client objectives and results
See more success storiesClient Objectives
- Engaged Cresa to explore renewing in Kendall Square versus relocating to Boston
- Focused on Boston submarkets, given record setting rents in Kendall
- Desired proximity to public transit, diverse amenities and building character to reflect business values
Results
- Leveraged ARC’s desirable tenancy, competing with organic demand and an influx of blue chip technology tenants
- Orchestrated a process to ensure maximum leverage, with an option to renew at ARC’s disposal
- Secured a long-term base for ARC in Boston’s Back Bay and a new facility that allows the firm to reflect its brand and culture
- Negotiated early termination with former landlord which yielded additional 4 months of free rent (leveraged Google’s demand for space)
