Case studies.
Named engagements from Jeremy's tenant advisory and ground lease work, with the clients' knowledge. Landowner sites stay unnamed by agreement.
Commercial occupiers.
Australian Sports Commission · 1,100 sqm, Melbourne
Facing expiry, the Commission wanted to know whether renewing or relocating was the better call. We ran a stay-vs-go analysis, kept the sitting landlord engaged while going to market, and negotiated across three properties in parallel.
The competitive tension produced a renewal plus expansion into the adjoining space, a material incentive on top of an already high-quality fitout, limited make-good, and the landlord covering the representation fee.
Funday Sweets · ~700 sqm, Melbourne
Funday Sweets needed a Melbourne headquarters that could double as a fully operational specialty kitchen — with the power, ventilation, plumbing and food-handling compliance to match — all within budget and on favourable lease terms.
We ran a structured site selection from brief to signed terms: detailed requirements gathered, suitable properties shortlisted, and lease terms negotiated that exceeded the client's original parameters, keeping the client informed transparently at every stage.
Result: a ~700 sqm HQ with a purpose-built specialty kitchen, on terms that significantly reduced costs versus original expectations — delivered with a smooth, low-stress process.
Protech · 700 sqm, Melbourne CBD
Protech grew its Melbourne headcount from 30 to 70 in months through acquisition, leaving several separate Victorian offices on different leases. The brief was one central headquarters, plus help disposing of what was left behind.
Briefs issued to the market, multiple proposals generated, several preferred options negotiated simultaneously. Result: a substantial incentive, no make-good at lease end, reduced rent for the first twelve months to cover the staged move, and the legacy leases disposed of.
Sterling · 1,100 sqm, Melbourne CBD
Six months from expiry, Sterling needed to decide between refitting its current premises or relocating. We surfaced value the business hadn't seen, including a sublease with four years remaining, and involved multiple business leaders in the shortlist.
Three to four options were negotiated at once before focusing hard on the preferred space. The result was a four-year sublease at 10% below asking, an 80% incentive package, two months' early access, the representation fee paid, and minimal make-good.
Sarah & Sebastian · retail, national
A national fashion retailer rolling out stores across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. New sites identified against the client's financial parameters and target demographic, with preferred terms negotiated across multiple retail landlords.
Make-good obligations were frequently waived outright as part of the terms.
Schindler Australia · warehouse and office, Melbourne
A global lift and escalator business needed to exit an office and warehouse lease and take the larger neighbouring space following a corporate restructure.
The surrender sum was negotiated below the remaining lease obligation, cost savings were secured through the negotiation, and the make-good liability was waived in full.
"Jeremy was more than just a broker; he was a trusted adviser the whole way through. He was open and honest at every step, which gave us real peace of mind. He saved us time, money, and stress."
Landowners with tower infrastructure.
Regional NSW landowner · single site
Original lease sat well below market after years of fixed escalation. Renegotiated with the carrier at expiry; rent lifted 87% on a ten-year renewal with a shorter escalation cycle.
WA rural landowner · single site
Prepayment on a standardised contract. Enquiry to written offer in four business days; exchanged and settled inside 45 days.
"Despite coming up against a tough landlord, they secured an exceptional deal, allowing us to renew our existing space and expand into the adjoining area. Their dedication and strategic approach made the process straightforward."
Every engagement above is real and named with the client's knowledge. Incentive percentages reflect the value of the incentive package against gross rent over the term. Where a figure is quoted below asking, it is measured against the landlord's opening position rather than against market retail rent.
If you'd like to speak with a past client as part of your diligence, we can arrange that case by case with their consent.
