01 — Project Profile
When American Engineers Group, LLC (AEG) set out to relocate their headquarters from Harrisburg’s East Shore to a more efficient and accessible workspace on the West Shore, they turned to Landmark Commercial Realty for strategic guidance and full-service occupier support. This case study highlights the multi-disciplinary collaboration between Landmark’s brokerage and tenant services teams – from planning and property search to lease negotiation, space design, and move coordination. Together, they delivered a customized solution that reflects AEG’s culture, supports its technical operations, and positions the company for future growth.
When AEG began exploring a relocation from their outdated, multi-story office in Harrisburg, they needed a solution that balanced function, flexibility, and financial practicality. More than just securing a new space, they sought a partner who could help them rethink how their workspace could support evolving workflows and team growth.
02 — Key Objectives
AEG entered the relocation process with a clear goal: to align their physical workspace with the evolving needs of their business and employees. Their existing facility no longer supported their operational model or collaborative culture. Landmark was tasked with identifying a property that met both their space requirements and financial expectations – while ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption.
Transition to a 17,100 SF single-story office for improved functionality.
Select a location requiring limited renovations to allow a fast, efficient move.
Incorporate open areas, private offices, and collaborative zones to support team flow.
Add touchdown workstations and shared resources for field staff.
Include soils and wet lab infrastructure to support specialized services.
Negotiate phased lease terms to reduce short-term impact and support long-term goals.
03 — Our Approach
Landmark’s relocation strategy blended real estate advisory, space planning, and project execution – delivered through a collaborative team. A dual-track site search gave AEG options and leverage while keeping timelines flexible. When their top-choice space was withdrawn from the market, Landmark pivoted quickly to a strong alternative.
Michael Curran, SIOR, led the dual-track site search focused on West Shore locations that fit AEG's needs. By identifying multiple viable properties early, the team preserved timeline control and negotiation strength. When the top-choice site was removed from the market, Curran swiftly transitioned to a strong alternative and structured a lease with phased rental terms, giving AEG the financial flexibility to ease into their new space.
Working with AEG's leadership, Colleen Erickson, NCIDQ, developed a space program that emphasized team flow, flexibility, and collaboration. Her design balanced structure and openness, placing private offices along the perimeter to support both focus and interaction.
Colleen also oversaw furniture selection, finish coordination, and zone planning - from touchdown areas to the lab. Her comprehensive approach ensured that AEG's workspace reflected their goals and culture while optimizing day-to-day function.
