Showcase Offices, Retail Units, Studios & Hospitality Venues Remotely
Commercial clients need to understand a space quickly: layout, size, flow, condition, access, lighting, facilities, and how the space could work for their business. Matterport 3D tours make this process easier by turning offices, retail units, studios, showrooms, restaurants, and hospitality venues into immersive digital twins that can be explored online from anywhere.
Instead of relying only on photos, floor plans, or repeated site visits, potential tenants, investors, operators, and stakeholders can walk through the space virtually, assess key details, take measurements, and shortlist with more confidence before arranging an in-person viewing.
Why Matterport Works for Commercial Property
Commercial decisions often involve several people: business owners, investors, landlords, architects, designers, fit-out contractors, operations teams, and sometimes remote decision-makers. A Matterport tour gives everyone access to the same clear, interactive view of the property.
This is especially useful in London, where travel time, scheduling, and availability can slow down the decision process. A digital twin allows the space to be reviewed repeatedly, shared easily, and understood more accurately before the next step.
Matterport is widely used in commercial real estate because it helps connect tenants with properties remotely. For example, Savills has used Matterport to show commercial properties more efficiently and give potential occupiers a stronger remote viewing experience.
Key Benefits for Commercial Spaces
• Office & Workspace Marketing: Present offices, coworking spaces, and studios with clear layouts, meeting rooms, breakout areas, facilities, and natural flow.
• Retail & Showroom Presentation: Help tenants and brands assess shopfronts, floor space, display areas, customer routes, storage, and layout potential.
• Hospitality Venues: Showcase restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels, and event spaces with a realistic sense of atmosphere, scale, seating, and guest experience.
• Remote Decision-Making: Let landlords, investors, directors, contractors, and clients review the same space without needing multiple physical visits.
• Virtual Measurements: Matterport digital twins allow users to inspect dimensions and spatial details, supporting planning, fit-out, furnishing, and design decisions.
• Professional Digital Experience: Add a premium, interactive asset to listings, websites, presentations, leasing campaigns, and investor materials.
How It Saves Time
A commercial viewing can take much longer than a residential one. Agents and landlords often need to coordinate several people, arrange access, travel across London, answer layout questions, and sometimes repeat the same viewing for different stakeholders.
A Matterport tour helps reduce this by allowing potential clients to pre-check the space online first.
A realistic example:
Average commercial viewing time including travel and follow-up: 1.5–2 hours
Typical early-stage viewings before serious interest: 5–10 viewings
If a 3D tour reduces unnecessary visits by only 30%, that can save:
3–6 hours per commercial listing
For busy agents, landlords, or property managers, this is valuable time that can be used for negotiations, new instructions, client communication, or closing deals.
ROI Example
Assume the Matterport 3D tour costs £150.
Average agent or manager time cost: £40/hour
Time saved by avoiding 4 unnecessary viewing hours: 4 hours
Value of saved time: 4 × £40 = £160
Matterport tour cost: £150
Estimated time saving value: £160
In this example, the tour already pays for itself through saved time alone. The real ROI becomes stronger when the tour also helps attract a better tenant, impress a landlord, support a leasing presentation, or move a serious client faster toward a decision.
For commercial spaces with higher rental values, even one better-qualified enquiry or one faster deal can be worth far more than the cost of creating the tour.
Stronger Presentation for Leasing & Marketing
Matterport tours are not just useful for viewings. They also improve how a commercial space is presented across digital channels. Matterport reports that listings with 3D tours can receive stronger engagement than listings using photos alone, with some Matterport real estate materials citing significantly higher interaction and lead quality.
For commercial spaces, the biggest practical advantage is clarity. A potential tenant can understand how the space feels, whether the layout works, where key areas are located, and whether it is worth arranging a visit.
That means fewer vague enquiries and more informed conversations.
