Commercial · Leasing

Someone should be reading the lease on your behalf.

We represent landlords filling vacancy and tenants negotiating their own space.

For Landlords

Filling vacancy with the right tenant.

A vacant suite costs money every month. So does the wrong tenant in it — just more slowly, and with more paperwork.

Vacancy Marketing

Professional photography, floor plans, signage, and listing syndication produced in-house — the same standard we apply to residential listings, which is unusual in commercial.
Tenant Qualification

Financial review, business history, and use compatibility before you're committed. A bad tenant costs far more than a few extra vacant weeks.
Lease Structuring

Term, escalations, expense recovery, TI allowance, and options — structured to protect both your income and your eventual sale value.

For Tenants

In most markets the landlord pays the tenant rep commission, which means representation typically costs you nothing and saves you a great deal.

Site Selection

Location, demographics, parking ratio, signage rights, access, and zoning compatibility with your actual use — assessed before you get attached to a space.
Lease Negotiation

Base rent is the number everyone focuses on. Escalations, CAM caps, personal guarantees, exclusivity, and options often matter more over a ten-year term.
Renewals & Restructures

Your existing landlord counts on inertia. Having representation at renewal, and starting early, consistently produces better terms than accepting the letter that arrives.

Lease Terms That Matter

Over a ten-year term, the clauses below routinely move more money than the headline rate does. These are the ones we spend time on.

NNN vs. Gross: who actually pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance
CAM caps: without one, your operating expense share is open-ended
Escalations: fixed percentage versus CPI can differ enormously over a decade
TI allowance: who builds it out, who owns it, and what happens at expiration
Personal guarantee: scope and burn-off, if you can negotiate one
Options: renewal, expansion, termination, and right of first refusal
