The Dream Office

The Dream Office is about renovating and managing a neglected office building left to you by your wealthy father, a real estate developer, after you wreck another car. You start with no cash and must clean and repair the building, rent out its rooms, keep tenants happy and try to turn a profit. If the building makes money, it may one day be yours.

Renovate the building

Clean up trash, wash floors, repair walls, paint, tile and furnish rooms. You can sell useless junk to fund repairs and turn empty, damaged spaces into working offices. Each decision costs time and money, and poor choices can cause problems later.

The building includes offices, conference rooms, restrooms, hallways and service areas, each with its own role and challenges. Poor planning can leave tenants dissatisfied, while effective management improves your reputation and revenue.

Manage tenants

Companies make regular rental offers for premises that meet their requirements. Choose tenants and balance their needs against risk, reputation and steady income. Each company has its own expectations for equipment, comfort and cleanliness, as well as preferences for quiet workspaces or places to hold after-work parties.

Tenants joke, dance, nap and work. They value order and enjoy office parties; cleaning up afterward may sometimes reveal something valuable.

Keep things running

During the day, manage the spaces, rent premises and keep the building clean, functional and operating smoothly. Repair printers, maintain coffee machines, and respond to breakdowns, negligence and emergencies. Left unattended for too long, problems can become disasters, while poor cleanliness, reputation or functionality can carry a cost.
