Abstract
This study examines determinants of the downtown/non‐downtown location choice for general purpose rental office users. It presents a model of location choice which accounts for linkages, personnel commuting costs and location of market centroid. It fits the model to survey data on office space usage, distinguishing between market oriented and non‐market oriented firms.The study finds that market oriented firms are primarily sensitive to market location, while non‐market oriented firms are more sensitive to linkages and personnel commuting costs. It also finds that linkages play a limited role in the location decisions even for non‐market oriented offices because, in the medium size cities studied, few firms are linkage intensive.
