When Building Ownership Changes or Enters Receivership
What should office tenants be thinking about when building ownership changes hands or enters receivership?
Changes in building ownership — or the appointment of a receiver — can create uncertainty for office tenants. While these transitions often happen behind the scenes, they can have real and immediate implications for lease obligations, building operations, and long-term occupancy strategy. This is precisely the moment when tenants should pause, assess, and ensure they have the right representation working solely in their best interest.
Building ownership changes and receiverships are not just legal or financial events—they are moments that can materially affect a tenant’s cost structure, flexibility, and workplace experience. Tenants who remain passive during these transitions often find themselves reacting rather than leading.
Engaging a conflict-free tenant representative allows organizations to navigate uncertainty with confidence, protect their interests, and make informed real estate decisions — especially when the ground beneath them is shifting.
