services

A specialized service offering for industrial real estate occupiers and investors.

Renegotiate

The path of least resistance. This is what 80% of our clients ultimately decide on.

Renegotiate or Relocate

A question that has come up in your executive meetings, which leads to a discussion of the merits for each option.

An assessment of your current real estate needs, financial budgets, and market expectations, are among several factors to answering this question. We work together with our clients to clarify these questions, and develop a negotiation platform that creates market leverage. Despite market conditions, there is always an opportunity somewhere, and a story to support it.

Acquire

Your strategic objectives are going according to plan, and growth is on the horizon.

Lease or Purchase

When your company outgrows its current footprint, it’s time to assess the next stage of your real estate investment. The financial structure of leasing or purchasing will play an important role in this decision.

We cut through the noise, presenting the clear advantages of leasing versus buying, ensuring you make the most strategic choice. Also by utilizing an active property scanner and leveraging landlord relationships, we reveal new opportunities across the market. 

Dispose

An effective marketing strategy to divest your investment or leased property.

Sale or Sublease

Capitalizing on market conditions provides you the opportunity to shift equity from your real estate investment back into your company, or simply reduce your real estate exposure.

We use various techniques to market your property including listing on the Multiple Listings Services (MLS®), digital marketing campaigns, and use of our client management database to identify a wide net of buyer and sublease candidates.
