Securing the Perfect Office Space for Global Engineering Firm RSK
In commercial property acquisition, sometimes the perfect space seems elusive, especially when the checklist of requirements is long and precise. For one client, the quest for ideal office premises seemed like an impossible challenge until they turned to the expertise of O’Neill & Co.
The client, RSK, a global leader in the delivery of sustainable solutions, had outgrown their office setup, which was split between two separate locations. Eager to consolidate their workforce and streamline operations, they sought a new office space that could accommodate their expanding team under one roof. However, the task was not just about finding any office; it was about finding the perfect one that met a long list of exact requirements.
Paramount among these requirements was the location. The new office needed to be strategically positioned, within reach of major roads and public transportation links. This was crucial to ensure minimal disruption to the staff’s commute, facilitating a seamless transition. Additionally, the client’s operations necessitated ample outdoor space, including a large yard and storage unit nearby, which further narrowed down the search parameters.
Faced with these exacting criteria, RSK initially embarked on their own search but soon realised the complexities of the task at hand. That’s when they enlisted the expertise of O’Neill & Co. knowing that their specialised knowledge of the local property market and extensive network would be invaluable in navigating the search process.
Armed with a clear understanding of the client’s needs, we embarked on a comprehensive search, leveraging our connections within the industry, and scouting out the market for potential properties that met our client’s exact specifications.
After rigorous screening and preliminary investigations, a promising candidate emerged—a spacious office space that ticked all the boxes. However, during the due diligence process, it was discovered that the building’s air conditioning system was defunct, which presented a significant hurdle.
Undeterred, O’Neill & Co.’s team, led by Associate Director Stephen Keeler, resolved this issue for our client by drawing on their negotiation skills and industry experience. Through skilful negotiation, they managed to secure a commitment from the landlord to replace the entire system as part of the rent negotiation, alleviating the client’s concerns and ensuring a comfortable working environment for their employees.
The result of these efforts was the successful acquisition of the ideal office space for the client. Not only did it meet all their requirements, but it also exceeded their expectations, thanks to the proactive approach and expertise of our team.
