Timelines vary by complexity, but a typical lease negotiation can take 4 to 8 weeks from initial review to signing. Delays can occur from landlord responses, due diligence, or the need for amendments.
CAM charges are reviewed for reasonableness, inclusions, and caps. We look to align CAM terms with market norms and ensure transparency in how charges are calculated. Our aim is predictability in occupancy costs.
Renewal options can be negotiated to provide price protections, extension terms, and notice periods. We review exercise windows and market rate adjustments to fit your long-term plans.
Bring a copy of the draft lease, any prior correspondence, your business plan, occupancy needs, and budget guidelines. Financial documents help tailor concessions and terms to your situation.
Letters of intent can help set high-level terms early and align expectations. They are typically non-binding language-wise, but we review LOI terms to capture essential points.

Assess long-term use by considering location, visibility, access, parking, utilities, and expansion needs. Plan for growth, subletting, and potential exit strategies.
