So,
you are interested in expanding? — by
Mark Kolke
At Maxcomm we have the depth of experience
to help businesses expand their current requirements for
Calgary office space
through a professional approach and understanding of
commercial real estate in Calgary. How will my Leasing Agent
help
me make the wisest choice?
We have developed
a list of factors a tenant may want to consider when they
are considering an
expansion of their
Calgary office
space needs. When we meet with a prospective client we
endeavor to garner understanding of the client’s business,
perceptions of needs, wants, requirements and ‘required
biases’ which
will factor into the equation. From that experience,
we try to determine from our client, the answers to these
questions:
-
How far can you accurately project
future growth?
-
Do your lease terms correlate to your 3-5
year business plan?
-
What are your annual headcount projections?
-
Where are you in your business cycle?
-
What
is your ideal situation, and configuration?
-
What is your
ideal situation, and configuration?
-
What type of image do
you need? Have you done any space planning?
-
How important
are factors like parking, Central Business District / Suburban
location ?
We find
it invaluable to discuss with our clients their views,
experiences and level
of preparedness
for: Lease
Negotiation, Facility Planning,
Construction, Technology
Planning,
Flex Space, Open Plan
vis-à-vis
Office Intensive, Sub-lease
vs. Head Lease, Net rent,
Triple Net,
Gross Rent,
Services, Location Preferences,
+15 Connections, etc.
Experience
has taught us a holistic
approach to fact
finding
with
clients assists us
to best address their
commercial real
estate issues. For a leasing
agent to effectively facilitate
a process
with a client we find
the most important
ingredient is a high level
of trust and confidence.
While market
knowledge, transaction
skills, negotiating ability are important
too,
experience has shown clients
prefer
to do business with an
agent they know and
trust who understands
them, and
understands
their needs and which commercial
real estate solutions are
best for them.
