If it were me, I’d want wood floors to warm up the space

IMO in space where everyone weras shoes a nice LVP maybe wood look

What kind of office/business is this? I assume you will have a few tables in there? You are asking for flooring suggestions, right? What‘s wrong with what’s there now? It doesn’t look great but by the time you get tables,chairs in there will anyone notice or care? Just based upon my personal experience working in offices with kitchens & break rooms I really never paid much attention to the decor.

Its not hard to find concrete looking porcelain tile and its also very durable. 12 x 24 inch tile with narrow grout lines is a nice look.

It is a manufacturing business but this is an Executive Area kitchen/break area. Place to grab coffee on typical days for leadership/support employees but off a conference room to use for visitors/customers. No tables planned.

Are you opposed to wood floors? As others have suggested, it may better to warm up the space.

I was trying to stay with a concrete/industrial look to keep it neutral. We have different wood tones throughout other areas (older building that hasn’t been updated in many years) and I am not sure if those will be changed and to what tone.

If I consider wood for this area, what is the right color/tone?

If you want it to look a bit more finished, how about Marmoleum. So many options.

Then LVP that looks like concrete .

I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but firms like consistency in decision making, so if your firm has environmental priorities, go with something sustainable and recyclable. If the firm values local investment, see if there is a flooring manufacturer in your state that you can work with. If you manufacture a type of material, perhaps try to use a flooring that incorporates your product.

All other things being equal, look for the best fit aesthetically. What flooring can you use that requires no transition in level from the entryway? I’d say your top contenders are marmoleum, engineered wood or possibly cork.

By the way, you can pour new concrete over existing concrete (it’s called an overlay) to get the polished look you were originally going for.

Maybe a polishable self leveler with aggregate like this:
