Space Planning can help to right-size your space

A space planning exercise can help determine if you are using your space efficiently. Do sales reps that spend most of the time on the road have their own workstations? If the reps only spend a few days a month in the office, you may want to consider having them share a workstation. Shared workstations can also help the sales reps stay organized since they will need to be able to access their data regardless of their location. Many companies have removed cubicles and installed long, open tables like these. These tables take up less space, provide a cleaner design, and can increase employee communication.

Lease Negotiation Playbook

When you are in the position to walk away from a lease as an existing or potential tenant, you will always have the upper hand. Landlords will do quite a lot to avoid vacancies and starting early gives you enough time to negotiate with that specific leverage in your back pocket. During lease renewal negotiations many landlords will offer tenant improvement allowances, amongst other things, just to convince you to stay. We recommend starting looking for a new space at least a year prior to the expiration date of your current lease. This assures you have enough time to do your due diligence on everything from market analysis to your tenant-only representation.

How to Capitalize on your Tenant Improvement Allowance

When it comes to commercial lease renewals it can become a tricky game. Do I stay? Is it time to move?

How Artificial Intelligence Will Impact the Office Market

A lot has been written over the past few years about the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on different segments of our economy. Most of the attention recently has been focused on driverless cars and vehicles as Google and others have taken the once far-fetched Jetsons prediction and brought it to the verge of reality. The fact is, AI is making major strides in many other areas and is probably a generation away from replacing many of today’s jobs and professions. This raises a very interesting (and frightening) question for real estate owners: What happens to our office buildings when the white-collar workforce starts to disappear?
