Case Study: EYA achieves 7% early savings, nearly one-year rent abatement and $1M+ in tenant improvements with Cresa

EYA - Customer Case Study

EYA, a real estate developer with projects across the greater Washington, DC area (Bethesda, Washington, DC, Tysons Corner, Baltimore), faced an upcoming lease expiration and needed to choose a location that would retain existing staff and attract emerging talent. Cresa began advising EYA more than two years before the lease expiry, providing Transaction Management, Project Management and Workplace Intelligence to evaluate options and guide the decision.

Cresa applied integrated services—transaction services, lease forensics, workplace strategy and project management—to renegotiate EYA’s lease at 4800 Hampden Lane, securing 18,617 sq. ft. The agreement kept EYA in walkable downtown Bethesda near transit and amenities and delivered measurable results: 7% savings captured one year early, nearly a full year of rental abatement, and over $1,000,000 in tenant improvement dollars to modernize the workspace.
