Stay on top of the constant evolution of the flex landscape
We ensure clients stay current on the continuously evolving flex landscape and leverage the best portfolio solutions.
- Flex and Core Strategy: We help clients de-risk an office move or relocation, offering a range of flexible working options. For occupiers exploring large new office leases, we de-risk a relocation by bringing in an operator to enter a building together. Our clients take a hybrid of traditional office space with the landlord and a flexible agreement with the operator.
- Surplus Space Redeployment: We help clients explore savings opportunities for underutilised or unused space. We do this by selecting and partnering with a provider to takeover parts or whole sections of client’s office.
- By Request Turnkey Deals: For occupiers not satisfied with existing flex supply, we can advise on operators who will activate turnkey, flexible space on-demand in a building of the occupier’s choice.
