SERVICES

The Government Services at KW Commercial (KWGS) team is highly skilled in the ability to evaluate the land and building resources that a government entity has under their jurisdiction. We review the assets and work with the entity to develop a prioritized list of the resources. Based on the entity’s needs and desires, we recommend which properties to hold, sell and/or lease. We can identify which land, underutilized sites (e.g., brown or grey field properties), or existing buildings (e.g. current and/or former schools, DPW facilities, police, fire, or town halls) are best to develop or redevelop into productive, taxable sites. We will help to get the highest and best prices for any sale and/or lease options.

Some government entities' regulations state that tax deeded properties must be disposed through an auction or sealed bid process. Our teams allow the government entity to quickly sell properties using industry experts, reducing maintenance and carrying costs.

 Our auctioneers work to keep all potential buyers engaged in each sale. They cast the largest net possible by using online bidding software that helps to create competition. 

Using all mandated forms, our team members work quickly to have winning bidders under agreement shortly after an auction or sealed bid process has been completed.

Our Government Services advisors specializing in brokerage and assemblage possess an exceptional understanding of the complex factors that influence the land brokerage transaction and have the extensive experience and contacts to get the deal done right. Our associates provide solutions based on constantly evolving factors such as zoning and regulatory issues, demographic and traffic patterns, and overall political and economic trends. 

Expanding on the fundamentals of brokerage, our associates ensure that the client’s unique business considerations are addressed and that the negotiation process is a win-win. Working in coordination with our other specialties, our land brokerage services offer a solid and well-rounded approach to land acquisition and disposition.

KWGS offers consulting services related to the improvement, expansion or change and adaptation of a present use of a property, to a higher and better use or state. Our team provides a wide range of high quality, cost-effective land and energy planning services for government agencies, private landowners, developers and other interested parties. 

As needed, we team with expert specialty consultants to complement our staff and address all matters that might arise on a project. Our intent is to foster long-term relations with reputable parties and like-minded groups to produce well conceived projects. While working on these efforts, we are proud to stand by our character, quality of work, and the continued betterment of the communities that we work in. We can also provide market analysis to identify current conditions for specific development markets.

Whether you are a commercial property owner, investor, or portfolio manager, KWGS' team of subject matter experts can assist you in reviewing opportunities and negotiating leases to secure government tenants.  

Our national team can help facilitate many avenues of government lease opportunities. We provide market rate analysis, develop competitive proposal bids, and facilitate the registration of properties with federal, state and local entities.

Many Government entities have limited resources to use in paying for new buildings, recreational facilities, roads, and/or other functions of government operations. What many entities may not realize is that they have assets available to them that may either not be needed any longer and can be sold, or can be repurposed through long-term leases (e.g., former schools, public buildings, or land).

KWGS understands the fine line many entities must follow to both produce revenue streams and provide public resources their constituents have come to expect. We work with the appropriate staff to develop a program to monetize marketable assets (MMA) that will address revenue priorities. We then work with senior management and their counsel to validate the MMA program interest.

Finding the right office space entails many considerations and complications beyond simply finding the right location. Office tenant representation demands knowledge of local market conditions and trends, as well as a keen set of negotiating skills to successfully structure a client’s lease document. Tracking rents, rent concessions, operating expense pass-throughs, changes in technology and other factors are part of what KWGS is dedicated to knowing.
