The Armstrong Group Represents MidSouth Capital Inc. for Office Space Lease Renewal and Extension
Extend and Blend leasing program critical to leasing strategy for MidSouth Capital office space lease renewal.
- Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) June 11, 2012 - MidSouth Capital Inc. recently restructured and extended their office space lease for their Atlanta headquarters location. They were represented in this transaction by The Armstrong Group, an Atlanta based office tenant representation firm. The Armstrong Group utilized a creative office leasing strategy- An Extend and Blend Lease Program, which provided MidSouth Capital Inc. an extension of their current lease with negotiated reductions in rental rates and operating expenses.
The Extend and Blend Leasing Program is a simple amendment to an existing office space lease that extends the length of the lease and includes financial incentives from the landlord to reduce the costs. Companies that signed office space leases before 2008 are probably paying above market rental rates. It makes economic sense for certain landlords to offer incentives to encourage a current tenant to remain in their building rather than try to lease space in a slow market.
Ron Bateh, CEO of MidSouth Capital knew he wanted to keep renting office space in his current location but needed to reduce his operational costs to fund continued expansion of his investment business. He knew there were almost three years before his office space lease expired and needed strategic advice to monetize his office lease to reduce costs. "I contacted Brent Armstrong because we had no experience in negotiating an office space lease. I knew that he would not only help me restructure my office lease but also protect my business"
After thoroughly reviewing the MidSouth Capital's office space lease and extended meetings with the landlord, Brent Armstrong suggested an Extend and Blend Leasing program. The negotiated new lease was advantageous to both landlord and tenant. "Brent not only knew the leasing market and the complexities of the lease, he also knew the other side of the bargaining table." said Ron Bateh. Not only was the landlord able to keep a growing and expanding company in their building, they also avoided the marketing cost and months of lost leasing revenue.
MidSouth Capital will significantly reduce their real estate and operating expenses for the next seven years. These savings will have a dramatic and positive impact for MidSouth Capital because real estate lease cost savings fall directly to the bottom line. "The costs savings from the Extend and Blend approach benefits us greatly as we continue to hire new investment professionals and expect significant growth over the next few years." said Bateh.
