That is The Tenant’s Advantage.

Define and Support the Project Strategy and Facility Planning

Knowing where you want to go is always the first order of business for CresaPartners project managers. Then we work to get you into the space you need on a schedule that accommodates your business—and a budget that does not stress your bottom line. Using a deliberate process, we are able to:

  • Understand and align your business needs with the project’s objectives
  • Complete a Programmatic Requirements Document to reveal “must-haves” for the new environment
  • Reflect these needs in a Site Selection Criteria Matrix
  • Develop facility specifications for build-to-suit situations
  • Assure necessary resources to support modifications, workflow reengineering, build-to-suit, or tenant improvement initiatives
  • Develop conceptual project budgets and milestone timelines for each facility option
  • Champion favorable terms for a Tenant Work Letter as part of the real estate transaction

Develop and Manage the Project Team

The right team is the foundation for successful project management, and each of our advisors adheres to a collaborative approach. We take the time to learn about your existing processes and preferred vendors. Then we help you to enhance your processes and select the right vendors for outstanding service and outcomes. Count on CresaPartners to:

  • Align your internal procurement procedures with the project team development process articulated in our vendor protocol
  • Develop comprehensive RFPs that attract and engage would-be project partners to submit proposals
  • Administer best practice processes for vendor proposal review, including detailed evaluation matrices to establish selection criteria
  • Interview and select best-in-class vendors for every aspect of the project: from architecture to engineering, general contracting to furniture vendors
  • Negotiate architect, contractor, and other vendor contracts to protect your immediate and long-term best interests
  • Conduct respectful debriefs for all participants

  • Review and assure that schedules and budgets are on track
