Redmond Office Market Overview
Redmond’s office market includes:
- Institutional Class A office buildings
- Campus-style corporate environments
- Creative office product
- Medical office suites
- Owner-user condo opportunities
Suite sizes range from small professional spaces (1,000–3,000 SF) to full-floor and campus requirements.
Redmond rental rates are typically higher than Kirkland or Bellevue suburban submarkets due to corporate demand and product quality.
However, in the current office cycle, tenants can often negotiate:
- Free rent
- Tenant improvement allowances
- Early renewal incentives
- Flexible expansion options
Timing is critical in this market.
Industrial & Flex Space in Redmond
Redmond offers limited traditional warehouse inventory but includes:
- Flex/industrial product
- Office/warehouse hybrid space
- R&D and light manufacturing buildings
Industrial users benefit from:
- Access to SR-520
- Connectivity to Bellevue and Seattle
- Proximity to Eastside residential labor pools
Because inventory is tighter than other Eastside markets, early planning is essential.

How Much Does Office Space Cost in Redmond?
Rental rates vary based on building class and location, but Redmond typically commands higher gross rental rates than many surrounding markets due to product quality and corporate presence.
That said, tenants with upcoming expirations (18–24 months out) often have significant leverage — especially if they are willing to evaluate renewal versus relocation strategies.
Should You Renew or Relocate in Redmond?
For many tenants, the decision comes down to:
- Cost to relocate versus negotiated renewal concessions
- Tenant improvement needs
- Parking ratios
- Access to transit
- Growth projections
Running a structured renewal-versus-relocation analysis early often results in stronger landlord concessions — even if you ultimately stay in place.

Start Early to Create Leverage
If your Redmond lease expires within the next 18–24 months, now is the time to begin evaluating options. Permitting and construction timelines in King County can take longer than expected.
Starting early increases negotiating leverage and optionality.
