TENANT REPRESENTATION PROCESS

We follow a disciplined, precise process to manage the entire tenant representation project. Essentially, there are three primary phases – collection of data, development of the strategic real estate plan, and plan implementation.


PHASE ONE: COLLECTION OF DATA

The initial phase involves a meeting, or series of meetings, with the client’s senior management and facilities team to review and evaluate needs for both the short and long term. This primary information is then supplemented with pertinent data from the Colliers Tenant Representation Team and Market Research Team. Our strong presence in the market allows us to easily obtain additional market information that will affect the client’s real estate decisions.

Primary Data

PHASE TWO: DEVELOPMENT OF REAL ESTATE PLAN

The planning phase involves a careful examination of all the issues that could affect the client’s real estate decision. After careful analysis, Colliers develops a strategic real estate plan that includes a situation analysis featuring property criteria, economic projections, and a well-defined list of project objectives and strategies. The plan also lists project tactics that incorporate identification of a project team and a recommended timetable.

Analyze Data & Develop Situation Analysis

Develop Real Estate Objectives
• Quantitative (Analyses of amounts and proportions)
• Qualitative (Comparison based on qualities)

Develop Real Estate Strategies & Tactics
• Project criteria
• Project timeline
• Project team (Engineer, Architect, Contractor, & Broker)
• Budget
• Financing


PHASE THREE: PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

Identification of Property Options. Based on the plan’s specific criteria and objectives, we work with our research team to survey and identify appropriate property options. From those results, we use our knowledge of the market to narrow the list by comparison to our objectives and criteria, then develop a final description of options for presentation to the client.

Qualifying Property Options. After a final list of choices is confirmed, Colliers will create a Request for Proposal, giving the selected properties a format for responding to economic, business and legal questions.

When the RFPs are returned, we prepare a tenant lease analysis including technical property data, a financial analysis, property information checklists and, most importantly, a subjective comparison of the selected properties. Colliers then assists the client in identifying the most suitable property.

Lease Negotiations. For many clients, the most intimidating aspect of the process is the negotiation of a lease. Colliers will guide the client through establishment of terms and conditions of an offer to lease, negotiate the lease with tenant’s legal counsel, and see it through to final signatures.
