Transform Business Outcomes
Own vs. Lease
Evaluate whether leasing or owning real estate is right for your company, an important consideration for businesses motivated to secure cost certainty and potential equity.
A Strategic Workplace Approach
Every business has unique real estate needs. CBRE provides tailored advice and a clear property strategy to help office occupier make the right decision at the right time.
Together, we assess your current office situation through a comprehensive review covering:
- your existing office lease agreement and contractual obligations
- the alignment between your office size and actual occupancy
- employee commuting patterns and accessibility
- the building’s compliance with ESG, sustainability and corporate reporting requirements
- the financial and operational impact of staying versus relocating
By combining local market expertise in Luxembourg, global best practices and advanced workplace tools, including commute analysis, we help identify the most effective scenario for your organisation.
This may include renegotiating your current lease, adapting your existing workplace or relocating to a building that better meets your needs.
Office lease renegotiation
If your current offices still support your business needs but your lease terms require review, CBRE can help you renegotiate from a stronger position.
Our experts analyse your existing office lease agreement in detail, assessing key contractual, financial and operational elements. We help answer critical questions such as:
- Can the current office space be optimised?
- Are there opportunities to reduce costs or improve flexibility?
- Could your business expand within the same building?
- Are the current lease terms still aligned with conditions in the Luxembourg office market?
- Does the building meet your future ESG and workplace requirements?
CBRE represents your interests throughout the negotiation process with the landlord, helping you secure terms that better reflect your business objectives and the realities of the current office market.
Office relocation
Relocating your offices can be a strategic opportunity to improve accessibility, reduce costs, enhance employee experience or move into a building with stronger energy and sustainability performance.
CBRE supports your office relocation from the initial analysis through to implementation. Our approach includes:
- identifying and comparing available office space on the Luxembourg market
- assessing the financial impact of relocation, including rent, taxes, fit-out costs, capex and operating expenses
- analysing accessibility, employee commuting patterns and workplace experience
- preparing feasibility studies and space plans with our Workplace & Design Consulting team
- negotiating the new office lease agreement on your behalf
- coordinating the design, fit-out and delivery of your new workplace where required
From market search to move-in, our teams help ensure your relocation is carefully planned, financially sound and aligned with your wider business strategy.
Should You Renegotiate Your Lease or Relocate?
Renegotiating your lease may be the right option when your current building, location and office space continue to meet your operational needs, but the contractual or financial conditions could be improved.
Relocation may be more appropriate when your current offices no longer support your headcount, workplace strategy, accessibility requirements or sustainability objectives.
CBRE compares both scenarios based on their total financial impact, operational feasibility and long-term value, helping you make an objective and informed decision.
