The brief

Following Ferocia’s acquisition by Bendigo & Adelaide Bank, the fast-growing Up Banking team needed a new Melbourne tech HQ that could support significant future growth.

Location, talent attraction and staff experience were central to the brief. Tenant CS combined workplace planning with a broad market search and parallel negotiations to find a space the business could grow into.

Results

1

3,000 sqm secured for long-term growth

The larger footprint gave the business room to scale over the seven-year term, with flexibility to make productive use of growth space in the meantime.

2

Record incentive achieved

The transaction delivered the highest incentive paid in Tenant CS’ Melbourne history at the time, materially improving the economics of the move.

3

Two negotiations created more leverage

An assignment from the exiting tenant and a direct lease with the landlord were negotiated in parallel, strengthening Ferocia’s position.

4

Employee experience takes priority

Employee input helped shape a headquarters designed around how people actually wanted to work, commute and collaborate.
