Ownership
The Huntington Atrium office building was completed in 1987. At that time, four units or 8.2366 percent of the building, were sold to help finance the construction costs. Since then the remaining units have not been for sale, but have been rented. However, as part of the owner’s estate planning, this has changed. Units are now for sale and the advantages of ownership are available to you as a purchaser of a unit in the Huntington Atrium Condominium.
When you purchase a unit in a condominium you are purchasing title to real estate, defined specific real estate which you own, plus the right to use the common areas (parking lot, corridors, bathrooms, conference rooms, etc.), along with the obligation to contribute your share of the cost of maintaining the common areas. This maintenance is provided at a high level and a low cost that reflects the economics of scale available only in large building.
Prior Sales
There are a total of 54 units in the Huntington Atrium, varying in size and location. In addition to the original sale of four units (8.2366 percent of the building), there have been additional sales in 2007 of nine units (total 16.8365 percent) of the building. The remaining 41 units, 500-3,600 square feet, or 74.4269 percent of the building, are available.

Why You Should Own Your Office
1. The cost to own is lower than the cost to rent, starting day one.
2. The cost advantage of owning increases each year: If you own, your mortgage interest payment decreases as you pay off the loan. If you rent, your rent escalates each year per your lease.
3. If you rent, you are locked into a commitment for the period of the lease. If you own, you can sell at any time.
4. If you rent and you wish to renew your lease when it expires, you have no assurance you will be able to do so and, if so, what the new rent will be. If you own, you can occupy as long as you like and your mortgage payment remains fixed.
5. As an owner, you are free to make any improvements you want in your office space- and the improvements belong to you. If you rent, your Landlord owns and controls the space you occupy.
6. If you expect to expand in the future you may want to purchase adjoining space up front and rent it out until you need it.
7. If you own, any gain in the value of the property year by year goes to you. And because only a percentage of the money to purchase the property was actually provided by you (the rest is your mortgage), your gain is substantially leveraged. When you rent, your landlord gains this leveraged appreciation.
8. There are substantial tax code advantages to owning. The depreciation allowance produces a current tax deduction each year. It has the effect of postponing taxes on annual income year by year and converting it into long term capital gain with a lower tax rate when you sell.
9. You can set up a separate entity to own the property and thereby adjust net between your operating entity and the entity that owns the property.
