The Client:

An Indianapolis-based marketing and branding agency that had already expanded their property twice by finishing both the basement and garage.

BaM’s continued growth led to leasing an additional 6,000 square foot two-story building across the street in 2012.

BUT THAT WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH

Working from two separate buildings became too difficult to operate operationally and culturally.

THAT WASN’T EVEN THE WORST PART.

BaM was also having trouble attracting skilled employees who not only could help to capitalize on growth opportunities, but also who were the right cultural fit.

Bradley and Montgomery co-founder Mark Bradley knew something had to change – fast.

“It just got to the point where it was just too spread out.”

– Mark Bradley co-founder, BaM

We had to help Bradley and Montgomery

come together.

But wait… why did BaM choose CARMEN?

BaM worked with CARMEN once in 2004 to purchase their HQ building and again in 2012 during their expansions.

They knew new Chris Carmen of the tenant representation firm, CARMEN Commercial Real Estate, was the only firm in the state who could advocate for their best interests without a fiduciary obligation to a property owner.

Chris developed a strategy as unique as BaM to meet their 4 critical requirements.

1. Large enough to consolidate the 2 Indy locations into one site.

2. Sell the original HQ building.

3. Sublease their secondary leased building across the street.

4. Reflect their brand promise and cultural values that, “anything is possible.”

How is it even possible that BaMwas able to tour the new location, let alone begin a lease negotiation??

Not only did he provide the ideal physical location, Chris Carmen negotiated lease terms that included a complete demolition and remodel of the space to BaM’sspecifications.

As the city's only dedicated tenant advisor, Chris was able to negotiate a lease rate well below market and provided its client with free rent to offset BaM’srelocation costs.
