Expansion Location Advisory
Growth forces a location question: expand in place, open a second site, or move. BigSpace advises companies planning expansion on where the next office, plant or warehouse should be — and on how to structure the property so it can grow again without another move.
Who This Service Is For
- Companies opening a second city
- Operations that have outgrown a first facility
- Groups adding a new function that needs different talent
How We Work
Requirement assessment
A structured brief covering operations, area, specifications, budget, timeline and the constraints that cannot move.
Sourcing & shortlist
Published stock plus the off-market pool — developers, landlords, occupiers exiting or assigning — filtered against the brief.
Evaluation & due diligence
Title, approvals, measured area, utilities and access verified before a site visit is arranged.
Commercial comparison
A like-for-like matrix of total occupancy or acquisition cost, not headline rate.
Negotiation & transaction
Terms benchmarked against comparable deals actually closed, then documentation and registration coordinated to completion.
After-sales support
A named advisor stays on the account: handover, renewals, expansion, disputes and an annual review.
What We Evaluate
- Expand-in-place versus new site, on cost and disruption
- Talent for the new function by location
- Connectivity between existing and new sites
- Expansion rights and phasing in the new property
- Lease and capital structure across the enlarged estate
Frequently Asked Questions
Should we expand where we are?
Often the cheapest option in the short term and the most constraining in the long term. We model both against the growth plan rather than defaulting to either.
How do we avoid moving again in three years?
By negotiating expansion rights, phased take-up and contiguous options into the lease now, which is far cheaper than a second relocation.
Do you support multi-city expansion?
Yes, with corporate location advisory for the city choice and site selection for each location, run by one team.
