A gross lease is a type of commercial lease in which the tenant pays a flat rental fee. The rent paid is inclusive of all operating expenses such as taxes, insurance, common area maintenance charges, janitorial services, and utilities…. which are paid for by the landlord. Not all commercial properties are managed the same way so be sure to ask all the right questions to be sure of what rent and operating expenses you are responsible for……….and get everything in writing! Benefits of a Full Service Gross Lease
Disadvantages of a Gross Lease
Definition of Gross LeaseAbove we have defined the basics of a gross lease in a commercial real estate transaction. Depending on the market, type of space, and landlord commercial properties are managed differently. When negotiating a commercial lease be sure to ask if janitorial and utilities are included. Also confirm if it’s a true gross lease or one that incorporates a “base year”. Also be aware that as commercial lease operating expenses become more unpredictable (mainly taxes) landlords are changing to triple net (NNN) leases rather than gross leases. This makes it easier for them as they are able to pass along 100% of the costs associated with managing commercial properties. Whether you leasing office space, retail space, or warehouse space most will be NNN leases. via Blogger What is a Gross Lease in Commercial Real Estate?

At the end of the day you have to evaluate the total cost of leasing office space as it’s more than just lease rates. You also have to evaluate the value of flexibility, amenities, and day to day operations. Why is Coworking Space More Expensive?Coworking providers like WeWork rent space directly from building owners (aka landlords) typically for 5-10 year lease terms. Even though they negotiate and receive a tenant improvement allowance they still significantly come out of pocket to complete the build-out and furnishing of their spaces. In addition they have full time staff on duty for day to day operations. To recoup their investment AND to make a profit they typically charge on average 20% to 40% above the rents that they pay to the landlord. Should I Rent Traditional Office Space or Coworking Space?If you are unsure about the future of your company whether it will experience rapid growth or be able to survive the next 12-24 months then you should stick with coworking. If you only have 5-10 employees then coworking might be the least expensive alternative. However if your company is stable or growing and you have more than 10 employees then renting traditional office space will probably be better suited for your needs. via Blogger Traditional Office Space VS Coworking: Which is More Expensive?

from Twitter https://twitter.com/AustinTenantAdv via Blogger Flavius Aetius thanks for following me on Twitter! https://t.co/mmo6ft1gxu Leasing commercial property is much different than renting an apartment. A commercial lease contract is a complex document that is negotiable however typically heavily favors the landlord. There is a lot more to leasing commercial space than just finding a space. You have to know what you are doing to ensure success. If you don’t then hire someone that can level the playing field against the landlord and Landlords’s agent. Below are a few things to consider before leasing commercial property. Get your financials in orderLandlords are going to ask to see your financials when leasing commercial space so please don’t get offended when they do. It’s part of doing business. Before they agree to give concessions like tenant improvements they want to make sure you are financially stable. Many will ask to see these BEFORE they respond to your proposal or offer. Ask the Landlord a Lot of QuestionsIt’s important that you understand who owns the building, who does the leasing, who the property manager is, etc… Here is a list of questions to ask commercial landlords or listing agent when touring commercial properties. Ask Yourself the Right QuestionsYou need to understand your current and future needs so here are a few questions to ask yourself before leasing commercial property. For example How much space do you need now and within 12-24 months? Do you need room to expand? What is the maximum you can afford each month? What is the longest lease term you can sign? Don’t let the landlord talk you into to paying more than you can afford or signing a lease longer than makes sense for your business. Get to Know the LingoAs you talk to commercial real estate agents they are going to throw out a lot of commercial real estate terms and definitions. You need to be familiar with these so you can negotiate effectively and not make mistakes Understand the Types of Commercial LeasesSome commercial properties are referred to as NNN leases, Gross, Modified Gross, etc. Do you know what this means? If not check out our post that talks about the different types of commercial leases. How Long of a Commercial Lease Term Makes Sense?The length of lease term in a commercial lease typically depends on the market you are in, the existing condition of the space, and the landlords preference. Landlords want you to sign as long of a lease as possible. If you are a new business then try to get a shorter term lease (less than 2 years). If you are a stable business then a 3-5 year lease makes sense. The longer the lease the more concessions you will be able to receive. The more improvements needed on a space the longer lease term the landlord will require so they can recoup their initial costs. At the end of the day you need to understand your current and future needs and agree to a lease term that makes business sense. via Blogger Things To Consider Before Leasing Commercial Property Leasing commercial property is much different than renting an apartment.
