Complete Commercial Office Building Coverage

Damage to an office building can cause havoc to tenancy arrangements and even reduce rental income. Commercial office landlord insurance protects your property and minimises the financial impact of insured events.

  • Protects the building structure against insured damage such as fire, storm, or malicious acts
  • Provides landlord liability cover if injury or third-party damage occurs on the property
  • Supports rental income if the building becomes uninhabitable after an insured event
  • Helps manage repair costs and maintain the long-term value of the investment


How the Application Process Works

I have used CGIB as my insurer for over 10 years and they have always been very professional and reliable.
CGIB have facilitated insurance for our Owners Corp requirements for the last few years. Sarah has been professional, diligent, helpful and I highly recommend their services.
Wouldn't go anywhere else! We have been in the building industry for over forty years and have used other companies to handle our insurances and it was a nightmare. CGIB has been responsive, efficient and pleasure to do business with. They have handled our claims in a speedy manner and stayed on top of things, sending ME friendly reminders to help me stay on top of things. We have been with them for what could be over 15 years and highly recommend them.

What Commercial Office Insurance Covers?

Commercial office landlord insurance is a vital support should insured events affect the building, its structure, or the income it generates. It typically includes:

  • Fire, storm and malicious damage: Protection for the building structure and fixtures if damaged by fire, severe weather, or vandalism.
  • Water damage: Cover for damage caused by burst pipes or other sudden water-related incidents, depending on policy terms.
  • Glass breakage: Cover for external windows, office frontage, and fixed glass within the building.
  • Landlord liability: Protection if a visitor or third party is injured on the property, including legal defence and compensation costs.
  • Loss of rental income: Support if the property becomes uninhabitable due to an insured event and rent cannot be collected.
  • Accidental damage to the building: Cover for unexpected damage to structural elements of the property.

What Typically Isn’t Covered

Just like every policy, not everything is covered. Policies will exclude incidents outside the insured events listed in the terms. Tenant-owned equipment, stock, or business assets are also not covered, as the focus remains on the property itself.

Exclusions also include gradual deterioration such as wear and tear, rust, or mould, along with damage caused by poor maintenance or unresolved structural issues. Intentional or unlawful damage is not covered, as well as any events that fall outside the insured incidents listed in the policy.

What Influences Your Premium

Pricing for commercial office landlord insurance is generally determined by:

  • Replacement value
  • Location and exposure to risks such as storm or flood
  • Construction type and age of the building
  • Type of tenants and occupancy arrangements
  • Security features and risk management measures
  • Previous claims history

Payment arrangements can be structured to keep costs manageable throughout the year. At CLOI, our team provides clear guidance on these factors, helping you understand your options for the cover that fits your operational needs.
