Lease Structures

Understanding what you're signing.

Commercial leases come in many forms, and the structure affects your total occupancy cost. We break down each option so you understand exactly what you're paying for and can compare opportunities on an apples-to-apples basis.

  • Triple Net (NNN) means tenant pays base rent plus taxes, insurance, and maintenance separately.

  • Modified Gross includes some operating expenses in the base rent, with specific pass-throughs.

  • Full Service Gross wraps all operating costs into a single rent payment - common for office space.

  • Layout evaluation assessing flow, capacity, and growth potential before you sign.

  • TI coordination managing tenant improvements from design through permitting and construction.
