Commercial Leasing Representation for Property Owners

Every commercial space has a different market and a different potential tenant.

An office space designed for professional services, a street-level retail space, and a space intended for a medical or clinic use may require completely different positioning and leasing strategies.

I help owners:

• Analyze the Montreal commercial leasing market and competing properties
• Establish the asking rent and leasing strategy
• Understand zoning and permitted use
• Identify suitable businesses and potential tenant profiles
• Prepare and position office, retail and other commercial spaces for lease
• Coordinate professional photography, listing and marketing
• Handle inquiries and arrange showings
• Evaluate prospective tenants and leasing proposals
• Negotiate rent, lease term and other conditions
• Follow the transaction through lease execution and occupancy

The goal isn't simply to fill a vacancy. It's to find the right tenant and establish lease terms that make sense for the property and the owner.

Different Spaces Need Different Leasing Strategies

Office, retail, medical and other commercial spaces shouldn't all be marketed the same way.

I look at the property's location, layout, condition, zoning, permitted use, target tenant and current market to determine how the space should be positioned.

For an office for lease, tenants may place more importance on layout, reception areas, meeting rooms, accessibility and parking. For a retail space, location, visibility, frontage, foot traffic and permitted business uses may matter much more.

And the strategy doesn't stop once the listing goes live.

I continue to monitor inquiries, showings and feedback from prospective tenants. If the response isn't what we expected, we reassess — whether that's the asking rent, lease terms, presentation, target tenant or marketing strategy.

A leasing strategy should respond to the market.

A Commercial Lease Is About More Than Rent

Commercial lease negotiations go far beyond the price per square foot.

Depending on the property and transaction, negotiations may include:

• Base Rent / Gross Rent
• Additional Rent
• Lease Term
• Security Deposit
• Annual Increases
• Tenant Improvements
• Rent-Free or Fixturing Period
• Permitted Use
• Renewal Options
• Occupancy
• Other property- or tenant-specific conditions

I help owners evaluate proposals, compare terms and negotiate the overall deal, while coordinating with other professionals when required.

A good commercial lease isn't simply about finding someone willing to pay the rent. The overall terms need to work for the property and the owner.
