No one knows working spaces like we do. That’s how we know it takes a bespoke approach to consult effectively on each aspect of the market – which is exactly what we do across asset management and leasing, as well as investment and occupier services.

Landlords

We’ve experienced the evolution of office spaces over the course of our real estate careers, leading the transformation of blue-carpeted cubicles to interior masterpieces.

From investment to sale, we deliver dynamic, design-led strategies that power the entire life-cycle of office assets, creating facilities of the future while increasing value for our clients.

Occupiers

We’re here to help you navigate the post-Covid workplace, with spaces that meet any way of working. The perfect office exists, you just need Sixteen behind you to find it. So,whether you’re looking for your first space or making moves to a new one, let us do our thing.

Retail & Leisure

Growing brand outgrowing your space? Landlord with a tricky asset? Whatever your needs, we’re here to hear them. We take time to get to know your vision, and the challenges you face and in tandem with our knowledge of the current property market we can open up the perfect opportunity.

The high street, shopping centres and mixed-use developments are where we shine, working with a variety of property owners to create exciting line-ups and everyday leasing alike. And while retail and leisure have changed a lot, knowing what’s next has always been our edge. We love having new brands and concepts on our radar, collaborating with independents and curating up-and-coming tenants before they’re big names.

Our relationship with local and regional occupiers makes us the right connection with the relevant advice, assisting you in everything from finding your first site to picking the keys to your flagship.

Building Consultancy

This is where dream properties become reality, whatever your ambitions. Our specialist team provides project management and building consultancy focused on offering a bespoke service to clients of all sectors.

We perform a range roles, from umbrella project management right down to the technical detail, like due diligence reports, contract admin, dilapidations advice, planned preventative maintenance schedules, schedules of condition, building reinstatement cost assessments and defect diagnosis.

While we’re specialists in all areas of building consultancy, we do have a natural talent for reviving dilapidated, under-valued commercial buildings, collaborating across Sixteen and alongside clients to deliver new, sustainably focused refurbishments of otherwise forgotten buildings.
