Tacoma Street Ventures supports organizations when they don't yet need in-house workplace/real estate leadership but can benefit from occasional expertise to keep their workplace program, whether remote or office-based, running smoothly. Optimal alignment of C-suite vision, employee workplace considerations, and resources enables leaders to better advance their people and business imperatives through periods of change and rapid growth and we consider this the most urgent work we can do for our clients at this stage of the pandemic. Tacoma Street Ventures strives to provide nimble, high-value support that saves you time and money down the road while not leaving you with a large consultancy bill today.

Specific offerings include:

1) Ad hoc consulting for ongoing needs such as workplace spend management, a customized playbook for your designated workplace lead, and baseline compliance materials you can leverage as you scale and share with investors and other stakeholders as needed today.

2) Strategic advisory services on evolving challenges such as late-stage pandemic response management and the right Return to Office plan for your team.

3) Subscription-based portfolio management services through which we take over key workplace/real estate functions to save your team time and money. We typically handle all landlord, broker and vendor interactions, manage and prepare reports on real estate spend, field employee workplace requests and provide ongoing lease compliance.

Tacoma Street Ventures was founded by Stanford MBA Holly Jones. Having worked originally as a JLL advisor to large corporate real estate teams, then scaled a non-profit start-up and most recently worked in-house to develop the workplace platform for a pre-IPO AI company, she understands from within and outside fast-growing organizations how crucial it is to get the right amount of expertise along the way so that the leadership team can stay focused on business development and investor relations. She also understands how hard it is to find this sort of support when you’re not yet ready to hire a full-time workplace lead, don’t want to pay large fees to a consulting firm and know that a broker’s interests aren’t necessarily aligned with yours. Tacoma Street Ventures LLC is a WBENC-certified WOSB/WBE serving clients globally.

Why work with us

Our competitors can’t offer the breadth of experience needed to provide you with solutions that reflect your current needs and stakeholder considerations, incorporate the best practice learnings of a Fortune 100 professional services firm and provide measurable value on a scale that’s right for you. Now more than ever, the best workplace/real estate partners are the ones who have walked in your shoes and understand your pain points in the way a traditional consultant or broker can’t. Very few leading industry professionals can do this. Holly Jones and anyone on her team who works with you will.

When you choose Tacoma Street Ventures, you’re choosing a partner who has experienced small organization workplaces challenges first-hand, has the consultancy experience to ensure your team benefits from larger company and industry best practices and operates in a similarly nimble manner so can offer a pricing structure that keeps the focus on value-creation and not fee negotiations.
