Tenant Representation

Our Approach

In our experience, a typical tenant representation project requires an iterative five phase process.  We will explore with a project kickoff meeting, space search and option refinement.  We will coordinate proposals, evaluate total project costs for each space and prepare recommendations.  Following guidance from the tenant, we will negotiate comprehensive letter of intent and eventually work with your legal team to negotiate the lease.  As the lease is being negotiated, we can also lead the design/bid process, negotiate construction contracts, oversee the schedule, and manage the project budget during the build phase to ensure the transition to your new space is seamless.

Our Approach
Our Clients

Our Clients

We have worked with many non-profit and small business clients and have deep expertise overseeing projects with collaborative teams of visionary leaders who use consensus-based decision making processes.  Many of our clients are new to real estate development; we work to make sure that our clients have the information needed to make informed decisions, and center our clients’ stated values and goals in our recommendations.
