About Max McDonald

I’m an Austin office and industrial space expert at AQUILA Commercial (the most fun commercial real estate company in town!)I consult and advise companies on how to make the most effective and efficient decisions regarding their office space. By representing tenants in the Austin office and industrial markets, I help find office space, buy buildings, and negotiate new leases as well as renewals or expansions. My clients range across all industry types from technology, legal, manufacturing, and more. Since 2016, I have helped secure over one million square feet of office and industrial space for our clients. Common reasons companies hire a tenant representative like me include:1) To renew existing office leases & extract the landlord’s profit2) To relocate an existing facility or secure new space3) To acquire space for start-up companies4) To upsize, downsize, or reconfigure existing space5) To reduce rent prior to lease expiration via lease restructure6) To lower occupancy costs & increase the efficiency of their space Simply put, as a competitive differentiator, we work hard to bring value to the table for our clients to help them make and save more money.
