How did it get to be May already?  Are we the only ones still trying to remember to write 2009 instead of 2008?  May is a great time to reevaluate your office space.  Just as we put away our winter clothes and exchange them for our summer frocks, companies need to periodically evaluate how their office space is working for them.  We know, we know, we can already hear you, "but we're locked in our lease for another three years - what can you do to help us even if we do feel that change is necessary?" 

 

Sometimes people are locked in and there is no way around that.  However, prior to a complete lease review, there is no way to know that for sure.  We are currently helping companies who are sub-leasing part or all of their space in an effort to more closely align their needs with reality.  On the other hand, should your company be growing and in need of additional space this is a fantastic time to approach your landlord about a "blend and extend."  That's where you expand and/or extend your lease and get a reduction of your rental rate.  Landlords are hungry right now and it's a tenant market.  Please contact our office for a complete lease review free of charge.  We're happy to do this for any of your referrals as well.
