Making strategic decisions related to lease renewal for 30 satellite offices.
Eliminating one satellite office location uncovered $115K annually in lease avoidance
An information technology service management (ITSM) company’s CFO and Head of Real Estate were considering consolidating their office footprint and wanted to better understand global occupancy and usage trends across their satellite offices.
VergeSense Strategic Advisory Services identified underutilized space in a satellite office through a detailed 90-day usage study. This effort allowed them to come to the conclusion that they could give up the lease on that office to realize cost savings, and informed a strategic model for evaluating leases at other locations.
The office was significantly underutilized, with an average person count of 2, and a peak person count of 17.
Consistently low occupancy trends allowed leaders to feel comfortable with the decision to eliminate the lease.
Developed a model for evaluating other satellite office leases alongside occupancy trends.
Leaders realized $115K annually in lease avoidance with the decision to not renew the satellite location.
