Retail

Who your neighbors are matters enormously in retail. The right co-tenancy drives foot traffic, reinforces your brand, and attracts the customer you're after. The wrong mix can work against you before you ever open your doors. We evaluate the surrounding tenant ecosystem carefully - for buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants alike - to make sure the dynamics of the center or corridor work in your favor.

Retail lives and dies on accessibility and exposure. We assess traffic counts, ingress and egress, parking availability, and visibility from the street - the factors that determine whether customers can actually find you and whether stopping is convenient enough that they will.

Not every space can accommodate every retail use. We dig into zoning designations and permitted use requirements early in the process to make sure the space you're targeting - or the tenant you're considering - is a legitimate fit before time and money are spent heading in the wrong direction.

Retail leases come with their own complexity - percentage rent clauses, exclusivity provisions, co-tenancy clauses, and common area maintenance reconciliations, to name a few. We know where the landmines are and how to negotiate terms that protect our clients on both sides of the table.

Whether we're pricing a retail property for sale, setting asking rents for a vacancy, or evaluating a purchase price, our valuations are grounded in real market data and a clear-eyed assessment of what the retail landscape in your specific submarket is actually doing right now.
