Our Services

Flinn Ferguson Cresa has a menu of service offerings for all tenant types and needs. Our philosophy is to clearly communicate the offerings and to collaborate in development of a custom plan to smoothly implement the services needed to achieve the goals of our clients. We are not incentivized to offer services that don’t benefit our clients.

In order to properly serve the complexity of our client’s needs we always engage best in class partners to enhance our team. We maintain that the most talented and efficient consultants, especially for workplace strategy and project management, are local providers who know the real estate, the industry players and the municipalities where projects are located.

Flinn Ferguson Cresa’s comprehensive approach to lease transaction management ensures that all information and options for efficiency and cost savings are explored in the beginning of every client engagement. Whether it be for a single headquarter requirement or evaluation of a global office portfolio, we ensure our clients are involved in each phase of the process—from initial team selection, to technology and workplace consulting implementation, to transaction completion, and final occupancy. As your representative, we make every effort to utilize your time efficiently. This means we do our homework and present clear, thorough and understandable information that will enable you to make highly educated decisions.

Developing the ideal workplace is more important than ever for recruitment, retention, and incentivizing employees to return to the office.  Architecture & design firms are the innovators of workplace consulting, not commercial real estate services firm. No single consultant is a fit for every project.  Our clients’ workplace consulting needs are best and most efficiently serviced by the architect who will be designing the space and creating the construction drawings.   Flinn Ferguson Cresa recommends different workplace consulting, architecture and design firms based on the needs of the client and we are able to integrate these consultants into the project team seamlessly. 

In order to have a successful project, controlling construction costs and timelines is critical for any Flinn Ferguson Cresa client.  There are many talented project & construction management professionals in the Puget Sound.  Project & construction management is best performed and serviced by local companies or individuals who have familiarity with the buildings, players and municipalities.  No one project and construction manager is a fit for every project.

In conjunction with best in class partners, we have developed best practices for day-to-day lease administration and accounting processes, but can also tailor reporting for any client needs. From single lease abstracts to the integration of a complex global portfolio we help clients export the opportunities that come from having well organized and up-to-date data.

For many companies, managing multiple locations presents both opportunities and challenges – this is especially true when priorities may not always align from one location to the next. We understand these complexities and specialize in implementing standards that facilitate decision-making, ensure consistency, enhance your operations and generate cost savings. 

From a single point of contact, we identify the resources required to optimize your portfolio, leveraging the expertise of Cresa’s integrated service lines to deliver custom real estate strategies that support your business.

We leverage the data of our clients into actionable business intelligence, offering a consolidated, real-time view of their portfolio. With the ability to pull from multiple data sources, we track important real estate and occupancy metrics over time and display the data visually in easy-to-read dashboards. BI & Technology services include: Data Visualization & Reporting, Platform Selection, Business Technology Sourcing, and Smart Binding Solutions.

We help our clients with multiple offices or those considering new locations to determine the criteria most important to their business and leverage best-in-class research and technology to evaluate prospective locations. Key considerations include: talent and demographics, transport and infrastructure, cost and risk global credits and incentives and logistics /supply chain.

Leverage cutting-edge technology to evaluate labor availability, competition and cost trends in prospective markets to ensure a location strategy that supports the talent and business coverage plans of our clients. Start by understanding the type of talent you seek. Whether searching for new grads or seasoned professionals in any industry, we can provide a thorough analysis showcasing the trends for that demographic. Using industry-leading technology, we visually depict the target demographics preferences for urban or suburban living, transportation, corporate culture and work style. Focusing on sector saturation to identify and rank communities for workforce potential, we then develop a talent acquisition strategy.

Manage the entire process from identifying incentives opportunities through negotiations and aftercare. Key considerations include: state & local tax, discretionary incentives, complex incentives, opportunity zones/new market tax credits and green and renewable energy. 

Our mission critical space consultants specialize in serving clients with infrastructure-centric facility needs. Specifically occupiers of data centers, telecommunications facilities, network operations centers and other mission-critical facilities to identify their best real estate options and cost savings.

After gaining an understanding of your financial position, business plan and portfolio needs, we create tailored solutions that support your real estate and decrease your capital costs. We work cross-functionally with your finance, accounting, operations, legal and real estate departments. Together, we ensure our recommended approach meets your funding requirements, aligns with your intended accounting treatment and complies with existing debt covenants.
