Our team has extensive experience representing tenants, as well as landlords, in the lease, sale, and management of real estate assets. This gives our brokers a competitive advantage in representing tenants as we are able to leverage our in-depth understanding of the entire transaction to produce the most favorable outcomes for our clients.

In addition to negotiating the most advantageous tenant terms, our team analyzes and executes the remainder of the transaction, including:

• Coordination with finance & accounting to ensure the negotiated transaction is consistent with how expenses and incentives will be realized in company financials
• Coordination with in-house & outside counsel to negotiate lease & work letter that will bind the company to capital expenditures by the landlord and/or tenant
• Management & oversight of construction to ensure that the negotiated lease is enforced

While most companies execute a lease transaction every three to five years, ProVenture provides its clients the expertise and experience created by the hundreds of leases executed by our team.

Opening a new facility is often a risky and expensive proposition for any organization.

Some aspects of our process includes:

• Complex Multi-Market Incentives Negotiation
• Cost / Quality of Living Analysis
• Exit Strategy Alternatives Analysis
• Financial Analysis (Lease vs. Own)
• In-Depth Labor Study
• Site Feasibility Analysis
• Transportation / Network Analysis
