How Cresa Helps Companies Find the Optimal Office Space (part 2)

In my role at Cresa, I bring a team with extensive expertise and resources to help your company achieve your goals.  We think beyond space to get occupiers the best results and enhance quality of life for our clients and their employees.  The Cresa advantage is that when I work for you as a tenant broker, I represent your interests 100% of the time.

Last week, we went in depth into some services that our Cresa team offers if you are thinking about expanding, downsizing, or reconfiguring your current office space.  Your company may also be nearing the end of your lease.  We talked about our Intelligent workplace planning, exploring economic incentives in the marketplace, and evaluating where your optimal market is located. 

For this week’s blog, I will talk about other services that we bring to your company to help you find your optimal office space.  We will go in depth about our project management, lease administration, and office network (flex space) planning services Cresa offers.  If I can provide you further information on any of these, or other services that Cresa offers your company, please consider starting a conversation with me – www.tenant-broker.com


Project Management – Every New Space Creates a New Possibility

Whether the renovation to an existing building or ground-up new construction, our Project Management team is dedicated to exceeding your highest expectations. We’ve partnered with companies in different industries from around the globe to create new spaces that support an array of diverse business strategies.

Planning

We’ll work to develop your program, review the options, explore and plan workplace strategies and develop schemes that support your business objectives.

Lease Negotiation

In establishing the best possible terms for your new space, we’ll collaborate with our advisors to prepare a lease abstract and assist in negotiations, then finalize the project budget and schedule.

Design

We work in collaborative teams, bringing the right people together for your project and finessing the budget and schedule as design documents are completed.

Construction

Coordinating with construction managers to ensure all necessary municipal approvals are met, we’ll oversee the execution of your design and the delivery of all furniture needs, respective to the program, audio visual and IT requirements.

Move

We’ll plan and execute the logistics of your office move to minimize any disruptions to your day-to-day business activities. In closing out the project, we’ll bring the site and all documentation to their finished state.

In 2019, we managed over $3.5 billion of construction work.  Even the most meticulous planning means nothing if the execution falls short.  The orchestration of the design, construction and move process is where we SHINE!



Lease Administration

Leases Should be Overseen, Not Overlooked.  We’ll Give Your Portfolio the Attention it Deserves.

Our fully dedicated, tenured Lease Administration experts are committed to serving your needs in the following areas:

Critical date management services

We provide the backbone for the strategic planning and risk management of critical dates with dedicated account resources that will provide accurate abstracting, monitoring and reporting for your portfolio.

Full lease administration services

We become an additional level of support by providing monthly rent schedules for the lease payments. This service includes invoice reviews, desktop audits and occupier billbacks/ collections for subtenants. We ensure landlord and occupier compliance which results in more robust reporting. 

Lease compliance audits

We perform labor-intensive desktop audits for cash recovery and cost avoidance. Experience shows that over 30% of our desktop audits of operating expense reconciliations uncover savings for our clients due to errors in landlord billing. We’ve helped our clients save millions of dollars annually.

Project work

Our extensive experience results in our ability to provide support in large abstracting projects, mergers and acquisitions and other consulting and specialty projects. These processes are software-neutral and maintain complete control of your leases going forward.

We can build on your current systems, provide you with one of our licenses or help you select your own. Each lease has its own set of complex documents with their own set of terms, conditions and timetables written in — keeping track of these details can be challenging if your portfolio isn’t organized. When you turn your administration over to us, we assure your lease database is meticulously planned and carefully monitored.

We provide data integrity.  Leases are an important component of your corporate financial statements and disclosers.  Our advisors stress follow-though.  With our dedicated resources, we act as an extension of your team.  We’re committed to seeing you get the information you need in a timely manner.



Office Network (Flex-Space)

Finding the right flexible workplace can be a challenge.  With over 20 years and thousands of global transactions, we can help.


Extension of Your Team

After consulting with you on your flexible office strategy, we’ll assign three consultants to manage the flexible office portfolio for your CRE team - for free. Flexspace is our thing, and there’s no interference with your traditional office lease broker. Our team will use their industry expertise to match your requirement with a selection of potential flexible providers and guide you through the entire process, from initial viewing to contract signing.

The FITspace Solution

As well as matching companies with existing flexspaces, we invented the FITspace model to meet the needs of our enterprise clients who require a completely customizable flexible workspace solution. Because we are always on your side of the transaction, we’ll source your FITspace Enterprise solution to the best providers in the market. We won’t ever be your landlord.

We have 20+ years of industry experience and no one knows the market better than we do.  We bring 100% occupier representation.  We are the ONLY global tenant rep agency focused SOLELY on the flexible office market.  We have completed 3.5K transactions in 125+ countries, and in the past 18 months, our team has managed over 3,000 transactions worldwide.

Let’s start a conversation

If your business is expanding, contracting or close to lease expiration, now is the time to contact us to find the perfect space for your business. We create a strategy to first look at your business operations and current space and then craft up a plan to find something that is a great fit in the area.  With the current vacancies and inventory, we will work with you to get the best deal.  We represent tenants ONLY, so you can feel comfortable that we are working for your business 100%.  If we can help you by being your tenant broker in the DC, Maryland, or Northern Virginia area, visit my website or call me at 301-841-6542.  Make sure to follow all my social efforts by clicking on the links below.
