The Office Advisor

Steps to Lease

The Office Advisor is a One-Stop-Shop solution to all of your workplace occupancy needs.

  • Define your requirements: Our Workplace Strategists will help you with identifying your needs, including the desired location, size, budget, and specific amenities or features you require in an office space.

  • Property search: Your broker will provide you with a bespoke survey of potential office spaces that meet your criteria. You’ll visit these spaces to assess their suitability and narrow down your options. With The Office Advisor, you will have access to proprietary video walkthroughs of buildings and spaces – saving you time and effort when narrowing down your search.

  • Submit a letter of intent (LOI): Upon identifying a shortlist of spaces, you’ll work with your broker to submit a letter of intent to the landlord. The LOI outlines your intention to lease the space and includes proposed lease terms, such as lease duration, rent, and any requested concessions.

  • Financial Analysis: Our Financial Consultants will provide comprehensive analyses so you can understand the full financial implications with each scenario.

  • Lease negotiation: Along with your attorney, your broker will negotiate on your behalf to secure favorable lease terms, including rent, lease duration, options for renewal or expansion, and any tenant improvements or other obligations.

  • Fit-out and occupancy: Prior to move-in, you may need to coordinate with the landlord to perform any desired tenant improvements or fit-outs. Our Project Managers will help ensures the space is ready for your occupancy, including necessary permits and installations.

  • Commencement of lease: On the agreed-upon lease start date, you’ll officially take possession of the space, begin paying rent, and operationalize your business in the new office.
