Employees Prefer Working from Home? Maybe the Problem Is Your Office
In theory, finding a great office space in Tallinn seems incredibly easy – until you actually have to do it.
Often everything looks nice in the photos, and the price tag seems reasonable. Ads promise “an excellent location,” “bright, open spaces,” and a “modern work environment.” Many listings are filled with AI‑generated buzzwords that sound right. On paper, it all looks logical and beautiful.
Unfortunately, the reality is often quite different. Once you visit the space in person, you might find that parking is available – but it costs a fortune. The walls are decorated with screws left behind by the last five tenants. The windows look directly into the neighboring office’s kitchen. And if you can’t find the main entrance yourself when you go to view the office, neither will your future clients or partners.
If Office Doesn’t Work, Work Doesn’t Work
So what should you do? One of the lessons we learned during the COVID era is that if the office doesn’t work, the work doesn’t either. If team spirit, atmosphere, and motivation are missing, a significant part of your company’s potential gets wasted. Costs go up while revenue stays flat.
The solution? Find a workplace where your current employees will be happy to show up – and that will help you attract new talent at the same time.
Offices in Tallinn where location, price, feel, views, environmental awareness, indoor comfort, convenience, and technical readiness all line up are rare.
Still, one of those standout business buildings – Explorer – is right in the heart of Tallinn, between the cruise harbor and the Old Town. And, for the first time in a while, a large 749 m² office space is available – one that can also be split into three separate offices if needed.

Location for Everyone, Not Just Top Management
Explorer’s office building, with its striking LED‑lit facade, is located in the cruise harbor area of Tallinn (Kai 1) and is visible from afar to anyone passing by. It sits on a central artery of the city – not at a noisy intersection, but in a place that’s easy to reach from every district, whether on foot, by bike (bike parking is provided), by public transport (tram, bus, train, ferry), or by car.
Parking, which is far from a given in downtown Tallinn, is available directly under the building or in nearby lots. There’s room for everyone.
For employees, a good workplace isn’t just about accessibility – it’s also about the fact that a lunch break isn’t just another boring sandwich in the office kitchen, but a moment to enjoy life, energy, and diverse dining options.
The building is surrounded by all the “soft value” elements that matter: waterfront views, restaurants, cafés, fitness clubs, the harbor, a cinema, and the stylish Rotermann Quarter – all just minutes away.
Explorer is located in one of Tallinn’s fastest‑growing neighborhoods. Commercial and residential developments here are creating a vibrant new district – yet with fresh sea air and without typical city noise.

LEED Office Where Both Air and Ideas Flow
Explorer is the first LEED Platinum‑certified building in Tallinn and meets Class A standards in every respect: huge windows, solar panels, modern ventilation and indoor climate systems that don’t require you to open a window. Smart architectural cuts in the facade bring natural light deep into the interior.
Energy is used intelligently here, the indoor environment is healthy, and everything runs smoothly without effort. It’s no secret that this kind of setup also looks good to clients and investors – especially for startups.
So, what does this mean for employees? A healthy environment doesn’t just boost well‑being – it also improves productivity and, in turn, financial performance. Research confirms that natural light, appropriate temperature, and balanced humidity literally make employees happier and enhance performance. As a bonus, there’s a fully equipped kitchen and shower facilities. Everything in Explorer was designed with these details in mind from the start.
Flexible Spaces for Evolving Needs
The currently available spaces are flexible and suitable for modern IT, finance, or creative companies. You can choose whether you need an open‑plan workspace, meeting rooms, or separated areas for focused work. And if your company suddenly starts growing – no problem – you can simply move into a larger area or to another part of the building. Explorer is meant as a long‑term rental where you can feel settled and continue to grow.
Talent Notices. So Do Clients
A contemporary office in an attractive building isn’t just for those who already work there – it sends a powerful signal to top talent in a competitive market. An elegant facade and an impressive lobby immediately communicate the kind of company you are.
Visitors, talented candidates, investors, and partners get a clear message as soon as they step inside: this is a place worth taking seriously. It might sound bold, but the subconscious impact of a first impression influences everything that follows. Clients notice. Talents remember. The team stays.
Three Available Office Spaces – Or All Three in One
If you’ve been considering an upscale office space in Tallinn’s city center, Explorer’s modern, healthy interiors are worth a serious look.
Currently available:
If you’re interested, it’s worth acting quickly. Explorer is often fully leased by long‑term tenants, and available spaces come to the market only rarely.
Feel free to get in touch – we’re happy to answer your questions, think with you, and take you on a tour to breathe in the sea air from Explorer’s balcony.
