OBCAI is a trade association linking Executive Suites or
Office Business Centers (OBC's) throughout the world.
Abby is a very active member of this association and its
local chapters. Several of Abby’s staff are involved
in its committees.
OBC's are a relatively new industry, but here are some statistics,
so you can get an idea of the industry’s size in North
America:
|
a |
There are approximately 5,000 OBC’s in business
today |
|
b |
170,000 different firms use offices in an OBC |
|
c |
These OBC’s occupy 82 million square feet of
office space |
|
d |
The industry employees 31,000 people. |
It is an industry that is growing quickly, as more and more
companies decide to use OBC’s for their office needs.
Several major corporations now have a policy that if they
have less than a defined number of staff in a market, they
have to office in an OBC because of the cost saving.
Our industry is growing, and Abby is active in its development.
