The Team
Mark Cote,
Managing Director
cote@t3advisors.com
As a principal and co-founding partner of T3 Advisors, Mark focuses on developing creative solutions for the extensive real estate needs of T3’s larger clients. Ranging from the strategic portfolio review of clients’ real estate and facilities to the implementation of lease administration systems, his efforts are guided by the belief that “every real estate and facilities decision needs to have underlying financial and analytical support.” Mark also manages the firm’s national and international real estate services.
Mark has led the field office expansion efforts for RSA Security and Silverstream Software, for whom he completed projects in Australia and Canada. He was also instrumental in the strategic planning and disposition of facilities after Macromedia’s purchase of Allaire Corporation.
A creative problem solver, Mark views real estate as “an organic entity.” He works with T3 clients “to find ways to make real estate portfolios more efficient and to slash costs beyond lease deals,” such as with lease administration, space utilization, and lease audits. Mark recognizes that T3’s excellence in client service stems from a broad perspective, that “leasing activity in one part of a greater whole.” It is not necessarily the negotiation of a 100,000 RSF lease that a client remembers. “Rather, it could be the $1,000 electric billing error that we identified that the client values most in their mind.”
Prior to T3, Mark worked with the other co-founding partners of T3 as Vice President in Meredith & Grew’s Technology Practice Group. He began his commercial real estate career in Washington, D.C. for Julien J. Studley, a leading national tenant representation firm. Prior to his start in real estate, Mark learned the value of metrics and portfolio analytics while working in the audit and business assurance division of the then Coopers & Lybrand.
A cum laude graduate of Harvard University, Mark achieved excellence on the field as well. He was selected to the Academic All-Ivy football team.
Mark lives in Andover MA with his wife and son. He enjoys running, traveling, and reading.
