How we help
Tenants: space that fits your business
From site selection to space planning, we help you find locations that match your customers, operations and budget - then negotiate net, gross and TMI terms, free rent, allowances and renewal options in your favour.
Landlords: the right tenant, fast
We market your space, qualify prospective tenants and structure leases that protect your asset and your income - minimizing vacancy and maximizing long-term value.

Good to know
Frequently asked
What does TMI mean?
TMI stands for Taxes, Maintenance and Insurance - the additional costs beyond base rent in most commercial leases. We make sure you understand the fully-loaded cost per square foot before committing.
Net lease vs. gross lease?
In a net lease the tenant pays base rent plus TMI; in a gross lease most costs are bundled. The right structure depends on your business - we'll model both.
Can you negotiate a tenant allowance?
Often, yes - especially for longer terms. We regularly negotiate free rent and improvement allowances to offset build-out costs.
How long do commercial leases usually run?
Most range from three to ten years depending on the space and your build-out investment. We negotiate term length, renewal options and exit flexibility to match your business plan.
Do you represent both landlords and tenants?
Yes - though never on opposite sides of the same deal. We bring tenant-rep diligence to occupiers and disciplined tenant placement to landlords.
