Challenge

In today’s fast-moving business world, growing companies need more than just office space—they need flexibility. Back in 2019, a fast-growing client came to us with a clear goal: find an office space that could scale with their team without slowing them down.

But here’s the twist:
  • The building was in foreclosure.
  • The landlord was changing.
  • And the market? Competitive and unpredictable.

They didn’t just need tenant representation. They needed a team who could navigate complex lease negotiations, work with special servicers, and protect their ability to grow. That’s where we came in.

Our Approach

As one of the leading tenant representation firms in Atlanta, we focused on creating a long-term leasing strategy with flexibility at its core.

  • We negotiated multiple lease amendments to help the client grow into nearly 20,000 SF over time.
  • Secured a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) for the neighboring space, giving them a competitive edge for future expansion.
  • Maintained consistent communication with special servicers and new ownership to ensure deal continuity throughout foreclosure.

Outcome

  • Expanded the tenant’s footprint to nearly 20,000 SF without business disruption
  • Locked in ROFR rights, giving them priority access to adjoining space
  • Ensured lease security through ownership changes and economic shifts

Lesson Learned

This is what strategic tenant representation in Atlanta looks like. By focusing on flexible lease terms and future-proofing occupancy, we helped a growing business stay ahead of the curve—even during a foreclosure. If your business is scaling and you need more than a basic lease agreement, we’ll be your strategic partner every step of the way.

Closing Thought

This office leasing success story highlights the value of working with an experienced tenant representation advisor. Strategic negotiation, long-term planning, and steady guidance through complex situations—like foreclosure and ownership changes—can make all the difference. If your business is growing and you need a flexible, future-ready office solution, I’d be glad to help you achieve the same success.
