What I Do

Strategy.
Execution.
Every market.

I bridge the gap most brokers can't — between deep analytics and the strategic narrative that moves decisions. I design the solution, activate the right local team, and deliver results that a single-market broker simply cannot replicate.

    Complex Lease Negotiation

    Distressed buildings, CMBS debt, TI structures, SNDAs — I understand what's inside the deal and how to use it as leverage. For owner-users with excess space, I apply the same discipline to disposition strategy and sublease execution.

Why Chase Bourdelaise

The gap other
brokers can't close.

Most brokers have either the market knowledge or the analytical depth. Very few have both. Fewer still can translate either into a deliverable that changes how a board, a CFO, or a landlord responds.

01

Analytics That Drive Strategy

I build the financial models, the NER calculations, the benchmarking — and translate them into a negotiation narrative that moves landlords and informs boards.

02

Financial Statement Fluency

I structure deals around your financial objectives — P&L sensitivity, EBITDA impact, balance sheet constraints, debt capacity, and capex exposure. Real estate decisions made in the language of your CFO.

03

C-Suite & Board Experience

I have presented to and partnered with C-suite executives and boards throughout my career. I understand how they make decisions, what they need to feel confident, and how to structure recommendations that move at their speed.

04

Globally Coordinated, Locally Delivered

A unified strategy spanning every market in your portfolio, executed by the right local team in each city — managed and accountable to me.

05

Occupiers & Owner-Users. Always.

My practice is built around tenants, occupiers, and owner-users — not institutional landlords. Whether you lease, own, or are deciding between the two, my interests are structurally aligned with yours.

06

Proprietary Deliverables

My clients receive analysis, presentations, and strategic documents that no other broker produces. The quality of the work is proof of capability before the deal even begins.

07

Deep Market Intelligence

I understand the building's debt structure, the landlord's leverage position, and the market's supply dynamics — before I recommend a strategy.

08

Speed Without Sacrifice

Proprietary tools and streamlined workflows mean faster turnarounds on analysis — without compromising the precision that protects your interests.

09

A True Adviser, Not Just a Broker

I am a strategic partner to the organizations I serve — embedded in the decision process, not transactional. Clients retain me across portfolios, markets, and years because the relationship compounds.
