By soliciting proposals in terms consistent with your requirements and analyzing the landlord’s responses in accordance with terms set forth by you, bottom-line comparisons can be made on all issues.
Develop RFP to which Owner's Representative will respond, based on our client's criteria, such as:
Initial square footage needed
Expansion space if needed: how much and when
Tenant finish standards, and method of accommodating non-standard construction
Special requirements like extra or after-hour air conditioning, heavy electrical use, special parking needs, etc.
Options to renew
Financial considerations of lease rate, escalations, concessions and incentives
Disclosure of any expenses to you as the Tenant that are not covered by the base lease rate
Particular locations within the property considered most attractive to Tenant's business.
If time is of the essence at this point, Landlord's “standard” lease could be obtained for preliminary review by Client's legal counsel.
