Grids: Testimonials

  • When we decided we needed more space to meet the needs of our growing company we had no idea that negotiating with the building ownership would be so complicated and challenging. We had so many questions about the process of extending our footprint in the building we were occupying, the agent with the property management company suggested that we work with a broker to help us through the process. I am very thankful he made that suggestion.
    Working with Andy and Daniel with Citadel Partners was the best part of the entire experience of expanding our office space. They educated us throughout the process and helped us every step of the way. Andy and Daniel were helpful, personable, professional and a delight to work with. Andy kept the communication moving forward and provided insight on what to expect in each part of the process. We ended up with an agreement with the building owners that completely meets our needs and our budget.
    The next time we need more space, Andy will be the first call I make!

  • We reached out to Citadel after discussing their work in negotiating a lease renewal for a valued colleague’s business. Our colleague was exceptionally pleased with Citadel’s work and conveyed that Andy and Scott with Citadel are consummate professionals, thorough, and would tenaciously work to help us understand our options and achieve the best deal possible. Our colleague was spot on, as we had the same experience. We enjoyed working with Andy and Scott and are delighted with the results they achieved for our company. We are aware that our contract is better than others recently signed by other tenants in our building who did not have Citadel representing them. We also appreciated how Andy and Scott simplified the process and boiled down the information regarding our options into simple to understand spreadsheet comparisons. After the fact they also provide an excellent lease summary, which will be helpful for future reference. My company and I can highly recommend Citadel’s services.

  • When we asked Scott Morse and the Citadel Partners team to assist in our pursuit, they asked all the right questions and urged us to explore other availabilities in the market before zeroing in on our new facility. This calculated process, attention to detail, and thoughtful analysis is unmatched in our experience and made us feel confident in our decision. The new facility has immediately helped bring new energy to the office and truly represents the culture of our company. I highly recommend partnering with the Citadel team for anyone looking for quality representation focused on their business drivers.

  • “We moved into our new space in March 2014, and we could not be happier. Our old office was very linear with offices situated off of a long hallway, limiting the feeling of a team environment. Our current space has brand new finish-out and is more circular, which has established a positive work energy while giving us much more room.”

  • Citadel Partners’ market knowledge, along with their understanding of our long-term objectives, helped us get a reduced lease rate and gain allowances to replace HVAC systems and make cosmetic changes. Citadel’s perseverance and excellent negotiation skills prevailed with an owner who had never reduced lease renewal rates.

  • “Mac Morse and the whole team at Citadel Partners were exceptional allies for us through every facet of our office search and move. The team’s professionalism, responsiveness and dedication to providing us with the absolute best facilities for our growing organization surpassed any expectation we could have had going into the process. Not only did Citadel Partners find us a fantastic new facility that would meet our needs for today and into the future, Mac arranged the services with third-party vendors to tackle all aspects of the office transition including space design, furniture design and installation, moving, and even exterior signage. We truly felt that we had an advocate in this process that brought subject matter expertise and the highest level of customer service to the transaction. From start to finish Mac and Bo were a phone call away routinely making things happen for us behind the scenes. There is no doubt I would have let several things slip through the cracks if I had not had them at the helm of this deal. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Citadel Partners!”

  • The real value-add of the Citadel Partners team was their ability to work with us throughout the entire process – from market research, to site selection, negotiation, design, construction and move-in.

  • We interviewed several firms. Our selection of Citadel was based upon one of trust. They proved they could listen and truly understand our needs. We knew that they would have our best interest in mind while independently capturing every possible opportunity for us to consider as a potential location. They were very attentive to our needs and there for us at every twist and turn of the process. The result is a relocation to a site that better represents our culture and suits our needs for the future. The Citadel team is fun, flexible and easy to work with – a true partnership.
