Scope of services
Renew, relocate, expand or acquire
An honest comparison of staying, moving and buying, including the cost and disruption of each.

Site selection
A market survey of on-market and, where available, off-market options in your submarket, with tours.
Total occupancy cost
Rent, operating expenses, improvement costs, free rent and escalations modeled over the term so proposals are compared on what you will actually pay.

Negotiation of rent, free rent, improvement allowances, delivery conditions and expansion rights.
Renewal, termination and flexibility
Options to renew, expand, contract, assign or sublease, negotiated up front.
Coordination through occupancy

How an assignment runs
- 1
Requirements
Operational needs, budget, timing and growth plans documented in a search brief.
- 2
Market survey
A targeted survey of the available and off-market options that meet the brief, drawn from listing services, landlord relationships and direct canvassing, with total occupancy cost modeled for each option.
- 3
Tours
Shortlisted properties toured with your decision makers.
- 4
Proposal comparison
Proposals requested from the finalists and compared on effective cost, flexibility and delivery.
- 5
Negotiation
Business terms negotiated and documented in a letter of intent, then coordinated with your counsel through the lease.
- 6
Delivery
Buildout milestones, delivery condition and commencement coordinated through move-in.
Timing
How long the process takes depends on the market, the size of the requirement and how much buildout the space needs. A renewal in place can be concluded in weeks; a relocation with construction can take a year or more from search to move-in. We map the timeline backwards from your lease expiration or operational deadline so decisions are made with time to spare, rather than under pressure.
