Transaction advisory
Transactions
Independent transaction project management for commercial property across Auckland. We define the strategy and run the process for vendors and purchasers, lessors and lessees. We hold no listings, and no vested interest in doing a deal for the sake of it.
What we do
Deal types we run
Vendors and purchasers, lessors and lessees — from market assessment through to settlement.
Acquisitions
On-market and off-market. We run due diligence, negotiate terms and coordinate advisors through to settlement.
Dispositions
Vendor packs, campaign strategy, offer evaluation and negotiation through to unconditional settlement.
Leasing
New leases and renewals for landlords and tenants, negotiated to protect your occupancy position.
Rent reviews and make-good
Rent reviews, make-good negotiations and lease restructuring, across all commercial sectors.
Licensing
Licence-to-occupy and short-term access for vacant or transitional assets — terms that protect your rights and generate holding income.
Joint ventures
Governance, capital contributions, profit-sharing and exit mechanisms, for development, investment or co-ownership.
Our approach
The strategy, the process and the negotiating, run by the same hand
We act for lessors and lessees, owners, occupiers, developers and joint-venture partners. We hold no listings, and nothing we recommend depends on the deal closing.
01
No listings, no commission
You are billed for the analysis whether or not a deal follows it.
02
Structured process
A written scope and timetable at the start, and a report at each decision point.
03
Market evidence
Comparable transactions and lease evidence, sourced and documented for each mandate.
04
Full coordination
We brief and coordinate the lawyers, valuers and engineers, so you deal with one person.
Sectors
Office, industrial, retail and mixed-use
Acquisitions, disposals and lease negotiations, sector by sector.
Office
CBD and metro office acquisitions, disposals and lease negotiations for investors and occupiers.
Industrial
Warehouse, logistics and light industrial transactions across Auckland’s key industrial precincts.
Retail and mixed-use
Retail assets, neighbourhood centres and mixed-use developments — sales, leasing and portfolio restructuring.
We have no vested interest in doing a deal for the sake of it. There is always a position to pursue. Whether it is worth pursuing is a judgement you should be making on the evidence, and sometimes it is worth paying to reach it.
Questions
Transaction FAQs
The six we are asked most often.
Do you act as a selling agent?
No. We hold no listings, and where a campaign has to be run we appoint the most appropriate agency for the asset and manage it.
What types of leases do you handle?
New leases, renewals, rent reviews, make-good negotiations, licence-to-occupy agreements and lease restructuring. Across all commercial property sectors.
Can you help structure a joint venture?
Yes. We advise on JV structures, governance, capital contributions, profit-sharing and exit mechanisms, so partners are aligned from the outset.
What sectors do you cover?
Office, industrial, retail, mixed-use and specialised assets. Auckland and New Zealand.
How is your fee structured?
Agreed up front, and usually a combination: a fixed fee or an hourly rate for advisory work, a retainer on longer mandates, and an agreed share of the savings achieved or the upside created. Nothing is paid simply for a deal happening.
Do you work with institutional investors?
Yes. We act for private investors, corporate occupiers, owners and developers, on single assets and on portfolios.
