Teach For America
Facility Strategy
 
teach-for-america-facility-strategy KBA was engaged by Teach for America (TFA) to assist in the development of a real estate plan for its national headquarters office in Manhattan.  Based on TFA's anticipated space needs and its vision for its headquarters facility, KBA assisted TFA to define and analyze various purchase and lease options.  Each option was analyzed relative to location, cost, and timing, as well as how each might express TFA's mission and core values.  KBA also helped TFA to select a broker via competitive process.  KBA drafted a Request for Proposals document and provided support in the analysis and comparison of proposals, interviewing brokers, and formulating evaluation criteria.
