Occupier Strategy & Solutions
Independent, strategic advice helping occupiers make better-informed real estate decisions.
What is Occupier Strategy & Solutions?
Our team acts as an extension of our clients’ corporate real estate functions, providing independent, strategic advice and tailored property solutions that support their operational, financial and people requirements.
Our expertise spans the full occupier journey, from strategy and portfolio planning through to transactions, negotiation and delivery.
By understanding each client’s business objectives, we ensure their real estate strategy is aligned with the wider needs of the business.
Our approach is built around long-term partnerships, combining global expertise with local market knowledge to deliver practical, occupier-focused solutions.
The Right Solution
Better real estate decisions start with better information.
We take an occupier-centric approach to every requirement, starting with a thorough understanding of your business, people, property and operational needs.
Through detailed due diligence and market analysis, we assess the factors that influence each real estate decision, from cost and lease structure to location, accessibility, building performance, technical requirements and future flexibility.
This creates clear, quantifiable data against which options can be compared, risks identified and informed corporate real estate decisions made.
Whether the right solution is to stay, renew, regear, relocate, consolidate, acquire, dispose or develop, our role is to establish the most appropriate strategy before taking it to market.
How our approach benefits you:
Informed Decision-Making Clear, comparable data gives stakeholders a robust basis on which to evaluate property options and make confident decisions.
Cost & Value Optimisation We look beyond headline rental to understand the wider financial implications of each option and identify opportunities to reduce cost and improve value.
Risk Identification Our due diligence identifies commercial, technical, operational and location risks early, before they become costly problems.
People & Location Insights Employee location, accessibility, commute patterns and workplace requirements are considered alongside traditional property metrics.
Market Intelligence & Access Local market knowledge, property intelligence and relationships help identify suitable opportunities both on and off market.
Future Flexibility We consider not just what works today, but how each solution supports changing operational, workforce and property requirements over time.
