Tenant Representation Case Studies
Six businesses. Six very different problems. Every one of them worked personally by Corina Irvin, Founder & Principal of Peninsula Commercial Real Estate Group.
Client names, dollar figures, and square footage stay out of it. Everything else is exactly what happened.
-
Medical Sales Company | Office | Relocation
Thirty-plus years in the same office. Same walls, same address, same landlord.
Then the renewal came back with terms that didn’t work, and the landlord wouldn’t move off them. The company figured it had two choices: sign, or stay put and take it.
There was a third. Corina went and found it. She worked the market, built out real relocation alternatives, and put them on the table — so for the first time, the company had somewhere else to go.
It moved into space that fit the business better, with its long-term occupancy costs protected.
-
Engineering Company | Office & Warehouse | New Lease
The requirements weren’t flexible. Specific electrical power. Specific HVAC. A building that could actually run the operation instead of just holding it.
The company went looking on its own and got mostly silence. Listing brokers didn’t call back.
So Corina ran the search all the way down. Building after building, until she found one that genuinely cleared the technical specs. Then she went straight to the landlord and negotiated the lease herself.
The company ended up with a long-term home, office and warehouse under one roof, and room to grow into.
-
Professional Services Firm | Office | Renewal
The renewal notice showed up with a significant increase on it.
The firm liked where it was and didn’t want to move. It also didn’t want to pay whatever number arrived in the mail — and it had no way to know whether that number was fair.
Corina ran a market analysis and lined up what else the firm could realistically have. Real buildings, real terms. That changed the shape of the conversation with the landlord.
The firm renewed on favorable terms, brought its occupancy costs down, and never left the location it wanted.
-
Distribution Company | Industrial | Relocation
Growth is a good problem right up until the trucks back up.
The company had outgrown its warehouse and needed more loading capacity. But it couldn’t chase cheap space wherever it turned up — it had to stay near its customers and near the routes its freight already moved on.
Corina worked through facility after facility until only the buildings that cleared both tests were left standing. Then she negotiated terms with flexibility built into them.
The company moved into a building sized for where it’s headed, and kept its upfront occupancy costs down getting there.
-
Retail Business | Retail | New Lease
In retail, the wrong side of the street is a different business entirely.
The company was expanding and needed a location people would actually see, in a trade area where everybody wanted the same corner.
Corina worked through the opportunities that were out there and negotiated with several landlords at the same time.
The business opened in a prime location, on favorable lease economics, with tenant improvement concessions from the landlord.
-
Healthcare Practice | Medical Office | New Lease
A medical office isn’t square footage. The equipment has to fit. Patients have to move through without stacking up in a hallway. And whatever the building can’t already do, somebody has to pay to build.
The practice needed all of that, plus room to grow, without a renovation bill that would eat the front end of the lease.
Corina put multiple medical office options in front of them and negotiated terms that brought the build-out cost down.
The practice got space that works the way the practice works, with room ahead of it.
