Driving success through better real estate strategy 

A real estate decision is about more than just a building—it’s about brand, people and operations. Our tenant representation experts look beyond the transaction to understand what matters most to our clients’ businesses—including where their customers are, how to attract and retain top talent and what location best supports their operations. We offer the insights to shape the strategy and the force to see it through, ensuring that our clients’ real estate is not just a footnote in their business plan, but a driving force behind their success. 

The potential of a business is only reached when their values, priorities and objectives are felt through their workplace experience in all their facilities.

We build relationships and provide services based on listening closely to your occupancy and workplace strategy goals.

We are committed to partnering with our clients as their real estate needs evolve to meet the demands of the future of work.

Market Intelligence to Align Supply Chain and Real Estate Strategy

Our experts will partner with you to identify and align your strategic business, financial and operational goals to create an integrated supply chain and real estate strategy—one that sets you up to exceed your business objectives.

Our approach offers you the ability to make data-driven decisions, based on real-time global and local market intelligence.

Physical Location Plays Critical Role in Brand Interaction, Whether Purchase is In-Store or Online

Whether your space needs are on a singular local-scale, national multi-market, or a cross-border global level, our Retail Tenant Representation experts help navigate the complexities of retail leasing—and guide you towards a long-term real estate strategy. We evaluate your current situation and future needs to make sure each location supports your marketing, operational and financial goals. Our approach encompasses market analytics, new market entry and expansion, customer analytics, and portfolio optimization.

Our retail experts combine data variables that align with store success factors with in-market analytics and best-in-class talent to navigate the complexities of retail leasing.

FAQs

Cushman & Wakefield’s Tenant Representation practice is a full-service real estate advisory that represents the tenant, or occupier, in the negotiation and execution of a lease, purchase or disposition of commercial space. Our critical market knowledge, comprehensive research, financial analysis and landlord relationships act in concert to find and execute the best deal for the tenant.

Our brokers leverage transaction expertise, local research and global insight to help our clients understand current real estate dynamics to make intelligent, well-informed decisions with their real estate. By evaluating the financial position of properties and landlords, we present options that suit the tenant’s needs, maximize leverage and minimize risk and cost.

While no two clients’ needs are identical, our approach to each transaction assignment (acquisition, disposition, relocation, renewal, etc.) shares the critical elements of early goal setting, thorough market research and due diligence, tenacious negotiations and attainment of measurable results. For workplace and other consulting services we develop alternative occupancy scenarios with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to evaluate real estate strategies.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Location Strategy & Labor Analytics professionals partner with brokers, account directors and transaction managers to identify optimal location strategy solutions — global, national and local — for our clients. Their expertise and experience uncover the inherent tradeoffs between access to the right kind of labor, cost efficiencies and the impact of competition for talent that location strategies present.

CRE executives are seeking solutions to better position their organizations for the new economic realities ahead. As a leading advisor to both occupiers and investors (landlords), Cushman & Wakefield’s leasing and account professionals can outline considerations for tenants in preparation for lease renegotiations
