JAMAL BROWN

Principal, The Ocean Company

Since 2003, Jamal has worked in San Diego's commercial real estate industry and has an intimate understanding of the commercial leasing and sales process. For the last 15 years he has assisted clients with the acquisition of over $50 million in investment grade property and negotiated over 1 million square feet in leases. When working together with Jamal, businesses are guaranteed to see every option in the market that will achieve their objectives, whether those are:

1) Renewing/Renegotiating their lease in an existing location

2) Relocating the existing facility

3) Expanding or Contracting

4) Acquiring a new location based on a strategic growth plan

5) Acquiring space as a start-up business

6) Property acquisition or disposition for investors

Through exclusive tenant representation assignments, he has leveled the playing field for his tenant clients and consistently beat market rates, and achieved above average tenant improvement allowances.  Focusing exclusively on the tenant's side of the leasing negotiation eliminates the conflict of interest found with most real estate advisories. Jamal's skill set has come from years of auditing leases, managing commercial real estate operating costs, negotiating leases, restructuring leases early, expanding/contracting/re-configuring existing facilities, property acquisitions, and negotiating specialized improvements for companies in the healthcare, life science and technology industries.
