They also contain the highest grade technology and accessibility features available. Typically, custom specialty millworkers do highest grade finishes for Class A office space, and for these reasons these office buildings have higher rents. Amenities in Class A buildings are often included and are helpful for the tenants or staff there. For example, Class A buildings may have:
