Our tenant representation services are built on strategic development, build-to-suit planning, market analysis, occupancy analysis, brand impact and employee satisfaction.

Testimonials
We were very fortunate to work with Kirk and Kym as the process for researching, finding and moving in to our office space is very involved, and we needed someone who would be a partner for the long haul. They helped us find commercial office space that not only matched our company culture, but enhanced it and aligned well to our brand that we are promoting. Highly recommend Kirk and Kym for your office project. The process isn't always easy, but they works their tails off and won't let you down!

I've had the opportunity to work with Kym Lee of CBRE in Columbus and I highly recommend her. Kym is a Commercial Real Estate expert with experience in Retail, Restaurant, Office and Industrial. Kym recently assisted us in a complex transaction to secure a lease with purchase option in a dynamic urban location in Columbus. Kym is very effective in Tenant Representation, understands markets, and is quite adept at achieving the goals of her clients. She is also a pleasure to do business with.
