Seattle Project Leasing & Landlord Representation

Office Building Leasing Services for Owners, Investors, and Developers

Successfully leasing an office building requires far more than simply listing available space and waiting for prospects to appear.

Whether you're delivering a new development, repositioning an existing asset, backfilling a major vacancy, or leasing a multi-tenant office building, success depends on market knowledge, strategic positioning, competitive pricing, and disciplined execution.

For more than 20 years, I have advised institutional owners, private investors, developers, and owner-users on office leasing strategies throughout Seattle and the Puget Sound region.

My experience includes leasing assignments for some of the region's most recognizable office projects and advising ownership groups ranging from private investors to institutional real estate companies.

What Is Project Leasing?

Project leasing is the process of developing and executing a comprehensive leasing strategy for an office building or portfolio.

Unlike a traditional broker assignment that focuses on a single vacancy, project leasing often involves broader responsibilities including:

  • Leasing strategy

  • Competitive analysis

  • Market positioning

  • Rental rate recommendations

  • Marketing strategy

  • Broker outreach

  • Tenant prospecting

  • Lease negotiations

  • Reporting and forecasting

The objective is not simply to lease space, but to maximize long-term asset value while achieving ownership's financial objectives.

Leasing Experience

During my career, I have participated in more than 3 million square feet of lease negotiations throughout the Puget Sound region.

My experience includes assignments involving:

  • Class A office towers

  • Multi-tenant office buildings

  • Creative office projects

  • Headquarters facilities

  • Medical office properties

  • Institutional investment assets

  • Redevelopment and repositioning projects

I have represented ownership groups ranging from private investors to institutional landlords, providing leasing strategy, market analysis, tenant prospecting, and transaction execution.

Understanding Both Sides of the Table

One advantage I bring to landlord representation is extensive experience representing tenants.

Because I regularly advise companies, nonprofits, educational organizations, and owner-users, I understand how tenants evaluate competing opportunities and make real estate decisions.

This perspective helps owners:

  • Position space more effectively

  • Anticipate tenant concerns

  • Structure competitive proposals

  • Improve conversion rates

  • Reduce downtime

Understanding both landlord and tenant objectives often creates better outcomes for all parties.

Strategic Leasing Advice

Every leasing assignment begins with a simple question:

Why would a tenant choose this building instead of a competing property?

Answering that question requires a detailed evaluation of:

  • Location

  • Accessibility

  • Parking

  • Amenities

  • Building systems

  • Tenant improvements

  • Competitive properties

  • Rental rates

  • Market conditions

The most successful leasing programs are built around a clear understanding of a property's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and competitive positioning.

New Developments & Repositioning Projects

Delivering a new office project or repositioning an existing asset requires a coordinated strategy long before prospective tenants begin touring space.

Services may include:

  • Market analysis

  • Product positioning

  • Lease-up strategy

  • Test fits and space planning

  • Marketing recommendations

  • Broker engagement

  • Tenant outreach

  • Lease negotiations

Early planning often has a significant impact on lease-up velocity and long-term asset performance.

Major Vacancy Backfill

The loss of a major tenant can create significant challenges for ownership.

Backfilling a large block of space often requires:

  • Repositioning strategies

  • Subdivision analysis

  • Capital improvement recommendations

  • Tenant targeting

  • Aggressive broker outreach

  • Competitive deal structuring

Having advised both tenants and landlords in large-space transactions, I understand the challenges involved in securing major tenants and navigating complex negotiations.

Representative Experience

Throughout my career, I have worked on leasing assignments involving some of Seattle's most recognizable office projects and ownership groups.

My background includes experience with:

  • Hines

  • Skanska Commercial Development

  • Ivanhoé Cambridge

  • CommonWealth Partners

  • Hudson Pacific Properties

  • Institutional and private office building owners throughout the Pacific Northwest

These assignments involved leasing strategy, tenant negotiations, market positioning, and long-term asset planning.

Direct Senior-Level Involvement

When owners hire Clark Corporate Realty, they work directly with me.

I remain actively involved throughout the assignment, providing strategic advice, market insight, prospect development, negotiations, and transaction execution.

My objective is straightforward:

  • Reduce vacancy

  • Increase occupancy

  • Improve asset performance

  • Create long-term value
