Leasing

There are two sides to every lease.  NAI/Cressy has experience in providing well-managed leasing services for retail, industrial, and office buildings and representing the tenant’s interests. We represent building owners while promoting tenant loyalty while maximizing profits. Filling unoccupied space at any cost is not always the best answer for your long-term success. That’s why we examine every option to reduce your risk while increasing your property's value over the term of your ownership. How? By giving you complete access to our assets in addition to supplying up-to-the-minute information on rental rates, vacancies, and market conditions critical to your efforts. Don’t forget; we’re networked nationwide, so you get information on potential tenants, buyers and sellers, as soon as it’s available. We’re also adept at representing the tenant’s interests. We know the cost of real estate is one of the highest fixed operating expenses. Our expertise and insight can help analyze the factors that affect your current facility and compare it with the costs associated with relocating or building in another location. Again, it boils down to examining all the options. We simplify the decision-making process by giving you clear and quantitative facts. We can even help you negotiate reasonable terms to keep your capital where it belongs. Landlord or tenant…we’re not just your agents; we’re your partners.

Property Valuations

Need a property valuation but don’t want to empty your bank account? We provide valuations on commercial properties on a fee basis. These valuations are based on current market data and usually are not as expensive as full-fledged fee appraisals. In Indiana, it's referred to as a Broker Opinion of Value, and in Michigan, a Market Analysis. Licensed Brokers only analyzed using all of our current market data and delivered to you in an easily readable report.

Community Development

Many communities have benefited greatly by partnering with us to help develop commercial projects for their community and use our consulting expertise to work for their specific location. We have a proven track record of successful community development projects. Our latest partnership is with the City of Benton Harbor developing the City Center Lofts.
