Corporate Relocation to Houston & New Jersey
We help companies move corporate offices, warehouses, and retail operations to Houston, Texas and Northern & Central New Jersey. Site selection, cost modeling, lease negotiation, and coordination with your legal, HR, and IT teams — one broker running the destination side end-to-end.
No Direct Cost on the New Lease
Destination-side broker fee is paid by the landlord out of the listing commission at lease execution. Same fee structure as any tenant representation engagement.
Both Markets, Both Directions
Licensed in Texas (TREC #842584) and New Jersey (Broker #0894102). We handle inbound moves to Houston, inbound moves to NJ, and moves between them.
Coordinated with Your Team
We work alongside your CFO, HR, IT, tax counsel, and moving vendor — one broker running the destination side end-to-end.
Why Companies Hire a Broker for a Corporate Move
A corporate relocation is not one negotiation — it is a stack of them. The lease is only the visible surface. Underneath it sit the employee-impact plan, the tax and incentive package, the exit from your incumbent lease, the TI build-out, and the coordination with your movers, IT team, and general contractor. A CFO handling this in parallel with running the business will typically miss 20–35% of available concessions on the destination lease alone — and considerably more on the incentive side.
Bulldog Broker Group runs the destination side of your move as your representative. We walk the market, model the total occupancy cost, negotiate the LOI and the lease, coordinate with the state and municipal EDCs on incentives, and stay engaged through construction and occupancy. On the destination lease, our fee is paid by the landlord — meaning your company gets professional representation without out-of-pocket cost on the biggest single expense in the move.
What a Relocation Engagement Includes
Six workstreams — the destination side of a corporate move, coordinated with your internal team.
Submarket Selection & Site Search
Full inventory canvass of Class A office, industrial, flex, and retail matching your program. Includes off-market and pre-market inventory through the Coldwell Banker Commercial network.
Total Occupancy Cost Modeling
Side-by-side comparison of 3–5 finalists across base rent, escalations, TI amortization, opex pass-throughs, and free rent. All-in cost per SF per year, not just headline.
Employee Impact Planning
Residential submarket mapping so the destination office is near where relocating employees will actually want to live. Retention data suggests this changes acceptance rates by 15–20%.
Timeline & Escrow Management
LOI through occupancy on a defensible timeline, coordinated with your incumbent lease exit so peak double-rent exposure is minimized.
Tax & Incentive Coordination
Coordination with state and municipal EDCs (Greater Houston Partnership, NJEDA) to identify Chapter 380 / Grow NJ / other incentives you qualify for — some require pre-commitment application.
Post-Move Integration
We stay engaged through TI construction, punch-list, and first-year occupancy so the originally-negotiated terms are actually delivered — not renegotiated later.
One Relationship. Three Arms of the Move.
Corporate relocations touch three vendor categories at minimum — real estate, freight, and construction. We co-own the freight and construction arms so all three sit under one accountable relationship instead of a tri-vendor hand-off.
Freight & logistics arm
FMCSA-licensed motor carrier out of Houston. Handles the physical logistics side of industrial, warehouse, and manufacturing relocations — shipping inventory, machinery, and oversized freight from origin to destination.
Commercial & industrial construction arm
Full-scope commercial and industrial construction partner — renovations, repair, additions, and ground-up. On a relocation that means TI build-out at the new space, move-in prep, move-out make-ready, and post-move punch-list, coordinated with the same team that runs your CRE and freight side.
Freight Dynamics and 2FG Construction operate as independent legal entities with their own contracts and insurance — but the ownership overlap means one person is accountable for the whole move end-to-end, not three finger-pointing vendors.
Our Process — Discovery Through Occupancy
Discovery & Program
Space program, headcount, industry, timeline, budget, and geography captured in a written brief. Includes employee residential map and tax/incentive scoping call with your CFO.
Submarket Selection
Filtered shortlist of 2–3 destination submarkets based on your program, employee residential preferences, and industry cluster. Delivered as a written recommendation before any tours.
Tour & Financial Modeling
Coordinated tour of 8–15 buildings across finalist submarkets. Comparative TCO model delivered as we tour, so decision inputs are on the table before LOIs go out.
LOI & Lease Negotiation
Parallel LOI process on top 2–3 buildings to preserve leverage. Rent, concessions, TI allowance, expansion rights, and renewal economics negotiated through lease execution.
TI, Move, and First Year
TI construction coordination, timeline management with your mover, and first-year occupancy oversight. Our engagement ends when you are in the space and the terms are being delivered.
