Most corporate real estate leases consist of several dozen pages and in some cases upwards of a hundred pages or more. A lease abstract is a 1 or 2 page snap-shot of your lease in an easy to read format. The process involves reading through your entire lease and abstracting pertinent information. Some examples of extracted information include the following:
• Date Lease Signed
• Date Lease Expires
• Length of Term
• Current Rate Being Paid PSF
• Escalation Clause
• Termination Options
• Security Deposit
• Penalty Fees If Any
• Renewal Options
• Contraction & Expansion Options
• Rental Schedule
Showing a current rental rate schedule is one of the most important aspects of a lease abstract which shows your current rental rate and projects out the future annual rates. Once you know and understand your rental schedule you can compare to the market and determine if you are paying more than you should.
Also, a lease may have multiple addendums making the entire process complicated and ideal for using a professional. If you are concerned about your lease, or if you are in the market for new office space, please consider having my team help you with your search.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Maybe you've heard of the term Employee Scattergram or maybe you haven't, but in your search for new office space knowing where your employees live in relation to your office location may be one of the most important things you know. I've heard it said that "the drive to work is the number one reason why many people quit their jobs!" Having a quick commute to work can be just as an important fringe benefit as health benefits or retirement savings.
The way an Employee Scattergram works is fairly simple:
- Gather all employee zip codes
- Utilizing a mapping program enter all individual employees
- Create radius circles around the centered cluster of employees
- Radius circles should be 5, 10, and 15 miles in circumference
- Your ideal office location would be based in the center of how employees are grouped
- In some cases ownership and management locations may influence the decision more so than that of centered employee groupings
The location information of where your employees live will help determine where your search for new office space should start or be centralized. Good luck!

I look forward to hearing from you!
