office blocks
Where companies reside
Office blocks are large buildings divided into offices for multiple businesses or organizations.
The term is primarily British; Americans more often say office buildings.
The architecture typically features uniform floors of rentable space: The downtown skyline is dominated by glass office blocks.
The phrase sometimes carries connotations of bland, utilitarian design.
