Opinionated

Ethos negotiates reduced rent, phased occupancy, and significant concessions for creative agency

Ethos Commercial Advisors was engaged by Opinionated, a premier Portland-based creative agency, to evaluate strategic options for growth. With a rapidly expanding team and client roster, the firm required additional space to foster collaboration while maintaining its distinctive brand identity.

Ethos conducted a comprehensive market analysis, exploring both relocation opportunities within Portland’s creative corridor and expansion within the agency’s existing building. By capitalizing on Ethos’ market knowledge of elevated vacancy rates and tenant-favorable market conditions, Ethos was able to create an opportunity to restructure Opinionated’s lease on highly advantageous terms.

Through targeted negotiation, Ethos secured a lease that provided reduced rent, phased occupancy, and meaningful landlord concessions, enabling Opinionated to reinvest in its business while strengthening its long-term position. The decision to expand in place preserved the agency’s creative culture, operational efficiency, and brand presence, ensuring continued success in the years ahead.
