employees 120 in Italy
Offices before NOD 15 (1 headquarters + 14 secondary)
Distribution Milan, Rome, Turin, Bologna, Florence + 9 cities
Work model Hybrid - 2 to 3 days a week in the office
Average occupancy 32% on secondary offices

Grenke was paying €1,800,000/year for offices used 32% of the time

The diagnosis

Where the €1,800,000 a year went

Before deciding anything, Grenke ran a detailed internal cost analysis of its 15 offices.

Cost item Annual cost Share of total
Rent, secondary offices (14) €1,120,000
62%
Utilities (energy, internet) €280,000
16%
Routine maintenance €180,000
10%
Fit-out and furniture €110,000
6%
Administrative management €110,000
6%
Total €1,800,000
100%

62% of the costs were fixed rent for offices used less than two days a week.
