COVID has had some unexpected and positive lasting effects on how we go about daily lives. When it comes to commercial real estate, the obvious one is the new hybrid work model. This new model results in office occupiers often being able to operate the same business with less office space. This new trend means landlords are taking back more space than ever when leases expire. We are also seeing more tenants, who are tied to leases, listing their space for sub-lease. This results in some advantages to tenants who are shopping for new office space.

1. The vacancy rate is high which means landlords are often sharpening their pencils to attract tenants to their vacant spaces.
2. Tenants are comparing market rents being advertised by landlords with sub-lease opportunities which are often discounted or, at least, very negotiable.
3. Tenants have the opportunity to align their physical footprint to their current and future requirements.
4. If downsizing, tenants can save on their monthly overhead or upgrade the quality of their space for the same rent resulting in space that is nicer, smarter or both!

The first step in right-sizing your office is to determine how your current office space is working for you. Once you understand your needs you may realize you need to shrink your space, move or lock the doors and turn off the lights. “Lock the doors and turn off the lights” might seems like a drastic move but if you don’t need the space and can successfully sub-let it, you may be able to drastically cut your losses. If you are tied to a lease but your space is no longer working for you, sub-letting your space is an option. Some landlords, in order to attract you to their building, may even make it attractive for you to move mid-lease.

Brunswick Brokers is pleased to have facilitated the leasing of office space in CenterBeam place by Greenergy Fuels Canada. Greenergy is an international distributor of transport fuels, marketing in the UK, Ireland and Canada. In addition to their European offices, they have offices in Saint John, Toronto and Houston to serve their expanding North American business.

In Saint John, they were most recently leasing office space at 107 Germain Street above Italian-by-Night but the space was no longer functional for the way the organization works and they found a more suitable office suite in CenterBeam Place. “This new space is a game changer for us. It allows a much more effective use of the space we are leasing.” Says Jill Miller the Renewables Growth and Compliance Manager for the company.

CenterBeam Place consists of a city block of heritage buildings built in 1878-1880 and restored in the early 2000’s. The interior features exposed brick & beams, ample natural light and wheelchair accessibility. Property features landscaped courtyard gardens with many amenities on site including: coffee shop, restaurant, banking and more. A much sought-after location for any company seeking an unparalleled work environment of beauty and efficiency.

Stephanie Turner, Senior Advisor, Brunswick Brokers Limited brokered the deal.

Brunswick Brokers Limited is pleased to announce that 241 Union Street, Saint John has sold! The property is located in the Waterloo Village area across from the office building known by locals as “The Golden Ball”. The Union Street property features a ground floor commercial condo and 4 upper floor residential condos which are all currently rented out. The ground floor commercial space is now being renovated by the new owner and will soon be occupied by her business The Vagabond Studios. The Property was one of the earlier small condominium buildings in Saint John, and was very well maintained by the property manager, Leading Edge Property Solutions.

Before acquiring the property, The Vagabond Studio was a vendor at the Area 506 Container Village on Water Street. Rebecca Lavallee, the owner, found success during her time on Water Street but when the village shut down for the season, she went on the hunt for a more permanent location.

The building was previously owned by a corporation controlled by a lawyer in Toronto and who is known to Saint John for his desire to contribute to the improvements of the City; he saw potential in the City and in particular, the Waterloo Village. His business interest also includes a franchise at Brunswick Square known as Print Three which has been in operation since 2008 and he has every interest to expand the business to digital marketing and signage in the near future. He originally bought the building back in 2007, knowing that it has double brick and a steel frame, he gutted all the interiors and modernize the whole building into five spacious condominium units. He is pleased that the property had attracted quite a few prospects, and, in the end, he sold to a buyer with a desire to operate a retail studio on the ground floor which will help contribute to the vibrancy of the area.

Brunswick Brokers Limited is pleased to announce that 384 Lancaster Avenue, Saint John has been sold again. The property is located in west Saint John not far from Reversing Falls Bridge and features a 25,000+/- sq ft commercial building on 1.91 acres of land.  Unfortunately it’s too soon to announce publicly what the new owner’s plans are.

This is the second time this property has traded hands in the past 4 years. It sold previously in 2018 when T4G Limited struck a deal with Nuuvera Inc. As part of the acquisition, Nuuvera had successfully rezoned the property to allow it to be used as a laboratory for the testing and production of medicinal cannabis oils. The property was never used for cannabis processing and in late 2021, the owners determined that the property was no longer required by their company and listed it for sale.

Brunswick Brokers Limited is thrilled to have worked with Acre Architects (www.theacre.ca) on their search for new office space. After many great years at 87 Canterbury Street it was time for a change. “We loved our space on Canterbury, but accessibility and connection to our community was a challenge on a 3rd floor without an elevator. We wanted a fresh new space where we would be more connected to the heart of the city.”  Acre Architects moved in to suite 110 in Brunswick House on the 1st of October. The space is just off the Brunswick House lobby at 44 Chipman Hill behind the TD bank. Acre Architects new ‘storefront-like’ office features large windows facing City Hall and down towards the waterfront at Market Slip. Acre Architects is a welcome addition to the street front realm with their creative presence.

The space was previously occupied by Bonfire. Wondering where they went? After the Ginger Agency acquired Bonfire back in June of this year, it made strategic sense for everyone to be co-located at 40 King Street.

Stephanie Turner of Brunswick Brokers Limited represented both Landlord (Commercial Properties Limited) and the Tenant (Acre Architects) in this office leasing transaction.
