Transaction Management

As the world’s largest occupier-focused commercial real estate advisory firm, Cresa is uniquely suited to act as your unbiased advocate on all transactions. Our experts manage the process from strategic planning through final negotiations, providing real estate solutions that support your business goals. As your advisor, we are relationship-oriented, not transaction-oriented. This means you receive the same level of service on small renewals as you will on a headquarters relocation or large-scale consolidation.



Experts in

Acquisitions and dispositions

Whether you are looking to lease or purchase space, or offload existing space through sublease or sale, we can assist. Once we understand the business drivers prompting the transaction, we work with you to develop and implement a strategy that supports your financial goals and long-term business objectives.

Site selection

We offer insight on location, proximity to talent, salary benchmarks and points of negotiation, helping you identify the optimal location for your new space.

Flexible office solutions

Whether you’re a Fortune 500 or fast-growing company, we have dedicated experts who will support your team in managing its flexible workspace strategy and show you only fully-vetted flexible office options.

Financial modeling

We help you understand how any lease transaction – or portfolio of leases – will impact your financial statement metrics. Such information is essential for compliance and for making better leasing decisions and identifying opportunities for cost savings.

Colocation, data centers and mission critical facilities

As technology continues to evolve, so does the need for the specialized real estate that accommodates the infrastructure that operates those systems. Our experts can help you identify the right solutions and fail-safe infrastructure to keep you up and running.

Workspace Solutions

Our experts understand how influential the right work environment can be and will work with you to develop a space that enhances productivity, innovation and culture. Whether optimizing your current workspace, creating a new design or exploring a hybrid workforce strategy, we’re committed to enhancing the way you work.

From strategy through implementation, we deliver custom real estate solutions that enhance every facet of your business.
