Tenant Requirements and Property Match

The tenant, a national firm looking to expand into Missoula, was in search of an office space that was not only move-in ready but also located in a vibrant downtown area to provide their employees with easy access to local amenities. Their criteria emphasized the importance of a quality office environment that could support their operational needs and enhance their employees’ work-life balance.

How the Office Met Tenant Needs

145 West Front Street stood out as an ideal match for the tenant’s requirements. The property had recently undergone updates to ensure it was both modern and functional, offering a move-in ready solution for businesses, preventing the need for extensive renovations. Additionally, its downtown location placed it within walking distance of numerous dining, shopping, and entertainment options, aligning with the tenant’s desire for a location that caters to the well-being and convenience of their team.

The Leasing Strategy

SterlingCRE’s strategy involved showcasing the features of the office and its prime location to emphasize how the space could meet the specific needs of the tenant. By focusing on these aspects, SterlingCRE was able to effectively communicate the value of the property to potential tenants and ultimately secure a tenant whose requirements closely matched what the office offered.

Outcome for the Landlord

The result was a five-year NNN lease agreement with the national firm, representing a win for the landlord. This lease agreement not only secures a stable and reliable tenant but also affirms the property’s value and appeal in the competitive market of downtown Missoula.
