Tenants in multi-tenant space pay a pro rata share of common area space (i.e., halls, lobby, etc.) and some poorly designed or older buildings have a high percentage of such space (wide halls, obsolete atriums, for example).

If you are buying an office property (owner-occupant or investor) also consider:
Income (from other tenants, if applicable)
Expenses
Mortgages
Condition of Roof (age)
Condition of parking lot (ramp) and age
Tenants (length, type, credit)
Lease terms and conditions.
