office buildings

Where employees commute

Office buildings are structures designed primarily for commercial work activities—housing businesses, professional services, and administrative operations.

They range from small single-tenant properties to massive skyscrapers with hundreds of companies.

Office buildings typically feature repetitive floor plans, elevators, and shared amenities like lobbies and parking: The downtown skyline is dominated by glass office buildings.
