"Jared did an outstanding job on this deal. Professional, efficient, and tenacious, they negotiated a great outcome for us‚ securing outstanding terms at our new premises while reducing our make good liability at our previous space. I am incredibly appreciative of their counsel and support throughout this entire process."

Chris Patrick

Chief Operating Officer ANZ

The brief

Rapid growth, teams split across several floors and an upcoming lease expiry meant Zip needed a workplace that could bring people back together and support hybrid work.

Tenant CS defined the future requirement, tested fitted and non-fitted options and negotiated shortlisted properties, with the goal of upgrading quality without letting occupancy costs run away.
