New Tenants: About to Sign a New Space & Want to Lease at Market Levels & Not Over Pay Rent for a New Location that was Just Secured.

1) Fair Market Base Rent +

2) Additional NNN's & CAM's Operating Expense Pass Thru's from Landlord to Tenant are Key for Proper Underwriting.

This information is believed to be reliable, however, do not guaranty or make any warranty or representation about it as this information must be independently verified and confirmed for reliability and accuracy. Each subject property is unique regarding general vs. specific location and general vs. specific uses, above data applies only to a specific subject based on a specific date, therefore, market level rents & values cannot be generalized for properties within even the same submarket due to additional numerous physical characteristics such as square footage sizes, year built, construction, quality & condition of improvements, etc.
