This summary may include: SFO review; building quality, efficiency, and security analysis; comparison of program requirements to test fit; financial analysis and occupancy cost projections based on lease obligations.

Lease Administration

Vacant Premises Services

To assist in occupancy cost reductions for tenants of buildings, we verify vacant square footage and analyze the data to identify potential operating cost savings or reduction of rent. We also identify unused space which can be marketed for sublease.

Operating Cost Analysis

As operating costs change, our team computes Operating Cost adjustments (CPI adjustments) in accordance with the terms and conditions of each lease to ensure that costs are correct and all proper documentation has been received. Our analysts compute the tax increases/decreases within each lease to ensure that proper documentation (paid tax bill) has been received.
