Build Luxury Office Spaces for Rent in Toronto

Tons of people are looking for office spaces to rent for their businesses. While many of us think of office buildings as large monoliths, owned by large, successful companies, those are the exception. More often than not, office buildings are a huge conglomeration of small businesses sharing space with each other. If you want a successful business investment, creating luxury offices spaces for others to rent is a surefire answer to your prayers.

Individual Offices

A demographic that is often overlooked are the individual office workers. Most companies start with just one or two people. If someone’s home isn’t big enough to accommodate their business needs, or two people need a common space to meet and work together, renting a single office is a great solution.

Individual offices may be no bigger than the average bedroom. One might range from 70SqFt to 250. That means you can have a whole lot of them in one office building. Plus, because they don’t require all of the amenities a residential living space needs, they’re cheaper to upkeep. Bathrooms can be shared between different offices and no kitchen is required. Cheaper upkeep means more profit and less maintenance than apartments.

Small Company Spaces

As with all things, variety improves success. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket and all that. Therefore, in addition to individual offices, small company spaces are a great next step. A small company space would likely include one large, shared space for cooperative work along with a couple of attached rooms for private office space. Small company spaces could also have their own private bathroom. This type of space is perfect for a new, budding company with a handful of members and a steady flow of work. These are high demand spaces. 

It’s recommended that you allow these luxury office spaces to be rented for short terms as well as longer terms. Leasing an office for a year is great. However, making them available to people for a few days or weeks means the additional avenue of reaching project groups. If a few people from a large company are on a project together, but need more than their individual cubicles to get it done, they can get some additional workspace from a third party rental like your own.

Floor Rentals

Next up, we have whole floor rentals. Medium-sized companies need a place as well. Buying or renting an entire, individual building for a medium-sized company is not always in the budget. This is especially true of companies based in cities like Toronto, where real estate is competitive.

Depending on how large your building’s footprint is, a whole floor could be big enough to accommodate anywhere from 20 to 200 people. These types of tenants are typically long-term, stable renters. Floor rentals will be your bread and butter as an office rental owner.

Get Started

If this is sounding like a fantastic use of your savings, you’re absolutely right. This is an investment in your future that will pay you back generously. Call us at Heidan Construction if you’re ready to take the next step on luxury office spaces design. We offer some of the best service and design capabilities in the Toronto construction industry. Let us put it to work for you.

When you think of an office building, you don’t usually think luxury. Most people probably imagine flat carpeting, big windows, dusty blinds, and a lot of cubicles. We can do better.

Luxury office design seeks to reinvent the interior design of an office and implement modern technology. Luxury business headquarters should feel open, tall, and powerful. It should implement all modern conveniences in technology.

In your luxury business headquarters, you shouldn’t feel like you’ve moved into just any building. You should feel as if the building was made for you – because it is.

Personalized functionality can look like:

  • Custom shelving that facilitates unique product or material storage
  • Freshly designed furniture made to accommodate your company’s day-to-day activity
  • Additional luxuries that aid in the running of your company, even if they’re not found in the average office space

Ingrained Branding

Your brand is vital to the success of, well, your brand. Incorporating branding throughout your luxury business headquarters is very important to us. Everywhere you go in your office, there should be hints of your company lingering. Colors are a great example of this. If your company is branded with certain colors, those should be present in all parts of the office, in ways that are both subtle and eye catching.

Can a Doctor’s Office Have Smart Technology?

As the world moves forward in its technological advancement, people, buildings, and businesses that don’t adapt fall behind. That begs the question, can somewhere like a doctor’s office have smart technology? Let’s find the answer.

Smart Technology’s Purpose

Smart technology has been advancing at breakneck speed. While, once, these types of software may have struggled to fulfill their intended purpose, programs are continually getting better at doing what we need them to. In a smarthome, there’s technology integrated to ease the day-to-day lives and organization of its occupants. The same can be said for many types of business offices. However, can you put this type of technology into a doctor’s office to make treating patients easier?

Complying with Patient Confidentiality

Patient confidentiality is where things get sticky with smart technology. Because most smart technology is made by big companies that love collecting data and selling it to the highest bidder, much of it would be off-limits to a doctor’s office. A smart intercom that makes communicating with the kids on the second floor of your house would be a huge breach of privacy if placed in a doctor’s office. Any information given during an appointment could be recorded and parsed by an AI, then sold.

Smart Technology in a Doctor’s Office

However, this pitfall belongs solely to the most popular smart technology. There are applications and programs made specifically for places that require discretion and confidentiality. Many of them are especially for doctors’ offices.

One such example is an automated note-taking software. After getting your patient’s permission, you can activate this software and allow it to take notes for you. The software will use the mic on your office laptop or tablet and jot down the important parts of your patient’s statements for you. This allows you to focus more on listening than on typing – which is important for building a relationship with your patient. 

There’s nothing worse than going to your doctor with a problem only for them to spend all their time staring at the computer and typing. They may be putting down what you’re saying word for word, but it feels like they’re not really there. Automated note-taking allows you to be fully present and engage with your patient without worrying about putting it all down on ‘paper.’

Luxury Doctor’s Office Design

Your doctor’s office may be limited in what smart technology it can implement. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have luxury. There’s plenty more to a luxury medical office design than just fancy intercoms and voice-controlled music. Give us a call at Heidan Construction if you’re looking to remodel or build a new medical office. We look forward to updating your workspace so that you feel like you’re working from 2022 instead of 2000.

3 Great Features of Custom Houses That No One Talks About

When talking about custom homes, people tend to focus on things like appearance and technology. Does your home have the latest in smart-fridge appliances? Do you have heated floors? Well, maybe you do. However, there are 3 really great features of custom houses that go unpraised by the average architecture enthusiast. Heidan Construction is intimately familiar with what makes a custom home great, so we’re here to share.

Custom Floorplan

The first thing may seem obvious but, to many, it isn’t. People get so focused on having the flooring or paint color they want that they forget about the floorplan. All of those little things that get on your nerves in the average house can be completely done away with. 

Tired of your toilet being crammed between the tub and sink? Give your bathroom lots of free space and a comfortable margin around the toilet. Is it your pet peeve waking up to sunlight in your eyes? It’s within your power to put your bedroom window on the north wall! Like your kitchen in the front of the house but don’t want the entry to go directly into it? You can position everything exactly how you like it so that, when you come home, you feel truly at home.

Made with a Purpose

If you enjoy planning with detail, you probably have ideas about your custom home design and exactly how it will look. When you plan each room down to where the furniture goes, you can design the actual house to fit each purpose exactly. This is one of the most convenient features of custom houses.

If you plan on having an office space, if you know where your desk is going, you can put your light fixture right overhead. Know how you want your living room arranged? Position your fireplace, light fixtures, or built-in entertainment center right where you need it. You can say goodbye to adapting to houses that weren’t made for you. Instead, unload your moving van and put everything right where it goes. When each area of your home is made with a purpose, you can plan it right down to crafting an alcove for that one decoration you never have a spot for. It all fits like a glove.

The Perfect Fit

Speaking of the perfect fit, one of the features of custom houses means building exactly the amount of space you need. For growing families, you may have to make some guesses regarding future needs. However, if you’re done having kids, or don’t intend to have any to begin with, you won’t need to do much guessing.

You can put in exactly as many bedrooms as you need. Or, you can put in exactly as many rooms as you need for your various hobbies. Therefore, if you’ve got family that likes to visit, you know you need a guest room. Your art studio can be designed to accommodate exactly the supplies and equipment you have or plan to buy. All of those spaces you’ve found yourself dreaming of having for yourself will be right there. You won’t have to constantly think about expanding rooms or moving to a bigger home that has something closer to what you need. You’ll have exactly what you’re after.

If you’re ready to stop moving and settle down somewhere that checks off all the boxes, call us at Heidan Construction. We’re ready to help make your dream home a reality.

Luxury Custom Family Homes in Toronto

Luxury custom homes are a great aspiration for most people. They have so much to offer to professionals, those heading into retirement, and successful young couples making an investment in their future. However, we can’t ignore one of the most common demographics in the country: families! When you have kids, luxury custom family homes are what you’re looking for. And those come with a few extra perks. Here’s what Heidan Construction could do to improve your family’s day-to-day life.

Intercom Systems Enhance Communication

Tired of the headache of yelling up the stairs for your kids to come down for dinner? Want to check if your teen is awake in time to leave? A home intercom system is a fantastic addition in luxury custom family homes. They make communication a breeze. Sure, you could text each other. But who wants to feel tied to their cellphone even in their own home? Plus, sometimes text notifications go unheard. Speaking directly through the intercom means contacting each other from anywhere in the home, at any time, without going unnoticed. 

Not only does this improve communication, it also lowers stress. Did you know that households with a lot of yelling have higher stress levels? This doesn’t just apply to households where anger is the source of the raised voices. Humans just naturally get tense when people are yelling back and forth. Release that tension with an intercom.

High Quality Security Improves Safety

While no one wants to have their belongings stolen, there’s a bigger concern with potential break-ins: safety. Break-ins can be extremely dangerous to anyone in the house when it occurs. Most robbers aren’t there to hurt people, but fear and adrenaline can lead to irreversible harm.

If you’re going to invest in a luxury home, investing in a high quality security system is a must. Your home isn’t just attractive to you; it’s also attractive to those looking for a quick buck.

Save Time with Remote Controls

Running a household and caring for a family is a lot of work. If your schedule is full and you’re tired of details falling through the cracks, you’ll benefit from smart-home controls. Many parts of the home can easily be controlled remotely these days. With an app on your smart device, you can control:

  • The home thermostat
  • Window blinds in any room of the house
  • Your security system, including alarms and cameras
  • The locks on your exterior doors
  • Many entertainment devices, such as wired-in home speaker systems

Say goodbye to leaving the house and wondering if you turned the alarm on. Adjust the thermostat on your way back from summer vacation so that your luxury custom family home is cool when you arrive. Unlock the front door for your sister so she can check on the dog while you and the kids are away for a retreat.

Custom Homes for Sports Enthusiasts and Athletes

Buying a custom home is a fantastic experience. In the end, you get everything you need. After all, it’s designed just for you! However, when looking at custom home advertisements, they’re always catering to the average professional. What about those of us who prefer a life of activity over sitting in an office? Sports enthusiasts and professional athletes need look no further than Toronto’s leading construction company, Heidan Construction, to find custom homes they love. Let’s take a look at what “custom home” can mean for someone like you.

Amenities for Activity

For those who just enjoy a bit of activity in their daily lives, there are amenities that support that. For example, an indoor or outdoor pool is a great way to relax and stay active. Swimming is one of the most underestimated forms of exercise. Taking a dip in the pool may be relaxing because it takes the edge off of gravity, but it also works every muscle in your body.

Indoor pools are great for year-round use, privacy, and ease of upkeep. They also offer the opportunity to install a pool heater. Outdoor pools, however, are more seasonal, require a bit more upkeep, and are less private. However, they come with the benefit of letting you relax in the sun or take a dip in the moonlight. If you enjoy being outdoors, an outdoor pool might be the better option.

Indoor Courts

Custom homes for athletes bring comfort to games often played outdoors or at the gym. Enjoy a nice game of racketball? How about a game of basketball with the familiar squeak of the wooden court flooring under your shoes? Trade in outdoor, paved courts for a private basketball court attached to your home. 

Without the need for high tech scoreboards and bleachers, indoor basketball or racketball courts aren’t actually hard to make. The most expensive part of them is the space they occupy. If you want an indoor court that you can use at any time of year with comfort, you can have it. If money is no object, you can even opt for those fancy accessories like the electronic scoreboard!

Indoor Gym and Luxury Bathroom

Leisure and games are a favorite to many. But, they’re not the only way to stay active. If spending some time each day lifting weights or running in comfort is what keeps you feeling good, an indoor gym is exactly what you need.

Anyone can throw a treadmill and some dumbbells into a spare bedroom. But, can they create an extension of their home that feels just like their own private gym? If you’re working with Heidan Construction, you can.

Not only can you cancel your gym membership and remove the commute from your schedule, you can do it in luxury. After all, an in-home gym isn’t half as great if the gym bathroom is as oppressive as a public one. Instead, attach a luxury on-suite to your personal gym. Sweat it out in a built-in sauna. Refresh yourself in an open-concept shower with multiple showerheads and a bench to recover on. Relax those tense muscles in a soaker tub. There’s no wrong way to feel luxurious after working out.
