Office tenant representation in New Jersey

An office advisor for your business, from size and layout to location and competitive lease terms.

You work with TILT, and we bring in the right advisor for you: a specialist in businesses like yours, with local market expertise. We lead your engagement from the first conversation through the signed lease.

No cost to you. In commercial leasing, the landlord pays the commission.

Why office experience matters.

In office space, a missed detail can follow your business for the length of the lease. Your advisor knows what to ask, so those details come first.
The rent stayed the same. The taxes didn't. The building had a PILOT, a tax agreement with the town in place of standard property taxes, set to expire during the lease. It was never confirmed ahead of time, and when it ended, the taxes passed through to the tenant rose sharply.
The space fit. The parking lot didn't. The building had fewer parking spaces than is standard in the market, and the count was never confirmed. By late morning most spaces were gone, leaving none for clients or visitors.
The office was sized for hybrid work. The restrooms weren't. The space was planned for part of the team on any given day. When everyone came in, the restrooms couldn't keep up.
The landlord paid for the build-out. Not the demolition. The work letter, the lease's construction terms, never defined the condition of the space at delivery. The new tenant paid to tear out the last tenant's offices.

Your Estimate

Reference this range when choosing your square footage on your requirements form.

This estimate is based on your inputs. Your advisor will refine the actual square footage requirements based on your specific layout and use.

How we calculated this range

This estimate uses 140–170 sq ft/seat (balanced workstyle), then adjusts based on your inputs:

  • Seat count factors in your hybrid schedule (3 days/week) and 10% growth buffer.
  • Balanced workstyle adjusts space for meeting/conference rooms and collaboration areas.

How does TILT get these details right?

It starts with who you hire. A firm's name or market share won't tell an office tenant whether the broker can spot what a lease or work letter leaves out. Two things get these details right:

Who does the work

  • The right advisor

    Chosen for a verified track record in businesses like yours and your local market.

How the work is run

  • The same steps, every engagement

    We lead each one, and your advisor brings the market and building knowledge.

How it works

What does working with TILT look like for an office tenant?

We lead each step, with your advisor alongside you.

Step 1

Your advisor

It starts with the requirements form, covering the size, location and timing you need. We use it to bring in an advisor from our network who specializes in businesses like yours. Specialties include professional services (finance, accounting, legal, consulting, real estate and insurance), marketing and advertising, technology and life sciences, customer service and operations centers, healthcare and medical practices, education, training and nonprofits, and headquarters offices.

Step 2

First contact

TILT reaches out to confirm the details and set up a conversation with your advisor. Afterward, you decide whether to move forward.

Step 3

Options

We check each space against your requirements, with your advisor's read on the building, before it reaches your list.

Step 4

Tours

On each tour, your advisor assesses whether the space fits how your team works and asks questions beyond what the listing covers.

Step 5

Proposals and Negotiation

We request proposals from the landlords of your shortlisted spaces, compare the economics side by side and negotiate on your behalf, with your advisor's read on what the market will support. The key terms are explained, including the costs passed through to you on top of rent.

Step 6

Letter of intent

The letter of intent, the short summary of terms that comes before the lease, sets the business terms you've agreed to, including what the landlord delivers and when.

Step 7

Lease review

Your attorney handles the legal review of the lease. We make sure the terms agreed in the letter of intent are reflected in the lease.

Step 8

Signed lease

After you sign, we're still your resource. If something comes up with your landlord, such as a delivery condition that wasn't met, an operating expense charge you don't understand or a problem with building management, we'll help you understand where you stand and advocate for you.

Questions

Don't see your question? Ask in the chat at the bottom right.

Yours. We represent tenants only, and TILT is never on both sides of a lease negotiation. If your advisor's firm lists one of your options, we'll tell you up front. In New Jersey, the landlord pays a market commission to the tenant's representative, so you're never billed.

No. Advisors pay nothing to join our network, and no one can pay for a place on your engagement.

If the work is going well, you may not need to. TILT fits when you want an advisor who specializes in businesses like yours and a firm that leads your engagement through the signed lease. A call is an easy way to compare, with no commitment.

Earlier than you might expect. Whether you're renewing, relocating or leasing a new space, starting early gives you leverage: time to compare real options and negotiate without a deadline forcing your hand. Permits, build-out and landlord work can also add months before you move in.

Office tenants from 2,500 SF and up, including professional services (finance, accounting, legal, consulting, real estate and insurance), marketing and advertising, technology and life sciences, customer service and operations centers, healthcare and medical practices, education, training and nonprofits, and headquarters offices. Every engagement runs through the same steps, regardless of size.

No. We focus on finding the right space and getting the terms right. The move, the build-out and tracking lease dates after you sign stay with you. TILT stays a resource for anything that comes up during the lease term.
