We first started working with Silverman & Trykowski Associates (STA) over a dozen years ago via a mutual client, who wanted to use his own architect – STA! That was the beginning of a long relationship between our firms as we each referred clients to one another over the years.  Both of our firms share the same philosophy – we take pride in the solutions we provide to our clients.  We worked to relocate them once again to 2,569 sf of space at 308 Congress Street, Boston.

“ All of us at STA want to thank The Stevens Group for once again finding us our wonderful new office.”

Profile:

Labthink International, Inc. is a global enterprise that provides professional quality control solutions for packaging materials and products. Headquartered In China, Labthink is a privately held company with more than 50 international distributors and over 30 international service providers. They contacted us to help them find their first location in the U.S. for administration, sales and testing operations.

The Solution:

Finding the right space was the easy part, introducing them to the real estate process, legal issues and customs of doing business in the U.S., was the exciting part. The founders needed space close to the city, with good public transportation and close proximity to the airport and the image that would reflect their company and future. The principals were only in town for a few days and needed to secure space before going back to China. After three days of touring space options, and intense negotiating sessions, they returned to China with a lease commitment on new space for their U.S. headquarters with Landlords that understood their mission and needs.

“We came to Boston from a foreign country to establish our very first presence in the United States. Albeit the culture difference and language barrier, The Stevens Group were able to capture precisely what we wanted and needed and negotiated on our behalf. With their depth of knowledge of the commercial real estate market, they found us the perfect space. And that was only the beginning of what they did for us. They helped and supported us with every aspect of our start-up operations relying on their breadth of network and business expertise. The Stevens Group have been, and will continue to be, our lifetime business partner.”

Profile:

LeMaitre Vascular is a leading global provider of innovative medical devices for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. We first started working with LeMaitre when they were a young start-up in 1995. Today they are a growing, publicly held company with 50 locations around the globe. LeMaitre needed to extend the lease term on their two existing facilities, and needed additional expansion space.

Solution:

Picking up and moving to another location was not an option, given their investment in the existing facility and the need to make additional improvements to expand manufacturing. With only 4 years remaining on the existing lease, it didn’t make sense to invest more money without a longer-term lease. After looking at all of the options in the market, we went back to the existing landlord, who initially didn’t want to discuss a lease extension with 4 years remaining on the lease, and negotiated a below market rent for an additional 6 year term combined with an additional 16,000 sf of expansion space.

“Securing longer term leases for our existing facilities and adding additional expansion space were key components of our business plan going forward. The Stevens Group, as a trusted strategic partner, guided us through the process and negotiated on our behalf to produce the best possible results. Their in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and vast experience have been invaluable to us as we expand.”
