BATES ADVERTISING
250,000 Square Feet

The landlord was upgrading the building on a “build to suit” basis. Through our negotiation efforts, the tenant obtained new  floor-by-floor air-conditioning and VAV units to maintain 72°F at 4 watts/square foot plus power for 6 watts/square foot exclusive of base building air-conditioning resulting in a tenant savings of approximately $250,000.

DREYFUS CORPORATION
350,000 Square Feet

Through our due diligence efforts, we identified that the prospective building systems could not meet the agreed upon room conditions and as a result obtained 200-tons of additional air-conditioning resulting in approximately $800,000 for the tenant.

FCB
200,000 Square Feet

Through of our due diligence we identified 150kW of available capacity from the building’s life safety generator. During the lease negotiations we recommended that the landlord make available some of this capacity for FCB’s emergency egress lighting but the parties were unable to reach an agreement. After bids were received, we encouraged FCB to reopen discussions with the landlord and an ensuing agreement resulted in FCB realizing an estimated $250K savings by eliminating installation of their own emergency power system.

MAJOR INSURANCE COMPANY
(CONFIDENTIAL)
460,000 Square Feet

The tenant required 1,200kW of supplemental power to accommodate a large Data Center. The Landlord offered power at switchgear; we requested that the supplemental power be brought to the tenant floor since the Landlord is providing only 4.5 watts/rsf demand via the building bus duct. The estimated cost of riser was approximately $400K. The Landlord agreed to an additional two weeks free rent, essentially offsetting the riser costs.

MAJOR ACCOUNTING FIRM HQ
1,000,000 Square Feet

We obtained concession from the Landlord to install base building heating system, sprinkler loop, steam risers for kitchen, upsize base building generator instead of additional standalone (savings at approximately $1,750,000); negotiated after-hours AC cost at less than $10/hour per floor. Obtained installation of transformers and low voltage panel on every floor to comply with “Class A” building standard (savings at approximately $450,000).

KNIGHT SECURITIES
300,000 Square Feet

Landlord proposed AC system was numerous 40-ton rooftop commercial grade AC units. RDA negotiated for superior rooftop and walk-in penthouse units to service their Headquarters. Also, obtained heating system for double height trading area (approximate value $1,300,000).

WEIL GOTSHAL & MANGES
400,000 Square Feet

Negotiated Landlord concessions including installing complete BMS controls throughout their restack including new valving and controls on perimeter induction units. Negotiated with Landlord to agree that Lease obligated him to humidify in the winter. When he could not, he provided a cash contribution to “trade” (total savings at approximately $400,000).

WILLKIE FARR & GALLAGHER
250,000 Square Feet

Identified that base building AC was inadequate and as a result, Landlord upgraded the cooling coils in the main AHU’s instead of WF&G having to provide supplementary AC throughout the space (installed savings at approximately $1,200,000; annual operating cost savings at $60,000 per year).
