The national office vacancy rate was 19.7 percent as of April, down 20 basis points from the previous month, but up 140 basis points year-over-year, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/commercialedge-office-report-april-2025-2\/\">recent CommercialEdge report<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, mostly fueled by some organizations implementing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/return-to-office-traffic-reaches-record-level\/\">return-to-office mandates<\/a>, office renewals and expansion deals are still taking place. Accesso, for example, has signed nearly 112,000 square feet in lease expansions across its mixed-use, office and retail portfolio over the last 12 months. The Florida-based commercial real estate investment manager, owner and operator signed expansion agreements at six of its properties across the Southeast. What was Accesso&#8217;s strategy to determine tenants to renew and\/or expand their leases? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an exclusive talk with <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>, Chief Asset Officer Paul Gaines weighed in on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-industry-trends\/\">office space trends<\/a> and shared details about how to cater to tenants&#8217; needs today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What strategies have worked for you so far when it comes to retaining and attracting office tenants? Tell us more about a couple of lease renewals you signed recently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gaines:<\/strong> As an owner and operator that facilitates consistent communication with all of our tenants, we\u2019re in an excellent position to address their needs early on in the process so that companies can better determine their long-term space requirements\u2014whether they\u2019re looking to expand, resize, refresh or reconfigure their existing spaces. To that end, we make it a point to contact tenants well before their lease termination dates so that we can understand their future needs and ensure we\u2019re providing a solution moving forward. In many cases, this results in an early renewal. This high-touch communication strategy also plays naturally into attracting new tenants, as prospective firms experience our process and ability to accommodate a wide variety of needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/what-office-workers-want-the-most\/\">What Office Workers Want the Most<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent examples include our long-term renewal and expansion for The Imagine Group at Innovation Park in Charlotte, N.C., which involved a close collaboration with the tenant to determine how we could best configure its space to leverage the newly renovated indoor and outdoor areas of the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example is our expansion for Watches of Switzerland, a British watch retailer, at The Atrium at Broken Sound in Boca Raton, Fla. We were able to work in lockstep with the tenant well ahead of their lease expiration to figure out that they\u2019d need more space in the near future, and we implemented a creative plan to provide it to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In your view, how much did return-to-office policies impact the surge in renewals and\/or expansions at your properties?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gaines:<\/strong> It has certainly had a positive influence. Prior to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/fti-experts-hub-how-would-employees-react-to-return-to-office-rules\/\">push for RTO<\/a>, when the office environment was more uncertain, many tenants were finding themselves in the position of having to find space that would work for them as their leases reached expiration. Spec suites or pre-built spaces designed to be move-in ready without extensive tenant improvements are one solution that addresses tenants\u2019 desires for fresh space configured to their growing needs without having to relocate to a new property. It\u2019s always easier to stay in a current space than move, if at all possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, as RTO is more common, we remain focused on meeting the requirements of our tenants that have renewals coming up in the next 12 to 18 months. One way to address this without having a tenant wait until its lease expires is to offer &#8216;blend and extend&#8217; agreements through which a tenant agrees to extend their lease term while negotiating a new, blended rate that combines their current and new rates.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1004761702\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/exclusive-accesso-exec-on-office-leasing-strategies-that-work\/atrium-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/06\/Atrium.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"5408,3600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Atrium.
