Fundamentals of Leasing First Floor Commercial Space - Virtual Workshop 

Join us for this workshop targeted to building owners and developers, executive directors, real estate directors, asset managers, funders, and brokers. 

 Course Description:
The leasing of commercial real estate space is an important step when completing a development project and throughout the holding period of a residential property’s life.  Right-sizing a building’s first floor space and its physical attributes can increase the profitability of the asset, add to tenant and community enjoyment of the property, and support the project’s ongoing feasibility.   This course will provide an understanding of the sequential steps in bringing space to market; establishing rent; tenant selection; negotiating lease terms and space delivery condition, and bring students through to the final stage of lease execution and tenant move-in. 
Attendees will explore leasing issues that are often overlooked and never performed, and cover the following--
  • Considerations in use of space- retail, program or restaurant?
  • Tenant Selection and Space Delivery
  • Crafting offering terms for your marketing material, lease proposals and letter of intents
  • Identifying and selecting available resources when marketing your commercial space
  • Knowing the sequential steps in the leasing process
  • How-to and when-to of hiring a broker to bring your space to market
  • Factors in play that determine leasing process timeline
  • Q&A
