Creating Value Every Step of the Way

Optimizing Your Real Estate
Through a Comprehensive Suite of Services

Marketing and Leasing Programs

A customized marketing process is utilized to position the asset as the superior choice in that market to attract and retain the right tenants.

The objective is to  help landlord clients achieve full, long-term occupancy, a creditworthy tenant base, and maximum rental rates in an effort to enhance investment value.

Investment Analysis

Strategic investment analysis is critical in order to gain more control over fluctuation in property value resulting from expirations and tenant issues.

Minimizing risk requires strategically staggering expirations so that not all leases will roll over at the same time, as well as rigorous review of tenants’ credit and ability to contribute to asset value.

Corporate Real Estate Solutions

Comprehensive strategic planning addresses operating and financial considerations to develop the optimum real estate solution aligned with the client’s business objectives.

Occupancy strategies are designed to minimize costs, maximize value, and optimize the financial, accounting, and tax implications associated with complex real estate transactions.

A results-oriented approach
