Office
The metropolitan Atlanta Office markets consist of more than 138 million square feet of space. The combined total of direct and sublease office space available for lease as of the fourth quarter of 2008, per the Atlanta Business Chronicle, is over 2.2 million square feet. This number represents a great opportunity for Tenants to take advantage of current market conditions. As office rents have begun to slip because of the economy, landlords are offering stronger concessions in the form of higher tenant improvement dollars and free rent for credit worthy long term leases.
With your long term strategic plan as our guide, it is our job to navigate you through the maze of choices and deliver the perfect facilities solution. Here are a few of our recent clients that we were very fortunate to assist with their office space needs:
Carter Brothers

As of the 4th quarter of 2008 more than 7.5 million square feet of space is available in Metropolitan Atlanta. It’s our job to navigate you through the endless choices and align available options with your long term strategic plans and goals using our 10 step approach.

Land
Whether the need is for a city block or sprawling acreage, we at T. Dallas Smith & Company can assist a buyer with the acquisition of raw land. Unlike many urban areas where land is hard to come by, one of Georgia’s greatest assets is its land. The South Fulton Corridor alone has more than 100,000 acres of undeveloped acreage. It’s our job to navigate you through the endless choices and align available options with your long term strategic plans and goals using our 10 step approach. Here is one of our deals were we assisted our client with their land needs:

Churches
Working with religious institutions takes a unique skill set from a real estate professional. It’s important that the broker has a thorough knowledge of office, industrial, land and retail space because of the adaptive re-use nature of today’s Churches. T. Dallas Smith & Company has worked with small congregations and Mega Churches. It’s our job to navigate you through the endless choices and align available options with your long term strategic plans and goals using our 10 step approach.

T. Dallas Smith & Company is a Commercial Real Estate Company that focuses on Tenant and Buyer Representation in the areas of Office, Land, Industrial, Churches and Retail real estate. Our 10 step approach to helping the client is fairly simple.
Define the Needs is an extensive programming and questioning session between our group and our client to talk about current needs. We also visit their existing facility to help forecast future needs. If the client is a new start-up we walk with them step-by-step to help that client understand how to best decide how many square feet are needed and how to translate putting bodies into spaces – we can do it all from 500 – 500,000+ SF.
We perform a survey of the market based upon the initial meetings using state-of-the-art research sources to find properties that fit the client's requirements.
Of the possible choices we find from our market survey we scour the list to a focused manageable short list and schedule property tours for our clients.
We request proposals from a further narrowed list that is based on our client’s feedback from the tour.
Upon receipt of those proposals, the properties are then subjected to an objective financial analysis that compares rental rates, loss factors, square footage availabilities, allowances, concessions, parking expenses and escalations. In addition to the financial analysis we conduct a needs-met analysis based on issues that are germane to the client such as security, building services, building curb appeal, access to parking and other amenities.
Once the analysis has been reviewed by the client and one property is selected, we draft a letter of intent for the selected property that is signed by the client and submitted to the Owner. Negotiations begin and are always conducted with the client’s full knowledge and oversight.
Once an agreement is reached a lease agreement for the chosen property is received and it must be reviewed by legal counsel to be sure it contains all of the agreed upon details of the negotiations, if our client does not have counsel that specializes in this area of law we suggest local firms with whom we have relationships.
The construction bid and build process is overseen by our group to be sure that the needs defined in our initial needs analysis are met or exceeded and that necessary details don’t “fall through the cracks.”
We monitor the clients time table to assure a Successful Move-in.
We maintain our client relationship throughout the life of the lease to be sure that the landlord is performing to the client’s satisfaction and to assist with any other property needs.
