AREAS OF PRACTICE
Retail
Retailers have unique needs when leasing space. Brand identity and store build-out, location within the shopping center as well as landlord maintenance obligations and co-tenancy are critical.
High-Tech
Office leasing was often viewed as “cookie cutter”. With the advent of high tech, issues like density, exit strategies, securitization and subleasing have become extremely important.
Life Science
Life science tenants require lab space, permission for tenant’s use of biohazardous materials & chemicals, as well as a backup power source to prevent damage to scientific experiments.
Industrial
Industrial leasing includes everything from warehouse distribution to research & development. With the advent of online retail shopping, there has been an explosion of industrial leasing.
