Colliers CCSG, working with Colliers NL, reviewed all market opportunities and recommended two alternative facilities while maintaining ongoing negotiations with the existing landlord. All locations were analyzed and compared for labour capabilities and employee access.
Result: Colliers CCSG was able to leverage two real relocation alternatives against the existing renewal option and was successful in negotiating below market terms and incentives that drove an eventual renewal transaction. Significant cost savings, improved premises, and long term flexibility were secured.
