“We bought Garnet Quay at 81 percent. It's at 58. We need it near 90 before the fund's sale window opens in 2030, and we need to know which of our dollars gets it there.”

Months to the sale window

The fund can sell from March 2030. Value at sale is rent roll, and rent roll is leases.

Four things we heard on the tour.

From Marcus's walk-through on October 14 and the brief that followed.

  1. Tenants tour and choose the newer tower across the quay.The lobby reads 1989. The empty floors are dark shells nobody can picture working in.
  2. The insurer on 6 and 7 hasn't been called.80,000 square feet expire in eight months and nobody has opened renewal talks.
  3. Concessions keep climbing.The last three deals gave fourteen months of free rent. Net effective rent is where the value goes.
  4. The fund needs a plan the committee can underwrite.A pipeline of names is no use to an investment committee. It needs months, rents and value, by quarter.

Lease the tower yourself.

These are the ten groups touring or in proposal with us today, anonymized the way we'd keep them in a live pipeline. Drag one onto a floor, or tap it and then tap a floor. Full-floor users need that many empty floors in a row. Tap a placed lease to take it back off.

    Thirty-six months, in order.

    The first week we call the insurer on 6 and 7. The first quarter we relaunch the building to every tenant broker in the market. The spec suites open in month seven, the lobby in month fourteen.

    “What is Garnet Quay worth on the day we can sell it?”

    Helena, Fund CIO. Owns the exit.

    Sell at month40
    Month 12Month 48
    Occupied at sale96.7%
    Value at sale$756M
    Added since today$427M

    The window opens at month 40, in March 2030. On our plan the building is past 90 percent by month 27, so the fund has a full year of signed, paying leases to show a buyer before the window opens.

    Move the slider to see the cost of waiting or rushing. Selling at month 24 takes about $82 million off the price, because the family office, the last suite and the insurer haven't signed. After month 34 the line goes flat. Floor 17 is the only one left, and we'd hold it for the right user.

    Every figure here comes from the plan on the previous floors, at a 6.5 percent cap rate. Change the cap rate and the shape holds.

    “Who's about to walk out, and what are you doing about it?”

    Marcus, Asset Manager. Runs the building day to day.

    “What do we pay you, when, and what if leasing stalls?”

    Ines, CFO. Signs the fee agreement.

    Commissions, paid only on signed leasesFixed fees
    Fee at this pace$9.60M
    Fixed part$0.62M
    Share of value added2.3%

    About 94 percent of the fee is commission, earned only when a lease is signed and paid half at signing, half when rent starts. If leasing runs at half our pace, the fee roughly halves with it. The fixed lines pay for the spec suites, the relaunch and your quarterly reporting, and they're the only money at risk if we underdeliver.

    “Show us the downside before you show us the plan.”

    The investment committee, five members. Approves the mandate and the capital.

    Occupied at month 3093.5%
    Value at month 30$720M
    Our fee$9.60M

    Every prospect from the pipeline signs on our timing and asking rents hold.

    What we do about it

      The fee, line by line.

      One base and five lines you can drop. Each says what you lose without it. Commission rates are fixed for the whole mandate.

      What we'd sign. Everything on. If one line has to go, drop the retail line and lease the ground floor yourselves with the restaurant group already touring. Keep the renewals, because the insurer on 6 and 7 is worth more than anything else on this page.

      The terms, in plain words.

      Exclusive for 36 months

      We're the only leasing broker on Garnet Quay from signing. Every tenant broker in the market is welcome and paid by us out of our commission.

      Commission at $1.85 a foot a year

      New leases at $1.85 per square foot per lease year, renewals at $0.85. Half is paid at signing, half when rent starts.

      You can end it from month 12

      On 60 days' notice, for any reason. We keep commission on leases already in proposal for 180 days after, and we'll give you that list on the day.

      No fee on your own relationships

      Expansions by Wharfedge's other portfolio tenants carry no commission, and you can name up to five more relationships at signing.

      You approve every deal

      Nothing signs without Marcus. Any lease over two floors or with more than ten months of free rent goes to the committee first.

      Reporting every quarter

      Pipeline, rents achieved, concessions and a valuation note for the committee, in the format your fund administrator uses.

      What's still open.

      1. Is the lobby budget approved? Our 27 months assume the lobby opens in month 14. If the committee holds it until 2027, add about four months.
      2. Should floors 16 and 17 wait for one user? We'd hold them to month 24 for the insurer in proposal. If you'd rather split them now, they lease faster at a lower rent.
      3. Will the fund extend past 2030? If it can, the case for the roof terrace changes, and we'd revisit it at month 18.

      Top floor. Sign it.
