Expeditors International, a Fortune 500 global logistics company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, is a leading player in the supply chain solutions industry. With an operational network spanning more than 340 locations in over 100 countries across six continents, the company develops highly customized and optimized solutions through unified and integrated technology systems. In Brazil, the Santos branch plays a strategic role in the company’s port operations, requiring adequate infrastructure to support business growth in the region.
The challenge presented by Expeditors in Santos highlighted the urgent need for relocation due to the space limitations of the current office, which no longer met the company’s operational demands. The situation was further complicated by the approaching contract expiration, creating a limited timeframe to identify, negotiate, and execute the move to a new corporate space. This time pressure required a strategic approach that balanced operational efficiency, cost optimization, and agility in project execution.
Ocupantes Corporate Real Estate developed a customized solution focused on minimizing renovation work, a key strategy for accelerating the relocation process and significantly reducing CAPEX investments. The consultancy prioritized identifying spaces that offered infrastructure suited to Expeditors’ specific needs, eliminating the need for extensive renovations that could jeopardize the deadlines. This approach allowed the company to focus its efforts on commercial negotiations and structuring favorable contract terms for the client.
The transaction resulted in a lease at Condomínio Win Work Santos, a development that fully met Expeditors’ technical and operational requirements. Ocupantes’ agility in negotiations ensured advantageous commercial conditions, optimizing the client’s investment and ensuring uninterrupted operational continuity. This transaction exemplifies the importance of specialized Corporate Real Estate consulting for companies facing relocation challenges in highly complex time and operational scenarios.
