Key Objectives
AEG entered the relocation process with a clear goal: to align their physical workspace with the evolving needs of their business and employees.

Landmark was tasked with identifying a property that met both their space requirements and financial expectations – while ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

💸 Ensure Financial

Our Approach
Landmark’s relocation strategy blended real estate advisory, space planning, and project execution – delivered through a collaborative team. A dual-track site search gave AEG options and leverage while keeping timelines flexible. When their top-choice space was withdrawn from the market, Landmark pivoted quickly to a strong alternative.
Brokerage Actions
Michael Curran, SIOR, led the dual-track site search focused on West Shore locations that fit AEG's needs. By identifying multiple viable properties early, the team preserved timeline control and negotiation strength. When the top-choice site was removed from the market, Curran swiftly transitioned to a strong alternative and structured a lease with phased rental terms, giving AEG the financial flexibility to ease into their new space.
Occupier Strategy & Workplace Design
Working with AEG's leadership, Colleen Erickson, NCIDQ, developed a space program that emphasized team flow, flexibility, and collaboration. Her design balanced structure and openness, placing private offices along the perimeter to support both focus and interaction.
Colleen also oversaw furniture selection, finish coordination, and zone planning - from touchdown areas to the lab. Her comprehensive approach ensured that AEG's workspace reflected their goals and culture while optimizing day-to-day function.
