Keyser launches Office Space Calculator iOS app

Keyser, an innovative commercial real estate advisory firm exclusively representing tenants globally, has launched the Keyser Office Space Calculator iOS app to help office tenants quickly estimate how much potential office space they need. For years, company executives have struggled to accurately calculate their office space needs. The options prior to the creation of Keyser's new app were either to use an overly generalized s/f per employee industry estimate, various excel spreadsheets, or a cumbersome and time consuming process requiring that the company hire a qualified architect/space planner. "The new Keyser iPhone app is simple, user friendly, and in 5 - 7 minutes, can give the average office user a good feel for how much space they need," said Jonathan Keyser, founder of Keyser. To demonstrate the app's functionality, Keyser created the attached links illustrating how the app was used to reverse engineer both the Beats By Dre HQ as well as Lyft's San Francisco office: * Beats By Dre HQ: http://www.keyserco.com/a-break-down-of-the-beats-by-dre-office-space/ * Lyft's San Francisco office: http://www.keyserco.com/lyft-headquarters-san-francisco-office/ "We have been looking across the commercial real estate landscape for years trying to find a better solution than the status quo. After not liking any of the options we identified, we finally decided to create this app to fill this void and help companies across the globe with their real estate planning." The app won't replace architects or space planners who are still essential for the space design process, but in five to seven minutes, it provides a quick calculation for how much square footage is needed and can help negate wasted time, energy, and resources used to look at properties that are simply inadequate for the company's requirements. "It's a slick, clean, and simple app. We designed it to be intuitive and very easy to use," says Keyser. The Keyser Office Space Calculator is now available for download on iTunes, and user feedback is highly encouraged: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keyser-office-space-calculator/id931228445?mt=8

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking

Tri-state capital migrates nationally amid regulation pressure - by Reese Weaver

New York tri-state multifamily investors are increasingly reallocating capital to less-regulated markets across the U.S. as rent control and legislative risk erode returns at home. With over 60% of New York City’s rental housing stock classified as rent-stabilized, the traditional value-add model — buying under-performing buildings,
