Why Optimal Spaces Tenant Broker
- Lease negotiation: full terms, renewals, expansion options
- Cost analysis, inventory identification, negotiating scope
- Risk mitigation against hidden pitfalls
Cost Savings
- Negotiate 30+ leasing points to prevent hidden costs
- Save 10–15% on total leasing costs
- Save 100–200 hours filtering unviable spaces
- Property access via broker databases and networks (off-market, subleases, future availability)
Alone or With Other Brokers

- Risk of weaker terms and overlooked hidden costs
- Heavy workload falls on you while best spaces are missed

C2 Media Testimonial
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to highly commend Robert King for his professional assistance in helping me locate a new corporate office.
Locating the right space takes time, and I was impressed with Robert’s patience not only with myself but with my overseas executives. He never tired of our endless meetings and requests.
We found a space we love. And in spite of us concluding our deal, Robert every so often comes by to chat and make sure all is going well professionably and personally.
I enthusiastically recommend Robert and Optimal Spaces to anyone looking for space in New York City.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Pabon
