Commercial Real Estate Advisory That Actually Protects Your Interests

We advise tenants through site selection, lease strategy, buildout planning, and long-term occupancy decisions — without landlord representation or sales pressure.

Tenant Representation

Site Selection & Market Evaluation

Site Selection & Market Evaluation

What it means:

We analyze markets, submarkets, zoning, access, demographics, and competition to identify locations that align with your operational and growth objectives.

Why it matters:

Avoids reactive site decisions and misaligned locations that limit performance long-term.

Lease Strategy & Negotiation

Lease Strategy & Negotiation

What it means:

We develop a negotiation strategy before engaging landlords — covering economics, term structure, concessions, renewal options, and exit flexibility.

Why it matters:

Leases are long-term liabilities. Strategy reduces risk before terms are finalized.

Buildout & Space Planning Advisory

What it means:

We coordinate real estate decisions with space efficiency, buildout costs, and operational workflows — before design or construction begins.

Why it matters:

Prevents overbuilding, underutilization, and costly post-lease adjustments.

Expansion & Portfolio Strategy

Expansion & Portfolio Strategy

What it means:

For growing operators, we advise on multi-location planning, timing, clustering, and portfolio optimization.

Why it matters:

Growth without strategy creates operational drag and capital inefficiency.

Occupancy & Long-Term Planning

Occupancy & Long-Term Planning

What it means:

We help clients plan renewals, relocations, consolidations, or exits — aligned with business evolution, not just lease expiration dates.

Why it matters:

Real estate should support the business over time, not dictate it.

Dental Advisory

Dental & Healthcare Advisory

Dental & Healthcare Advisory

What it means:

We advise healthcare and dental operators on real estate decisions that account for clinical workflows, regulatory requirements, patient access, and long-term operational efficiency.

Why it matters:

Healthcare locations carry higher risk and higher cost of error. Real estate decisions must support compliance, patient experience, and practice longevity — not just lease economics.

Flex Advisory

Flex & Service Business Advisory

Flex & Service Business Advisory

What it means:

We advise operators considering flexible, short-term, or hybrid occupancy models — including flex office, medical flex, and transitional locations aligned with growth or testing strategies.

Why it matters:

Flexible space decisions often trade speed for long-term risk. Strategic advisory ensures flexibility doesn’t compromise scalability, cost control, or future optionality.

Lease Negotiations

Strategy Before Terms

Strategy Before Terms

What it means:

We define a negotiation strategy before engaging landlords — aligned with business risk, flexibility, and long-term objectives, not just headline economics.

Why it matters:

Negotiation without strategy locks tenants into long-term liabilities before risk is understood.

Economics, Structure & Leverage

Economics, Structure & Leverage

What it means:

We evaluate rent, concessions, escalations, term length, renewal rights, and exit options as a complete economic structure — not isolated deal points.

Why it matters:

Focusing only on rent often hides long-term cost and operational constraints.

Risk & Optionality Protection

What it means:

We advise on provisions that protect future optionality — including termination rights, expansion options, use clauses, and renewal flexibility.

Why it matters:

Leases should support business evolution, not restrict it.

Buyer Representation

Acquisition Advisory (Not Brokerage)

Acquisition Advisory (Not Brokerage)

What it means:

We represent owner-occupiers and strategic buyers in property acquisitions, advising on pricing, structure, risk, and long-term operational fit — not speculative investment.

Why it matters:

Buying the wrong asset locks capital and limits operational flexibility for years.

Due Diligence & Risk Alignment

Due Diligence & Risk Alignment

What it means:

We coordinate acquisition decisions with zoning, use, access, future expansion potential, and exit scenarios — before contracts are finalized.

Why it matters:

Most acquisition risk is structural, not financial — and often overlooked.

Long-Term Ownership Strategy

What it means:

We advise on ownership decisions in the context of long-term occupancy, capital deployment, and business lifecycle planning.

Why it matters:

Ownership should serve the business — not become a constraint.
