It’s 18 months before your lease it up and if you are like most people, lease renewal and/or office relocation are the last things on your mind.

Timeframes may vary based on a number of variables such as the specific needs of your business, the size of the move or even the industry.  However, there is a rough guideline of what you should be doing as you count down to your lease expiration date. Even if you are just negotiating a lease renewal.

• 12-18 months: Tour new spaces with a tenant rep or have them review your current lease
• 9 months: Summit request for proposals to potential landlords or current landlord
• 8 months: Pick your top choices
• 7 months: Evaluate terms of your choices
• 5 months: Start construction and hire vendors for modifications to your space
