Because guessing your square footage is costing you time, money, and momentum.

When it comes to finding the right office space, one of the most common mistakes scaling teams make is underestimating how much space they actually need — or worse, overpaying for space that won’t support their growth.

At Nomad Group, we’ve worked with hundreds of VC-backed startups and scaling companies across New York City, and we see this issue over and over again. That’s why we built a simple, intuitive Office Space Calculator designed specifically for growing teams.

Why It Matters

Whether you’re a 10-person startup or a 100+ person team, your office should work for you — not against you.

• Too small? You’re moving again in 12 months.
• Too big? You’re burning capital you could invest in hiring or product.
• Too generic? You’re losing the opportunity to create culture and brand identity.

The right square footage gives your team room to breathe, collaborate, and scale — without waste.

How the Calculator Works

Our tool factors in:

• Your current headcount
• Growth plans over the next 6–18 months
• Desired layout mix (offices vs. open desks vs. flex space)
• Amenities like meeting rooms, phone booths, lounges, and more

And outputs a target square footage range that reflects how your team actually works — not just how space is usually sold.

Built for Fast-Growing Teams

This isn’t a generic tool for corporate real estate departments. This is for:

• Founders trying to make their first office decision
• Heads of People or Operations planning for growth
• CFOs evaluating cost per seat and long-term lease viability

Whether you’re looking at coworking, direct leases, or a managed office solution, the calculator gives you a smarter starting point.
