COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ANALYSIS

HOW WE EVALUATE A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

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.

Start with the rent roll, leases, expense records and available property information. We separate documented figures, information still to verify and projections such as future rents, vacancy or holding costs.

Discuss a Property Evaluation →
01
INCOME

What Income Does the Property Produce?

Compare the provided rent roll with leases and collection information. Identify vacancies, concessions and income that has not yet been verified.

RENT ROLL REVENUE INCOME MIX
02
EXPENSES

What Does It Cost to Operate?

Review recorded taxes, utilities, maintenance and other known costs. Keep missing expenses and future capital work separate from current operating figures.

TAXES OPERATING COSTS MAINTENANCE
03
OCCUPANCY & LEASES

Who Occupies the Property — and on What Terms?

Review the parties, lease dates, renewal options, rent changes and responsibilities. Ask the appropriate professionals to review legal terms and restrictions.

OCCUPANCY LEASE TERMS TENANT MIX
04
PROPERTY

What Are You Actually Buying?

Review available plans and property information. Confirm the basis of area measurements, condition and space configuration through appropriate inspections.

SIZE CONDITION CONFIGURATION
05
LOCATION

How Does the Location Support the Use?

Compare access, frontage, surrounding businesses and the intended use. Zoning, permitted use and any required approvals need professional verification.

ACCESS VISIBILITY SURROUNDINGS
06
MARKET

How Does the Opportunity Compare With the Market?

Compare relevant listings and transaction records with their dates and property differences. Model future rent or occupancy separately from actual results.

COMPARABLES COMPETITION MARKET CONTEXT
DUE DILIGENCE

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.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FAQ

QUESTIONS ABOUT COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE?

Commercial transactions can involve different property types, lease structures, operating considerations and due diligence. These are some of the questions we commonly help clients work through.

ASK US A COMMERCIAL QUESTION →
01What should I prepare before discussing a commercial sale?

Start with the address, your timing and goals, plus available leases, rent roll, expenses, floor plans and property information. We can identify which documents are available and what still needs review.

02How do you recommend an asking price or rent?

We consider comparable activity, competing properties, income, expenses, leases and buyer or tenant demand. A pricing recommendation is brokerage guidance; it is not a formal appraisal or a guarantee of the eventual price or rent.

03How should I compare lease proposals beyond the headline rent?

Compare the rent unit and payment period, increases, concessions, deposits, operating expenses, repairs, fit-out responsibilities, term and renewal options. Your attorney should review the legal terms before you commit.

04Can a space be used for my intended business?

Share the intended use early. Existing use or a listing description does not confirm permission for a new business. Verify zoning, occupancy, permits and building requirements with your attorney and qualified professionals.

05What should I review when buying an occupied or mixed-use property?

Review leases, rent collection, occupancy, expenses, condition and the commercial and residential components separately. Distinguish documented income from projected rents, and coordinate legal, tax, financing and inspection reviews.

06Who will represent me and coordinate the transaction?

At the start, confirm the assigned agent, agency relationship, scope of the engagement and the responsibilities of each party. Barbie Li Team at B Square Realty coordinates brokerage work with your attorney, lender and other professionals as needed.
