THE PROPERTY ACQUISITION PLAN - Methodology used by the Tenant Representative

About This Course

Every project needs a clear starting point and a structured set of activities from initiation to completion—commercial leasing projects are no exception. Before an Executive Leadership team begins searching for suitable accommodations, they must define their strategic workplace aspirations. These goals may emerge from internal consultations long before the property search begins. Industry benchmarking and best workplace practices can also inform the decision, helping leadership determine whether to relocate or stay put. Regardless of the outcome, a well-planned approach ensures clarity and direction.

You’ll explore how involving a Tenant Representative early in the process adds value by guiding property procurement. Much like project managers use structured frameworks to achieve outcomes, Tenant Reps rely on the Property Acquisition Project Plan—a roadmap from client engagement to securing an optimal workplace. Understanding the accommodation life cycle helps ensure that businesses act at the right time to leverage the market effectively.
