With COVID-19 precautions well understood and vaccines being rolled out, many businesses that went remote during the pandemic have decided that it’s time to plan their return to the office
It’s time for easier collaboration and greater camaraderie.
It’s time for that synergistic creativity that happens when cubemates casually bounce ideas off each other.

Right-size your office while saving money
Firms that have opted for a hybrid model may find that they’re paying for more space than they currently need. Other businesses will want to lease additional square feet to accommodate social distancing. Whether you’re looking to scale up or down, Cummings’ space experts can design a custom office space that suits your needs and your budget. With office leasing rates as low as one-third the prices in Boston and Cambridge, Cummings’ full-service leases also offer exceptional value.
Find satellite office locations
Despite Zoom fatigue and loneliness, many remote workers will still note that “You can’t beat the commute.” A satellite office in the suburbs could offer an ideal setting close to home where teammates can put their heads together and innovate without the hassle of city gridlock or crowded public transit. Cummings’ locations are convenient to much of the greater Boston region, with suburban satellite offices available on Massachusetts’ North Shore, in the Merrimack Valley, and in MetroWest Boston.
Keep your options open
The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine bodes well for the Massachusetts business community, but with lingering uncertainty about the future, some companies are seeking a commercial lease with flexible terms as they prepare to return to the workplace. Cummings offers short-term leases as well as multi-year agreements, allowing businesses to choose the timeframe that works best for them while they continue to see how their industry adapts to the new normal.
Companies that lease with Cummings also benefit from its pledge to accommodate future expansion, which means leasing clients can avoid paying for extra space before they need it. With 10 million square feet across 11 greater Boston communities, Cummings can quickly find a larger space for growing client firms at any time during their lease term and with no penalty.
