Commercial Listings Need More Context
Commercial lease listings are different from apartment listings. Rent, square footage, permitted use, buildout condition, parking, frontage, signage, utilities, zoning, and operating expenses can all affect whether a space works for a business. The lowest advertised rate may not be the lowest total cost.
Know the Lease Type
Ask whether the lease is gross, modified gross, triple net, or another structure. A tenant may also be responsible for common area maintenance, taxes, insurance, utilities, trash, or repairs. Before touring, ask the listing agent what costs are included and what costs are billed separately.
Match the Space to the Use
Retail, office, restaurant, medical, warehouse, salon, and flex spaces all have different requirements. Confirm permitted use, parking needs, buildout condition, restrooms, loading access, signage rules, and whether the current layout can support your business. For restaurants or food service, utilities and hood or grease-trap requirements can be especially important.
