Client’s Goal

Relocate the firm’s Austin office into a higher-quality, amenity-rich environment.
Preserve capital during relocation while reducing long-term occupancy costs.
Support recruiting, retention, and employee productivity through location and building amenities.

Challenge

Relocation increased upfront financial exposure for tenant improvements, security deposits, and move logistics.
Competing Class A office options offered similar base rents but materially different capital requirements and employee experience.
The client required a solution that balanced economic considerations with planning for growth and improving workplace quality.

We valued ECR prowess in negotiating the best possible rental terms with each Owner to ensure a favorable agreement. Their guidance in the areas of tenant considerations and moving also helped us to control costs and plan for the transition. ECR’s familiarity with the local market meant they were able to consistently show us properties that were aligned with our operational needs and long-term goals.

Results
