Notice dates hide in exhibits. A Buckhead professional firm that wakes up ninety days out has already lost the ability to tour, design, and move. The current landlord knows that. We start the renewal file while other suites in Sandy Springs and Midtown are still real, not theoretical.
Swartz Co Commercial Real Estate works leasing across Metro Atlanta. LOI economics are a different article. This one is time. If you wait until this floor is the only floor you can occupy, you are not negotiating. You are accepting.
Pull the notice date this week
Write the date on a wall calendar. Work backward through tour time, board approval, and TI if you might move. Industrial in Fairburn needs a different runway than a 3,000-square-foot office. Name it.
Test the market while you still might leave
Two real tours beat a broker opinion. If nothing else fits, you still learned that. If something fits, you have leverage. See current listings with the same occupancy assumptions you use on the current lease.
Growth and shrinkage belong in the same conversation
Headcount that grew into the conference room is not a reason to renew blind. Headcount that shrank is not a reason to stay in unused square footage. Put both on the same page as rent.
