Real Estate strategies during a slowdown
We remain optimistic about the economy in Colorado and the rest of the USA. As my stockbroker said, it's like passing a kidney stone, it hurts, but things will eventually be alright.

That said, what can a company do from a real estate perspective to help itself immediately or position itself best for the long haul. Here are three strategies that will work right now.
 
Restructure your lease - a technique we have used successfully with clients that have 30 months or less on their lease is extend their lease term a couple of years, and in return we receive a lower lease rate and tenant improvements from the landlord.
 
Purchase - we advised our clients that in Feb 2007, when Equity Office Properties sold $39 billion in office properties that Sam Zell rang the bell at the top of the market. Today, most buildings are or will be "on sale" and there are a lot of purchase opportunities.
 
Right size your space - numerous corporations are looking for ways to trim expenses. We have successfully negotiated lease terminations for clients looking to dispose of excess space.
