Commercial Lease Advisory

Space That Serves
Your Business

Finding the right commercial space is a strategic decision. I represent tenants in securing favourable lease terms and landlords in attracting quality occupants — across office, retail, industrial and flex properties throughout Calgary.

Tenant & Landlord Representation

Whether you need to find your next location or fill your vacant space with a quality tenant — I provide dedicated, conflict-free representation on both sides of the leasing relationship.

Your location is one of your biggest business decisions. I search Calgary's full market — listed and unlisted — to find spaces that match your operational requirements, growth plans, and budget.

  • Access to MLS® commercial listings plus off-market availabilities
  • Lease rate benchmarking and TMI analysis
  • Lease negotiation — base rent, free-rent periods, tenant improvement allowances
  • Lease review coordination with your legal team
  • Zero cost to tenants — my fee is paid by the landlord

Understanding Commercial
Lease Structures

Commercial leases are complex legal documents. I explain every clause before you sign — ensuring you understand your obligations and protect your business interests.

01
Triple Net (NNN) Lease
Most Common

The tenant pays base rent plus their proportionate share of property taxes, building insurance, and common area maintenance (CAM). The most landlord-favorable structure — but negotiable. I ensure your NNN components are properly capped and auditable, preventing unexpected cost escalation over the lease term.

02
TMI (Taxes, Maintenance, Insurance)
Alberta Standard

The Alberta commercial equivalent of NNN — additional rent paid on top of base rent. TMI rates typically range from $8–$18 PSF annually depending on the building type and location. Your total occupancy cost is base rent + TMI, and I benchmark both components against current market comparables before you commit.

03
Tenant Improvement (TI) Allowance
Negotiable

A landlord contribution toward your leasehold improvements — typically ranging from $20–$80 PSF depending on market conditions and lease length. This is one of the most valuable negotiating points in any commercial lease. I negotiate TI allowances aggressively, reducing your out-of-pocket build-out costs and improving your cash flow from day one.

04
Free Rent & Fixturing Periods
Negotiable

Base rent-free periods during construction and initial occupancy, allowing you to generate revenue before rent obligations begin. Standard in new leases — typically 1–6 months. I negotiate both the fixturing period (during build-out, no rent) and the free-rent period (post-opening, no base rent) to minimize your pre-revenue costs.

05
Renewal Options & Rent Escalations
Critical Terms

Your right to renew the lease protects your location and goodwill. I negotiate favourable renewal options at pre-set rent caps (e.g., CPI + 2% annually) — ensuring you're not subject to market-rate rent shock at renewal. Personal guarantee clauses and assignment rights are also reviewed to protect your business and personal assets.

From Search to Signed Lease

01

Needs Assessment

Define your space requirements — square footage, configuration, loading, power, parking, signage, and growth buffer. I build a site criteria profile before we look at a single listing.

02

Market Survey

Full search of available spaces matching your criteria — MLS® listings, direct landlord relationships, and off-market availabilities not visible to the public. Shortlist with lease rate benchmarks.

03

Property Tours

Coordinated showings with decision-makers present. I provide real-time market context on each property — occupancy costs, competing tenants, landlord reputation, and negotiation leverage points.

04

Offer & Negotiation

Prepare and submit a Letter of Intent with all commercial terms — base rent, TI allowance, free-rent period, renewal options, and operating cost caps. Negotiation informed by current market data.

05

Lease Review

Coordination with your commercial lawyer for full lease document review. I flag non-standard clauses, exclusivity provisions, demolition rights, and personal guarantee exposure before execution.

06

Occupancy & Beyond

Support through the build-out process, TI draw coordination, and occupancy permit. I remain available throughout your tenancy for renewal advisory, assignment, or sublease support.
