Retail Leasing

Retailers have unique needs when leasing space. Brand identity (trade dress) and store build-out, location within the shopping center and landlord maintenance obligations and co-tenancy are critical.

Jo Ann has a real passion for retail and has been a long time member of the International Council of Shopping Centers and a regular attendee of ICSC’s annual Shopping Center Law Conference.

More on Retail Leasing

With the evolving relationship between e-commerce and brick and mortar, retailers are being challenged when entering into leases today to maintain flexibility in terms of growth, exit strategies and concept evolution.

On the other hand, landlords are seeking to infill space with successful retail tenants while appreciating the unique challenges retailers are facing in committing to long term leases. Jo Ann enjoys sharing these challenges with her retail clients throughout the lease negotiation process.
