Brokerage leasing
Leasing a standalone retail tenancy or showroom comes with a unique set of challenges for a retail leasing company and investors.
Understanding your overall investment strategy is key. For example, we’ll find out whether achieving top rent is your priority or whether you want a tenant that provides a service to the office tenants above.
Our approach
Our extensive database of top brands sets us apart from other retail leasing companies.
We also carefully analyse occupancy costs and are aware of what retailers can pay. We make sure we understand leasing incentives, as well as required landlord works.
Combining our network of desirable tenants with these data-driven insights helps to understand the uses and tenants that will be successful in your space.
We’ll be the first to tell you if it’s a bad deal or not the right tenant and will find you a better alternative.
Despite embracing technology and innovation, we still firmly believe in doing business by phone or face-to-face. Whether this is locally, interstate or even internationally, building relationships in this way propels things forward.

Retail asset repositioning
It’s never been more important for bricks and mortar stores to retain their relevance.
Being asleep at the wheel can be a costly mistake if you fail to identify changing demographics, consumer trends, or a competitor getting the jump in the market.
We thrive on repositioning centres that have been unloved or may have had the wrong leasing strategy to start with.
Our approach
It’s imperative that you work hand-in-glove with your asset management or property management teams to best maximise any repositioning.
Beyond a leasing exercise, we look at other important factors of the centre, such as:
- Being a strong focal point of the community,
- Ensuring that the consumer has time to dwell,
- And offering first-class facilities.
Lining up lease expiries or contracting favourable lease clauses to allow for strategic repositioning is incredibly important.
We’re highly skilled negotiators with a proven track record of success.
