plano: Top Tips for Negotiating Commercial Leases - #2 Decide What You Want - 01/20/11 03:44 AM
Decide What You Want? Now I know this sounds crazy, but trust me, it can be much harder than you think. Especially if you have multiple decision markers. But it's a crucial second step. Since occupancy costs are typically the second-highest expense for most companies, you can't afford to get it wrong. Commercial lease terms average five years so they are a fixed cost that aren't easily changed during that term.
So what do I mean by deciding what you want and how do you do that? First and foremost, identify the company's goals and objectives. For example, does the company … (3 comments)

plano: Foreclosures good for tenants? - 06/11/10 02:03 AM
How can foreclosures be good for anyone? Surprisingly though, foreclosures create an opportunity for tenants. I wrote an article about it that was published in today's Dallas Business Journal - http://dallas.bizjournals.com/dallas/stories/2010/06/14/smallb3.html.

plano: DFW Office Leasing Still Strong Relative to US - 02/02/10 07:28 AM

DFW office leasing is doing much better than other US cities. But even within the DFW area, there are winner and loser submarkets. Northern suburbs like Plano and Frisco will always do better because they are close to where people want to live.  The key is to have this information when negotiating a new lease or renewal.  That is the kind of information that a corporate real estate advisor (tenant rep broker) follows and will use to effectively negotiate on behalf of companies.

plano: French Company Lands in Texas - 01/24/10 06:28 AM
 

One of our clients is a French software engineering company that just opened an office in Plano, Texas - a suburb of Dallas.  We negotiated a sublease for them and were able to get full use of all furniture, cubes, phones, computers, copiers and even the server room equipment, all while also getting a huge discount off the market rental rate for the building.  Take a look at the article at the following link - http://www.ccbusinesspress.com/display.php?id=3936.

plano: 2009 Office Demand Falls Sharply from 2008 - 01/13/10 09:32 AM
 
A report from Cushman & Wakefield reported that DFW office occupancy fell by 2 million square feet in 2009 and total leasing activity was down 43 percent.  Not surprising given the current economic situation, I know.
But like in most cities, there are winners and losers within the greater metropolitan area.  Buildings along LBJ Freeway and downtown Dallas were hit hard with lots of tenants moving elsewhere or just closing their doors.  The big winners were Plano and Frisco because those submarkets are close to where people live.
Quoted rental rates didn't change much though.  This seems odd when demand … (0 comments)
