The Need
Renegotiate lease for Hirschler Fleischer's 50,000 SF law firm and expand within present building or relocate, preferably in downtown Richmond, to a location which could accommodate future growth.
The Approach
Develop strategy well in advance of lease expiration to allow sufficient time for process.

Consider all opportunities in the downtown area becoming available in the targeted time frame.

Engage space planner to evaluate the client's needs.

Consider client was price sensitive.
The Results
Took client to the market and created leverage among building owners to facilitate a very competitive situation that worked to the client's advantage.
