Tenant Representation
Today, more than ever navigating the commercial office and industrial space market is an on-going challenge in a highly competitive and volatile economy.
The logic behind our representation is that in order to reach an equitable solution to a particular need (leasing office space), the corporate tenant needs access to market information, transaction expertise and negotiation skills equal to that of the landlord who utilizes professional representation.
Whether you need to negotiate a single lease or multiple lease transactions for branch offices around the globe. The objective of controlling occupancy costs, maximizing productivity, employee recruitment and customer perception, will demand, expert market knowledge, creative and highly sophisticated solutions and a real estate advisor to execute the transactions that meet your corporate objectives. Decision making with respect to renew your lease or relocate, expand, downsize or consolidate corporate offices as well as how to optimize lease structures is increasingly complex in today’s business environment.
During his 20 year career, Mr. Davidson has assisted many major corporations, institutions and professional practices with their office space requirements throughout greater Houston and other U.S. Markets including Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Miami.
Colliers International’s successful methodology to provide clients with strategic real estate services can be broadly divided into three phases:
- Situation Analysis
- Option Development
- Project Implementation
SITUATION ANALYSIS
The Situation Analysis Phase is intended to allow our clients to understand the local market conditions and opportunities, including:
- Space availabilities, both current and upcoming of direct and sublease space;
- Projected pricing and concession packages of direct and sublease opportunities; and
- Existing and projected market conditions including alternatives such as build to suit and purchase options, etc.
During Phase 1, Colliers works with our clients and appropriate third party space planning consultants to determine ideal space requirements and efficient space utilization. Colliers also performs an in depth market analysis to identify any and all opportunities that could potentially meet the client’s requirements from a financial, operational, and qualitative perspective, including your current location. Specifically, Colliers will:
- Establish the overall direction of market trends as they relate to your space requirement;
- Identify specific properties that could potentially meet your long term requirement and review each alternative relative to suitability of timing, operation efficiency, qualitative factors, and lease economics; and
- Examine variables which could impact general market conditions, including new development, foreclosures, upcoming relocations, etc.
