— Why Tenant Representation

Most brokers represent landlords. We represent you.

The typical commercial real estate broker has landlord listings and tenant clients simultaneously. Every decision they make sits inside that conflict. They can’t recommend a competing property without costing themselves a commission. They can’t push too hard on a landlord relationship they’ll need next month.

The Giles Group represents occupiers only. No landlord listings. No competing allegiances. Every market survey, every lease negotiation, every property recommendation is developed for one purpose: your best outcome.

— What we do

Three asset classes. One advisory standard.

Pillar · 01

Office

High vacancy in the Nashville office market creates real leverage for tenants. We help professional services firms, technology companies, and corporate occupiers negotiate better lease economics and secure spaces that support talent and growth.

Pillar · 02

Industrial

Industrial decisions live and die on infrastructure. We represent manufacturers, distributors, and logistics operators across Middle Tennessee’s industrial corridor — with power, clear height, and loading specifications verified before any LOI is submitted.

Pillar · 03

Retail

The right location is a revenue decision, not a real estate one. We help multi-location operators, luxury brands, and experiential concepts secure sites that actually drive revenue — with demographic underwriting, co-tenancy strategy, and retail-specific lease negotiation.

— The Process

Define. Underwrite. Create Leverage. Execute.

Every assignment follows the same four-step advisory framework. Structured to reduce risk, improve clarity, and create real negotiating leverage.

Stage 01

Define

Understand business goals, operational requirements, and financial constraints before a single property is evaluated.

Stage 02

Underwrite

Analyze the market, model total occupancy cost, and evaluate every option against a disciplined framework.

Stage 03

Create Leverage

Introduce competition, structure alternatives, and position the client to negotiate from strength.

Stage 04

Execute

Manage the transaction from negotiation through documentation and occupancy, with no handoff to a junior team.
