Commercial leases work harder when the advisor works only for you.

How we're different

No conflicts. No compromises.

01

No landlord representation.

We act exclusively for occupiers and telco tower leaseholders. No competing loyalties, which means we push harder in every negotiation.

02

Property neutral.

We manage no leasing portfolio, so we're agnostic about where you land. On-market, off-market and sublease options all get put on the table.

03

Forty levers, not one.

Incentives, escalation, term, options, assignment, redevelopment, make-good, holding-over and exit rights each get negotiated on their own merits, backed by market data.

Which is why we can tell you to stay put.
What we actually do

Across the life of a lease.

1

Lease Review

Every lease abstracted to surface risks, obligations and opportunities before any strategy gets written.

2

Lease Strategy

We ask what actually constrains you — headcount, capex, timing — then build the strategy around that.

3

Lease Negotiation

Forty lease points negotiated, backed by market data that creates leverage rather than hoping for goodwill.

4

Lease Renewal

Where possible we avoid exercising the option and negotiate full market terms instead.

5

Make Good & Exit

Make good is a negotiation, not a formality. Obligations clarified early, exposure reduced at the end of term.
