Signing your first commercial office lease feels like a win. Then the first bills arrive. Base rent was only the start. In a triple net (NNN) lease you also pay for electricity, water, gas, internet, and cleaning, and in a Tulsa summer those numbers move every month.
You want a place to run your business, not a second job managing a building.
That is why more Tulsa owners rent a private office where every operating cost sits in one flat monthly bill. At Catalyst Coworking in Midtown, 2510 E 15th St, your rent, utilities, fiber internet, and parking come as a single predictable payment. One bill, no surprises.
What a traditional lease really costs you
Most owners compare offices by price per square foot and stop there. In an NNN lease the base rent is only the first line. On top of it you set up and pay your own internet, hire a cleaner, and cover the full cost of electricity, water, and gas.
That last part hurts most in Oklahoma. Run the air conditioning through July and your power bill climbs in a way you can’t predict in January. You end up managing a building instead of growing a business. If you’re weighing your options, this breakdown of office space in Tulsa vs coworking covers the trade-offs in full.
One flat bill you can actually budget around
Cash flow is the number that decides whether a small business survives its first few years. When your overhead jumps around because of utility swings, you can’t forecast a budget, plan a hire, or commit to an ad spend.
A private office at Catalyst removes those variables. You pay one rate. It’s the same in July as it is in January.

Micro Office ยท $300/mo
A quiet, lockable room for one. Best for a solo founder or remote worker who needs a door that shuts and zero distractions. View the Micro Office โ
Double Micro Office ยท $425/mo
A bit more room than the Micro, still built for one. Good if you want space for a second monitor, a printer, or a client chair. View the Double Micro Office โ
Small Office ยท $550/mo
Fits one or two people. A solid first private office for a founder plus a first hire. View the Small Office โ
Standard Office ยท $675/mo
Room for a team of two to four. Enough space for a small agency or a growing service business. View the Standard Office โ
Large Office ยท $825/mo
The biggest private suite, sized for a team of four to nine. For a business that has outgrown a couple of desks. View the Large Office โ
Scale without breaking a lease
Commercial landlords want a three to five year signature. Double your team in six months and you’re stuck in a room that’s too small, or you pay to break the contract.
Catalyst runs month to month. Start solo on a Designated Desk at $227/month. When you land funding and hire two people, move into a private office at $300 to $825. Your address on 15th Street stays the same, your internet stays on, and you never sign a multi-year lease. Here’s more on keeping office costs low as you grow.
Your membership is a direct business expense, so it’s generally tax-deductible. Confirm the details with your accountant.
More than four walls
A good office does more than keep the lights on. When you rent a private office in Tulsa at Catalyst, you also get access to the people around you:
