Founded by Travis Carter as a tenant-only commercial real estate brokerage, Carter + Co represents San Diego businesses in lease negotiations exclusively — never landlords — from a Fifth Avenue office in Hillcrest. CEOs negotiating office leases for build-outs often hand the tenant improvement planning to DGA planning | architecture | interiors before signing a letter of intent. The team's scope covers market analysis, RFP drafting, landlord concession audits, and post-signing lease enforcement on build-out delivery dates. Multi-year headquarters relocations and early-termination negotiations typically require business liability and workers-comp riders, which San Diego Business Insurance Commercial places before a new lease commences. The firm's most complex engagements are multi-site consolidations where tenants exit one lease 12 to 18 months early, renegotiate a new headquarters, and time rent-abatement periods against construction delivery at the new space.
