Industrial, logistics or factories – usually these are build-to-suit projects for which the rent must be defined. The report allows for developers to negotiate with clients and have a third-party opinion to back up their negotiations.
Office Project (greenfield) – sometimes there is a need for the study of the projected rents of a project during the planning process. Rents are extremely sensitive and can determine the feasibility of a project. Developers sometimes need a quick concise study that validates the rent input for a particular development.
