The highest incentive paid in Tenant CS's Melbourne history
Two negotiations run in parallel – an assignment + new direct lease
Secured a high-quality space that would accommodate future growth

The Brief

With the business recently being purchased by Bendigo & Adelaide Bank, a new tech headquarters was needed for this growing Australian brand that would:

  • Accommodate long term growth (at a point where the business didn’t know just how fast & big it would grow!)
  • Be the best location for staff, dependent on their preference to run, cycle, commute or drive
  • Assist in attracting good staff and retaining current employees in a fiercely competitive market
  • Incorporate feedback from staff around an all important question: "What’s the best thing each employee has at home, and how can we create it in the office?"

The Results

After exploring on-and-off-market opportunities and negotiating on multiple shortlisted properties, Tenant CS negotiated a Lease Assignment and a direct lease extension from the landlord.

Through these efforts, the team secured Ferocia a 3,000 sqm office over a 7-year lease term. This allowed them to accommodate projected growth and set up a co-working facility for like-minded tech businesses in the short term.

Tenant CS's robust negotiation strategy also resulted in the highest incentive paid in Tenant CS's Melbourne history, which the exiting tenant paid.
