Resource Commercial Real Estate
Operators first, consultants second

We’re not traditional consultants. We’ve been in your shoes.

We aim to take the work off your plate — not put another deck in your inbox.

Bring us one workplace question No packages, no pitch decks.
We start with the decision in front of your team.
01 · Your team

Sets the direction.

Priorities, culture, budget and decisions.

02 · Resource

Adds experienced perspective and bandwidth.

Strategy, analysis, transactions and projects.

03 · Together

Moves the work.

Clear owners, better decisions and follow-through.

Start with one problem, several workstreams, or ongoing support.The right shape depends on what your company actually needs.
Working tools, not brochures

Real screenshots from real work — not stock photos.

These are not marketing images. They are actual tools and deliverables from recent engagements — the same working models your team would get in the first weeks.

01People-to-Space Forecast

Answer the next space question.

Connect hiring, peak attendance, team location and workplace choices to the amount of space your team may need - and when the decision process should start. This one was built for a Bay Area AI company’s San Francisco decision — before a single tour.

02CommuteLens Report

Make location decisions around people, not just buildings.

Compare potential locations against where employees live, how they travel and which sites give the greatest access across teams. Built by Resource, run on your team’s real footprint.

Workforce and business strategy drive real estate decisions. Get the information you need in minutes, not weeks.

03Total Cost of Occupancy Model

Understand the real cost, not just the lease deal.

Broker models often focus on rent, concessions and NPV. We carry the analysis through landlord-billed OpEx, tenant-incurred OpEx, capital, technology, transition, timing and risk so you can compare the full commitment.

04Process + Execution Roadmap

Make sure the work actually gets done.

Keep every project on track, bring in the right people at the right time, and plan ahead to control costs and prevent overruns. This is the process map we actually run engagements on.

Why we built Resource

“After eight years managing Airbnb’s global real estate, I built Resource around the kind of practical, honest partnership I valued as an operator. That means bringing the right people into the decisions that matter, giving clear advice, and staying focused on what is best for the business, not just the next deal.

Core offerings

Strategy, transactions, projects and the work between them.

These are examples of where we can plug in. The right scope is based on what your team needs, what you want to keep in-house and where outside experience creates leverage. Hover over any offering for what it looks like in practice.

Decision intelligence

Executive control

Keep decisions, owners, timing, risk and the next leadership ask visible.

A standing decision room: every open decision, its owner, timing and risk on one page. Each leadership ask arrives framed, with a recommendation — not a data dump.

Decision room + brief
People + workplace

Workplace strategy

Connect team needs, collaboration patterns and employee experience to the workplace plan.

We translate how your teams actually work — attendance, collaboration, growth — into a workplace program you can fund and deliver, with the employee experience designed in from day one.

Program + experience roadmap
Portfolio

Global portfolio strategy

Bring offices, flexible-space commitments and lease events into one forward plan.

Every office, flex commitment and lease event on one forward calendar, with a point of view on what to do next in each market — so nothing expires as a surprise.

Roadmap + lease calendar
Finance

Financial intelligence

Compare rent, operating cost, capital, cash timing, flexibility and risk.

Stay, extend and relocate scenarios modeled on the full cost stack — rent, OpEx, capital, timing and risk — in a form your CFO and board can act on.

TCO + scenario control
Market

Market intelligence

Maintain credible alternatives and negotiation context before a decision becomes urgent.

Live alternatives, comparable deals and landlord context maintained before you need them — so no negotiation starts cold and every ask is grounded in the market.

Survey + comparable deals
Scenario planning

Scenario planning + lease review

An impartial second set of eyes on stay, expand, relocate and flexible-space decisions — pressure-testing terms before you commit.

We pressure-test the terms, flag what is off-market and model the downside before you sign. Works alongside your existing broker — we make the whole team stronger.

Second set of eyes on high-stakes terms
Delivery

Projects + capital

Control scope, schedule, cost, vendors and employee readiness through opening.

Scope, schedule, budget and vendors run through one critical path from approval to opening day — with employee readiness treated as part of the project, not an afterthought.

Critical path + cost control
Partners

Vendor network

Bring in the right design, construction, technology and local-market specialists.

We source, vet and manage the architects, contractors, technology and local specialists each project needs — and hold their performance to the plan you approved.

Sourcing + performance control
Operating model

Organization + process design

Clarify what your team owns, what Resource runs and how decisions move.

Clear owners, a decision cadence and a process map for how real estate work moves between your team and ours — so nothing stalls waiting for "whose call is this?"

Roles + cadence + process
Risk

Lease administration

Keep obligations, notice dates, rights and critical lease information visible.

Abstracts, critical dates, rights and obligations tracked in one place, with notices flagged months ahead — before they become emergencies or missed options.

Abstracts + obligation tracking
Benchmarking

CRE benchmarking

Compare cost, density, service levels and operating maturity with useful peers.

Cost, density, service levels and operating maturity compared against peers that actually look like you — with targets you can defend internally.

Peer context + targets
AI + operations

CRE AI upskilling + workflow automation

Upskill the team on practical CRE AI, then automate the repeatable work around research, analysis, reporting and follow-through.

Role-based training on practical CRE AI for your team, then working automations for the research, reporting and follow-through they repeat every week — built, not just recommended.

Role-based training + working automations
Already have a broker?

You don’t have to replace your broker. We work with them.

For a recent AI client — where we were not the primary broker — we provided workplace strategy and an impartial second set of eyes that improved their position in negotiations, and we helped their broker build the analysis. We make your whole team stronger, whoever is on it.

How to engage

Three ways to work with us.

No packages and no surprises — just the shape that fits. Hover over each one for how it works.

01Single project

One project, one number.

Describe what you need. We scope it and give you a not-to-exceed number before we start.

How it works

Describe the question. We return a scope, a timeline and a not-to-exceed number before any work starts.

You get

A defined deliverable with a hard cap — no hourly creep, no surprise invoices.

Examples
Benchmarking reportLease reviewSpace forecastMarket survey
02Ongoing coverage

We stay on it.

A monthly retainer, sized by hours, for continuous coverage of an evolving portfolio.

How it works

We agree a monthly level of coverage, sized by hours, and revisit it as the workload changes.

You get

A standing team that already knows your portfolio — no re-briefing, no ramp-up, no full-time hire.

Examples
Lease administrationPortfolio strategyQuarterly reportingDecision support
03Fractional real estate

Your real estate team, fractional.

We run brokerage and consulting together as your fractional real estate function.

How it works

Strategy, brokerage and project delivery run as one accountable team — your real estate function, without the headcount.

The economics

Consulting is included. We’re compensated through the transaction work, so the advisory around it costs you nothing extra.

Best when

You’re scaling, decisions keep coming, and you want senior coverage across strategy, deals and delivery.
