In the Winnipeg office market both building owners and prospective tenants recognize the importance of professional representation backed by a thorough understanding of current market rents, inducement packages, vacancy rates and trends. The Colliers office leasing division has over the past 15 years demonstrated pre-eminence in this highly specialized market. The division has successfully negotiated office leases for over 1,900,000 square feet over the last 3 years and continues to build on this momentum. The abilities of the Colliers team are further evidenced by their selection as exclusive agents representing numerous local, national and international Tenants and Landlords. Supported by the property management division as well as other real estate professionals within the Colliers office our office leasing professionals have established themselves as the dominant force in this specialized market.
Exclusive Listing Agents
Acting as exclusive agents for a building owner, Colliers offers a fully computerized data base of over 2,000 office tenant expiries and is in effect able to match prospective tenants with available space. Professional presentations made in person to decision makers are crucial to the completion of the transaction. Along with tenant solicitation and procurement, the Colliers listing team provides leasing and marketing reports to the Landlord comprised of an on-going marketing update as well as an overview of current market conditions, recent transactions, anticipated trends and macro-economic activity in Winnipeg as well as the province as a whole. Enlisting Colliers as exclusive agents has produced "no vacancy" status for many of Winnipeg's more significant office properties.
Exclusive Tenant Representation
Engaged by a prospective tenant on an exclusive tenant representation basis to research the market, Colliers approaches every potential relocation in a thorough and comprehensive manner. Initial meetings will focus on a client needs analysis and upon completion Colliers conducts a thorough market survey of all currently available space that meets a given criteria as well as space that is anticipated to come to market in a suitable timeframe. Colliers offers both qualitative as well as financial analysis which reduces the varied and complex alternative deal structures to an "apples-to-apples" basis to facilitate informed decision-making. To ensure consistency in every tenant representation we undertake, we have developed a comprehensive methodology that from the onset of an engagement is tailored to a specific Tenant's needs. Ongoing dialogue with building owners, managers, as well as property developers ensures broad market coverage and timely information. Colliers will co-ordinate this process from start to finish and offers it services on an exclusive basis only. Fees charged are for the account of the successful Landlord in most instances. Time and again Tenants have found that utilization of our tenant representation services has produced dramatic bottom-line savings through the expert assistance we provide them in a "non-core activity" that represents a major overhead item on their financial statements.
