PUTTING MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS

​

Lease Audit

Our client, with numerous office leases across Canada, had not audited any of their leases for several years. They felt that considerable overbillings could have been recovered from their landlords to generate significant savings.

DISTRIBUTION CENTRE IN MONTREAL, QC CANADA

New Development

Our client owns and occupies a 240,000 sqft Canadian Head Office and distribution centre and requires an additional 150,000 sqft. Since the property is not expandable due to lack of excess land,  relocation became the only viable alternative.

LEASE RENEGOTIATION LEADS TO COST REDUCTION

Transaction Management

Our client was occupying 17,600 square feet at an annual occupancy cost of approximately $190,000. The business environment changed since the initial lease was signed in 2013 and the client determined that only half the space was required for the current business.

OPERATING EXPENSE RECOVERY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Legal & Consulting Services

Our client’s retail operation was facing three challenges that, individually and combined, threatened the continued operation of the business as well as involving overcharges of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

DISTRIBUTION CENTRE IN EDMONTON, AB CANADA

Lease Renewal

Our client occupies a 115,000-sqft dilapidated building with mold infestation in the front envelope along the office space. Relocation was not an alternative for various business reasons.

​

OUTSOURCING FOR EFFICIENCY

​

Lease Administration

Our client experienced growth in real estate due to acquisitions.  High turnover in their real estate department over a 12-month period left them exposed to many vulnerable situations that required immediate action.

​

NAVIGATION OF THE MUNICIPAL MINEFIELD

Market Intelligence

Our client’s tenancy at a location in a very tight and desirable market was threatened when they were unable to secure a valid business licence and found out that, in fact, the zoning did not permit their use at this location at all.
