HOW WE DO IT

Agency Services

The Real Estate Practice supports clients throughout the development cycle – from entitlement and permitting to lease-up and acquisition/disposition.

With 33 offices worldwide, we are large enough to handle complex assignments, yet small enough to be nimble in our approach.

We work hand-in-glove with our clients and their legal and design teams to engage with neighbors, special interest groups, and other stakeholders, helping to build positive advocacy for your project’s approval.

Clarity and consistency in your message are crucial to building your brand. We'll make sure that message proliferates throughout all materials targeting internal and external audiences.

From CEO positioning and new market launches to a comprehensive brand refresh, we're with you from the beginning of your most critical projects to maximize campaign success.

We bring to bear a team of visual- and written-content storytellers to elevate your brand among clients, partners and other audiences that matter most to you and your team.

From COVID and construction-site accidents to cyber security breaches and active shooters, our expert team provides planning and execution services to help you manage the most challenging corporate issues.

How you talk about and position your company can make or break its perception in the competitive marketplace. We'll help you formulate that message and share it with the world.

We know how important it is to participate in the most significant conversations around the industry, and will partner with you to ensure your company or project is well-represented in venues that matter.

From Business Improvement Districts to tenant communities and top trade organizations, we will connect you with the external stakeholders that are critical to your long-term success.

Our team has decades of experience developing digital broker toolkits, high-level brand messaging, and collateral materials that support the lease-up or disposition of your real estate assets.
