Your Business. Your Investment. Your Next Move.
From a building for your business to a large office investment, One West Group helps buyers and sellers evaluate the opportunity, understand the numbers, and execute a clear strategy.
From Owning Your Workspace to Expanding Your Portfolio.
Office ownership serves different objectives. For a business owner, it can mean securing a long-term location and greater control over occupancy. For an investor, it requires a close understanding of tenant demand, lease economics, operating costs, and future capital needs.
We advise clients across that spectrum—from smaller owner-user buildings to larger multi-tenant office assets. Our approach connects the property’s location, condition, and financial performance to the outcome you want to achieve.
Office value depends on more than the rent roll or price per square foot. Lease expirations, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, building systems, parking, and future capital requirements can materially affect the cost of ownership.
One West Group helps clients examine these details together. For owner-users, we focus on business fit and occupancy requirements. For investors, we assess income durability, competitive positioning, and the investment needed to maintain or improve performance.
Office Expertise Across Ownership Strategies.
Whether you’re purchasing a headquarters, selling an investment, or evaluating a larger asset, we help turn a complex real estate decision into an actionable plan.
Office Investment Sales
Position your asset around its income, tenancy, physical condition, and market opportunity. We develop the pricing and marketing strategy, identify prospective buyers, evaluate offers, and guide negotiations through closing.
Owner-User Acquisitions & Dispositions
Align the property with the needs of the business. We help clients evaluate building size, layout, occupancy timing, parking, expansion potential, and acquisition costs—and position owner-user properties for sale.
Large Office Asset Advisory
Evaluate larger office investments with attention to tenant concentration, lease rollover, operating performance, capital expenditures, and competitive positioning. We help buyers and sellers assess how these factors influence pricing and execution.
Property Valuation & Strategy
Understand your building’s market position through comparable sales, operating income, occupancy, lease terms, and competing properties. Our broker’s opinion of value provides a practical basis for evaluating a sale or acquisition.
Repositioning & Value-Add Analysis
Assess properties with vacancy, dated improvements, or changing tenant requirements. We help evaluate potential improvements and alternative positioning alongside leasing costs, capital needs, market demand, and execution risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with business owners purchasing their own office buildings?
Yes. We help business owners evaluate properties based on space requirements, location, layout, parking, timing, and total occupancy costs. We also help identify issues to investigate during due diligence, including permitted use and the ability to occupy the required space.
How do you evaluate an office building’s value?
We consider location, condition, occupancy, lease terms, operating income, comparable sales, and competing properties. We also assess likely capital expenditures and leasing costs. For owner-user buildings, availability for occupancy and suitability for prospective businesses are important considerations.
What should investors review beyond the asking cap rate?
Investors should examine lease rollover, tenant concentration, contractual rents, expense recoveries, and the costs of future vacancy. Tenant improvements, leasing commissions, free rent, and capital expenditures can affect investment performance beyond the advertised cap rate.
Can you help sell a vacant or partially occupied office building?
Yes. We evaluate whether the property is best positioned for an investor, an owner-user, or a buyer pursuing a repositioning strategy. Vacancy, occupancy timing, physical condition, and the cost of bringing space into use all influence that approach.
Do you advise on larger multi-tenant office assets?
Yes. Our advisory approach includes reviewing operating performance, tenant mix, lease expirations, capital requirements, and market positioning to help clients evaluate an acquisition or disposition.
Should I purchase a building or continue leasing?
The decision depends on your business plans, available capital, financing, expected occupancy period, and the responsibilities of ownership. We help compare acquisition and occupancy scenarios so you can evaluate the options with your financial and tax advisors.
Can an office building be repositioned or converted to another use?
Some properties may offer repositioning or conversion potential, but feasibility depends on zoning, building configuration, structural and system requirements, approvals, costs, and demand. We help identify opportunities for further evaluation with architects, engineers, land-use professionals, and other specialists.
