Occupier-side leasing for corporate, financial, and executive office users — we sit on the tenant's side of the table and negotiate against it.
Festinger Advisors represents tenants and occupiers who treat their real estate as a strategic decision, not a transaction. We define the requirement, read the market, and negotiate the lease from the tenant's side of the table — aligning every term with how the business actually operates. Brokerage services are provided through We Are Miami LLC, a licensed Florida real estate brokerage.
Robert Festinger has advised occupiers ranging from financial institutions and law firms to luxury retailers and executive office users, including engagements touching LVMH, Hublot, Richemont, UBS, and RedBird Capital Partners. That occupier perspective, built over 25 years across commercial real estate, shapes how we structure leases that protect flexibility and control cost over the full term.
We translate headcount, growth plans, and operating needs into a clear space program — establishing the size, layout, location, and timing the search must satisfy before we go to market.
We canvass the market, shortlist buildings against your criteria, and tour qualified options — comparing submarkets, landlords, and asset quality so the decision rests on evidence, not availability.
We benchmark asking rents, concessions, and effective economics against current comparables, giving you the leverage to negotiate from data rather than the landlord's opening position.
We negotiate rent, escalations, tenant improvement allowances, free rent, and operating-expense pass-throughs — pressing on every economic and structural term that affects total occupancy cost.
We evaluate staying versus moving well before expiration, running renewals and relocations as competitive processes so incumbent landlords compete to keep you in place.
We advise banks, investment firms, professional-service practices, and executive office users whose space carries brand and regulatory weight, structuring leases around their specific operating requirements.
A tenant rep works exclusively for the occupier, never the landlord. We define your space requirement, survey the market, tour options, and negotiate the lease on your behalf. Because we sit only on the tenant's side, our incentives align with securing the best terms, economics, and flexibility for your business.
In most office leases, the landlord pays the brokerage commission out of the deal, whether or not a tenant is represented. Engaging a tenant rep typically does not add cost. It adds an advocate who negotiates terms and economics the landlord would otherwise keep on its own side.
Begin twelve to eighteen months before lease expiration for larger requirements. Starting early preserves leverage. It lets us run renewals and relocations as a competitive process, evaluate the full market, and negotiate without the pressure of a deadline that favors the landlord.
