Commercial real estate looks different depending on whether you're selling an asset, acquiring an investment, leasing space or planning a development. We start with the objective and build the strategy around it.
For owners evaluating a sale or lease, the strategy begins with the property's position in the current market, competing inventory, income potential and the type of buyer or tenant the opportunity may attract.
Commercial acquisitions require more than comparing asking prices. Buyers and investors may need to consider income, expenses, occupancy, lease terms, property condition, location and future use.
Tenant representation starts with how the business intends to use the space, then compares location, visibility, layout, rent structure, lease terms and other practical requirements.
Development work may involve site opportunities, project positioning, commercial components, market strategy, leasing or sales execution depending on the property and development stage.

Barbie Li Team and B Square Realty work across sales, leasing, acquisitions and development-related opportunities in Queens and the broader New York market.
DISCUSS A COMMERCIAL NEED →Property positioning, pricing, marketing, buyer outreach and offer evaluation for owners considering a commercial sale.
Position available space, reach prospective tenants and evaluate lease economics, business use and proposed terms.
Compare locations and spaces around business use, visibility, layout, economics and the practical terms of the lease.
Review income, expenses, leases, occupancy, physical characteristics and market context when comparing commercial investment opportunities.
Commercial and development opportunities where site characteristics, location, market positioning and future use become part of the real estate decision.
The way a commercial property is evaluated depends on how the space is used, how it produces income and what a future buyer, tenant or investor will need to understand.
Retail property decisions often involve visibility, frontage, surrounding commercial activity, layout, lease economics and how the space fits the needs of prospective occupants.
Mixed-use properties combine multiple income and occupancy considerations, often requiring buyers and owners to evaluate commercial and residential components separately.
Office and professional users may compare location, accessibility, floor plan, operating costs and lease terms alongside the physical space itself.
Income-producing properties are evaluated through both the real estate and the operating picture, including occupancy, leases, known expenses and property condition.
Development opportunities require an additional review of site characteristics, location, existing use and the market context surrounding the property.
Permitted use, zoning, building compliance, financial performance and other property-specific matters should be independently verified with the appropriate professionals as part of due diligence.

A commercial property is more than a building and an asking price. Understanding the opportunity means looking at how the asset operates, how it is occupied and how it compares with the surrounding market.
The details vary by property type, but these are some of the core questions we consider when helping clients compare commercial real estate opportunities.
EXPLORE INVESTMENT SERVICES →Review current rental income and other known revenue sources to understand how the property is operating today.
Known property taxes, utilities, maintenance and other operating expenses help provide context for the property's current economics.
Occupancy, lease duration, rent structure and other existing lease terms can materially affect how a commercial asset should be evaluated.
Building configuration, condition, usable space, access, frontage and physical characteristics can influence both current use and future marketability.
Visibility, transportation, surrounding density, nearby businesses and access can matter differently depending on whether the property is retail, office, industrial or mixed-use.
Current competing properties, recent transactions and local market conditions help place the asking price, rent and overall opportunity into context.
Financial statements, leases, zoning, permitted use, environmental matters, building condition and legal or tax considerations should be independently reviewed with the appropriate attorneys, accountants, engineers and other qualified professionals.

The analysis depends on the property type and the client's objective. Important factors may include current income, operating expenses, occupancy, lease terms, property condition, physical configuration, location, comparable properties and current market competition.
A commercial sale typically begins with understanding the property, its current use or income, comparable opportunities and the buyers most likely to consider it. From there, pricing, positioning, marketing and offer evaluation can be built around the specific asset.
DISCUSS A PROPERTY →Buyers commonly review rental income, known expenses, occupancy, existing leases, physical condition and comparable market activity. Property-specific issues such as zoning, permitted use, legal matters, taxes and building condition should also be reviewed with the appropriate qualified professionals.
Yes. For landlords, the focus may include positioning available space, marketing and evaluating prospective tenants and lease terms. For tenants, the process may include identifying suitable spaces and comparing location, layout, economics and proposed lease terms.
