Most cities in the U.S. are not as expensive as New York or San
Francisco.  Even for New York or San Francisco, moving away from the
prime locations just a short distance can dramatically lower prices.

High-end office space runs $20 USD to $40 USD or more per square foot
per month, depending on the city, location, and building quality or
features.  This varies widely throughout the U.S. and even within the
cities.

So, you can figure you'll pay at least $10 USD/sq-ft/mo for basic
office space in most larger U.S. cities, and most likely much more than
that.  $10/sq-ft/mo would be about $107.7/sqm/mo.

While that arbitrary $10 rate seems very reasonable to me, Arizona is
not an expensive state.  That rate might actually be a rather high rate
given the city of Phoenix, Arizona or location within it.  Land costs
in Arizona are just 10% (1/10th) of those in New York state.  And, New
York state land costs are substantially lower than New York city land
costs.

Arizona state ranks quite low on per capita income at 39th (i.e.,
relatively poor state as compared to most of the U.S.).  City of
Phoenix's per capita income is only 60% of the state level (i.e., even
poorer).  The per capita in their suburbs is probably higher than
the state level.  Poverty in Arizona is high, around 17%. Poverty in
Phoenix is very high, around 22%.  Our national average is %13.5. Small
towns in the U.S. which are very rural and extremely poor are around
23%.  So, you have the largest city in the state with a poverty level
comparable to a small town 1/200th of the size.  Arizona is basically
known as a state where people live when retired, i.e., for the
temperature and weather.

Since landlords usually charge double what one would expect to pay, my
guess is that rate is expensive for the area.  If you want to know
their local prices, you need to find a realtor that handles commercial
real estate for the local area.
