Year-end is a natural moment to ensure your commercial space is set up to support your best performance in the year ahead. This checklist is designed for Forward Business Park tenants and any business tenant who wants to close out the year with a thorough, systematic review of their workspace — and enter 2027 with the operational foundation in place for a strong start.

Lease and Administration Review

Confirm your current lease term and note any upcoming expiration, renewal option windows, or rent escalation dates. If a renewal decision is approaching within the next 12 months, begin evaluating your options now rather than at the deadline. Review your lease terms for any annual compliance requirements — insurance certificates, permitted use confirmations, maintenance responsibilities — and ensure you are in full compliance.

Space Organization and Maintenance

Conduct a systematic organization of your entire space — office areas, storage areas, and any operational zones. Dispose of or donate equipment, materials, and inventory that you no longer need. Clean and organize storage areas so that the new year starts with a clear, efficient layout. Identify any maintenance issues that need landlord attention and submit service requests before year-end.

Technology and Infrastructure Review

Review your internet, phone, and technology infrastructure against your 2027 operational requirements. If your team will grow or your operations will expand, assess whether your current connectivity and power capacity will support the additional load. Address any technology infrastructure gaps before Q1 demand peaks.

Space Planning for 2027 Growth

If your 2027 plan includes team growth, new operational activities, or expanded capacity requirements, plan the space layout changes needed to support those activities before they arrive rather than after. A well-planned reconfiguration executed in December or January prepares your space for the demands of the year ahead.
