We make sure that a space will suit a tenant client for years.

Through the years we have developed strong relationships in every key area of commercial real estate service. Ultimately, it is our loyalty to tenant-clients that has helped make The Meyer Group one of the most established long standing commercial real estate firms in the D.C. metropolitan area.

Financial Analysis

Rental rates, annual escalations, rental abatement, tenant improvement allowance—how can you make sense of it?

Landlords each have their own combination of these elements when they identify the costs for each building. Our response was to create a sophisticated computer financial analysis program, designed to make sense of dissimilar elements of a real estate transaction. Our lease escalation analyses enable us to project your total cost over the lease terms being considered. After factoring in base rental rate, escalation, pass-through, concessions, and move-related expenses, we can provide you with a gross aggregate lease value as well as a net present value of every building under consideration.

The lease escalation analyses created by The Meyer Group become invaluable tools in evaluating the real estate transaction.

Lease Administration

We prioritize your needs.

Our complete analysis of your existing lease includes a review of your rental rates, operating expenses and real estate taxes, pass-through statements and other costs that could affect your future occupancy. While it is always important to remain vigilant to assure that you are not over charge for any pass-through, it is particularly important when the market is soft and landlords feel they are not receiving “market rents” for their space. The Meyer Group works to monitor critical dates for renewal, expansion and cancellation provisions as well as pass through expense deadlines for auditing and review.

We seek to verify that you have not been over-charged in your current or future lease.

Lease Auditing

Our intent is to establish a permanent relationship with you, assisting with your ongoing real estate needs as they occur.

As a way to ensure that the management company abides by your lease agreement, The Meyer Group continues as your real estate advisor. Should we identify any discrepancies between the negotiated agreement and the actual conditions of doing business, we work with the management company or your independent accounting firm to keep your real estate taxes and operating expense pass-through in line with the terms of your lease.

As your real estate advisor we provide these annual lease audits at no cost to you.

Project Management

As your real estate consultant, we coordinate and supervise the project management, maintaining open lines of communication with you throughout the process.

The Meyer Group has the leading project managers in the industry. Unlike like some firms, we do not have a project manager in house but instead we have relationships with a variety of incredibly capable third party managers. Typically, the best project managers do not work for real estate companies but instead under a management firm of their own. Our decision to rely on third party managers benefits the client. When we start working with a new client, we assess their needs before assigning them a project manager. We are not committed to bring a project manager to the task is one is not required to avoid charging the clients with unnecessary costs. Other firms will always assign clients project managers—regardless if one is needed or not—because they have to keep their in house staff busy. However, by outsourcing, we attain project managers who are the best in the business, have flexible availability and are solely devoted to our tenant client.

The Meyer Group does not underestimate the importance of a strong team and solid planning.

Relocation Services

We know relocation requires skilled professionals, and we’re here to help you find them.

The Meyer Group is one of the few commercial real estate firms that has available to you both a relocation consultant and a construction consultant.

To prove how much we value a solid team and plan, we have an architect perform a preliminary assessment of your space requirements; and at absolutely no cost to you.

Tenant Advisory

The decision on your lease is one of the most important business decisions because of its lasting effects. Evaluating renewal versus relocation is a typical process handled by the Meyer Group.

Due to our exclusive mission of representing tenants, there is no conflict of interest when negotiating your transaction with the landlord. We assist in breaking down the financial and non-financial strategies to help guide your firm to a final decision. We work for you!

Let us help guide and manage the process from the beginning to move in.

Our Process…

Whether you are interested in a straight lease, or a lease with equity participation or purchase, The Meyer Group is uniquely positioned to identify and negotiate the very best deal at the location that best suits your needs. If you are working with a traditional real estate firm, your broker may very well be negotiating on your behalf with an organization to which they have a commitment and alliance. The potential conflict of interest rarely offers the best deal to you, the tenant.

Our approach is deliberate: Find the positives and negatives in each deal and take nothing for granted. We understand that, negotiated properly, your lease can provide the best bottom line deal in the building most suited to your needs.

Once the decision on an address is made, The Meyer Group continues providing hands-on participation in, and management of, the relocation/renewal process. In addition to our real-estate consulting team, each relocation/renewal requires a variety of specialized participants. Space planners, architects, relocation and construction consultants, as well as legal counsel are all required to move successfully into, or expand, a commercial space.

We recommend and assist in the selection of the best-qualified team of professionals to ensure our ultimate goal: getting you settled in your new environment with the least amount of disruption to your business.

Our Thinking…

Our forward thinking helps us maintain our position at the cutting edge of the real estate market. And it is you, the tenant, who benefits. We use a methodical approach that assures that all factors are taken into account. From HVAC systems and space efficiency to passthrough expenses and escalations, we are able to negotiate the best deals because we do not have conflict of interest distractions. And we never forget that add-on expenses can add tremendously to space costs, if overlooked.

Our state-of-the-art computer technology permits us to access the latest real estate data as well as cutting-edge market trends. Our technology also permits us to analyze the information we gather and deliver our findings to you with lightening speed.

Location and rental rate, details of your particular technology and utility requirements-these are the first considerations among myriad details that must be addressed from a tenant perspective. Armed with this information, we move aggressively to locate, present to you, and ultimately negotiate, the best deals in the marketplace.

The Meyer Group delivers the most current market information that is based on the latest, most accurate financial and technical data available. You can be confident that when the process is completed you will have the most attractive terms in the space that best suits your needs.
