Can I reduce my occupancy cost?
In this competitive market there are many
strategies we use to ensure you are receiving reduced occupancy
costs when available, regardless of your lease expiration. We can
provide benchmarking studies and compare occupancy costs of one user
to the next ensuring your business objectives are in line with your
real estate assets.
When is the right time to evaluate my lease
obligations?
A lease can be renewed at nearly any point
during its term. We've negotiated numerous renewals, contractions,
dispositions, expansions, all having more than two years left on the
remaining lease term. A minimum of 9 to 12 months is ideal to
leverage all potential options and to optimize value on an expansion
or contraction.
What are the financial impacts of my real
estate decision?
Understanding how real estate decisions
affect your balance sheet is a critical component of our service. Real
estate costs are typically ranked second or third on a company's
income statement - no matter how big or small the business. Reducing
costs are crucial in a competitive market and real estate costs are
no exception.
What other issues do I need to consider?
Your real estate objectives should be
closely in line with your company's business and growth
expectations. Taking time to evaluate this makes each real estate
decision more cost effective. No client is alike in their
priorities, whether they be location, image, access, parking,
amenities or demographics. Make sure your company is aware of
theirs.
What concessions are available?
A skilled real estate consultant can maximize all
available concessions. They are better today than they have
been in a decade. Free rent, moving allowances, upgraded
improvements, and tax incentives all may be negotiated to provide
you with the best lease possible.
Why do I need a real estate consultant?
Effective real estate decisions add value
to your corporation. In a time where cost savings can mean
endurance, trusting a real estate professional to represent your
interests is an invaluable tool, a service which is paid for by the
Landlord.
