How to Lease Commercial Real Estate Office, Retail, or Industrial Space

A lease, at its core, is a business relationship – an agreement between a tenant and a landlord. Although leasing commercial real estate may appear simplistic, perhaps even one-dimensional, it is crucial to take 7 essential steps. Otherwise, the process can turn into disarray.

1. Define your requirements: The first questions to tackle are as follow: “What am I looking for?” and “What would suit me best?” From prerequisites such as deciding location to determining the property’s prospective use, evaluating the space is critical.

2. Locate suitable property: After determining space requirements, a hands-on search begins. Locate suitable properties, survey the market, and narrow down the CRE contestants.

3. Tour properties: A property review and physical tour is the next step of commercial leasing. Since an expected lessee engages in numerous visits and tours, it would be beneficial to take notes on each property.

4.  Make a proposal to lease: The proposal process consists of five elements: preparing a RFP (request for proposal), issuing the RFP to suitable properties, reviewing the landlords’ responses, evaluating offers, and perhaps preparing a Comparative Lease Analysis.

5. Space planning and architectural evaluation
6.  Negotiate the lease contract: Negotiating may be tedious and frustrating. It is important to meticulously examine every aspect of the deal to avoid future problems. A checklist, legal involvement, and realization of tenant’s resources are discussed thoroughly in this category.

7.  Close the transaction The mutual execution of a lease.

Treasure Valley Office Space Checklist

So, you’re just starting a business in the Treasure Valley, and you’re finding yourself overwhelmed with the task of locating an office that will accommodate your needs without breaking your budget. Choosing office space can be complicated, because you’re counting on the amount of business you do to offset the costs of leasing the space and staffing it with employees. No matter which type of space you choose for your business, there are some considerations that you should always keep in mind on your quest to lease office space.

When you set out to find office space such as the Blackeagle Center in Boise or the Silverstone Corporate Plaza in Meridian, Idaho, it is important that you make a list of the most important aspects of the space before you talk to a leasing agent or even make a phone call in response to one classified advertisement. Essential to this list is that you keep in the back of your mind exactly what you need, not what you want to function. These needs include the actual amount of space you need to function, not feel like a corporate executive; the communications access that you need to stay in touch with your clients on a regular basis, like internet and commercial telephone services, and last, but not least, the realistic amount of money you have to spend on an office.

When you are looking to lease an office, the amount of actual square footage you need depends greatly on the type of business you are hoping to run. If you’re going to be running a clothing store or design studio, you will need more space than someone who is developing and running a web site or a consultancy.

If you have considered all of the office space that is available for lease around your geographical location and have determined that nothing is very well suited to your needs or to your budget, you might want to consider a executive suite office instead. These are typically single suites that are available within a professional office building. The benefits of executive office space include professional receptionist services, access to conference rooms, internet and phone services, and, in most cases, spaces that are already furnished with chairs, desks, and filing cabinets.

How To Find The Right Office Space in The Treasure Valley

With a little extra time and effort, you can be assured of finding a great office location from The Sundance Company in the Treasure Valley that will serve your business well for years to come. With numerous office space locations in Boise or Meridian, Idaho, consider these tips to help you find the perfect spot.

  • Consider What You Need: You would think this would go without saying, but it is amazing how many business owners leap into an office contract after being mesmerized by the fancy foyer or the many amenities. Write down exactly what you need and take that list with you when you tour available spaces. If you have 10 employees, don’t rent space for 100. Unless you have concrete plans to expand to a larger or different operation in the future, rent only for your current needs. And don’t let yourself be talked into something you really don’t need. Nothing good can come of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole when it comes to office space.
  • Make a Budget: Don’t over-extend yourself with a huge rental payment when you are considering the office space that is right for your business. Office space for rent can make or break your budget. Find an adequate space that is affordable and that fits well within your budget. You don’t want to over-extend yourself, and you can always upgrade later. And don’t forget to read the fine print. What costs and utilities are you expected to cover? Are there any hidden fees in the contract?
  • Plan for the Future: While you don’t want to agree to an office space rental agreement based upon hazy future plans, you do want to be prepared for changes you might need to make later on down the road as your business grows and expenses. Does your rental agreement allow you to remodel the office space or expand into empty, adjacent space? What if you need to terminate the agreement or want to upgrade to a larger office? Can that be done under your agreement or would hefty fees be involved to re-negotiate the lease? Work out those details now as you plan for the future of your business, and save headaches later for a great experience as you search for office space for rent.

Use these tips to find the right property for your business in the Treasure Valley. Then rest secure in the knowledge that you have made a smart business decision that will serve you well for years to come.

You Can Do it All at Meridian Idaho’s Silverstone Business Park

Meridian, Idaho’s Mayor Tammy de Weerd recently wrote about The Sundance Company in her City of Meridian blog, http://www.meridiancity.org/blogs.aspx?id=4195&blogid=701. Or you can just read below …

Over the last year, many have anxiously watched the southeast corner skyline of Eagle and Overland Roads transform as one of Meridian’s newest buildings, the Silverstone Corporate Plaza, takes shape.  This incredibly elegant building gives us another reason to celebrate all that we have going on in Meridian and in our business parks.

Not so long ago, commercial business parks were developed as dry, bland rows of boxy warehouse-style buildings connected by meandering dead-end streets and parking lots.  No personality; no style.  Today, Meridian’s business parks don’t just break that old stereotype… they shatter it!

Within the 170-acre Silverstone Business Park, large employers such as Power Engineers, Citi, Intermountain Orthopedics, AmeriBen/IEC Group, Bodybuilding.com, Idaho Athletic Club, Sage Diagnostics and Imaging, T-Mobile, Neurological Associates, and Academy Mortgage to name a few, share the grounds with a variety of retail, dining, service, and lodging providers.  Whether you are looking for sushi from Sakana Japanese Sushi and Steak Hours or would like to try a “staycation” at the Candlewood Suites Hotel, you can do it all in Silverstone.

Silverstone’s developer, The Sundance Company, has created a balanced, multi-functional business environment, and has found ways to include many of the “nice-ities” that make going to work or doing business a more pleasant experience.  From attractive landscaping to cutting-edge amenities such as the concierge services available to tenants of the new Corporate Plaza, the development’s thoughtful design and aesthetically-pleasing appearance are sure to go far in continuing to attract economically-vibrant tenants to this business park and our community.
