We all learned in grade school that if A equals B, then B equals A. The principle of transitivity may be an axiomatic in mathematics, but it doesn’t carry over into commercial real estate. Any lawyer looking to lease an office from a landlord will quickly learn that 1,000 square feet does not mean 1,000 feet of usable office space. Because of the way office leases work, you’ll need to rent a bigger space than you planned so that your team and equipment can fit.

One thousand square feet ends up being less because of what landlords call the “loss rate.” First, office suites are measured from the outside of the exterior walls. That means you’re paying for the space taken up by outside bricks or siding, window wells, insulation, and drywall. Continue Reading ›

Top Five Issues Affecting Commercial Real Estate

Published on: January 19, 2019 | by ESQ.title

The Top Five Issues Affecting Commercial Real Estate in the near-term are as follows:

Interest Rates & The Economy

The Federal Reserve’s plan is to nudge interest rates back to historically normal levels. Concurrently, the passing of The Tax Cut and Jobs Act has enacted fiscal stimulus through deficit spending. As expansionary fiscal policy collides with tightening monetary policy, some speculate increased Federal borrowing could crowd out private entities from the debt market, while those who successfully secure financing face higher interest rates.

Focus on Your Law Practice, Not Your Office Needs

Published on: January 17, 2019 | by ESQ.title

You have a plan. A plan to grow a law firm with your principles and vision ingrained in its operations. This goal isn’t easy, it will take time, research, sweat, and yes money. Missteps could prove fatal. It is important to use resources wisely while laying the foundations of the firm and increasing the number of clients. Starting costs can be an obstacle. Direct leasing an office is one of the largest expenses, especially in the Miami real estate market. Not only would new law firms pay high upfront costs for a direct lease, they would also have to spend money on furniture and an IP internet network. Office equipment such as printers also add up. The hard-work of establishing an office not only takes huge sums of money, it also takes away precious time that business owners should be using to grow their law firm.

There is an alternative.

Save Money Instead of spending thousands on upfront costs, law firms should consider ESQ.suites, a unique shared office space exclusively for lawyers. ESQ.suites already has the infrastructure a fledgling law firm needs to move forward. Instead of using precious funds for office startup, law firms can instead invest that money in marketing and growing their client list. Save Time The most precious resource is time. It is one of the few commodities that can never be returned. Building an office from scratch takes time, time that could be used networking, marketing. Focus on the important things, like building your law firm. Outsource the unrelated topics such as fighting over the cost of a lease or trying to fix a broken printer. You want a law firm that is built on your principles. Help make this goal a reality by skipping the high costs and time consuming endeavor of signing a direct lease. Let ESQ.suites worry about the office so you can worry about your practice. Contact our team today to discuss your office needs.

By: Alejandro E. Jordan, Esq.

This Article provides you with tips to create a concise and effective negotiation checklist and the key points you should consider when negotiating a lease in a multi-tenant office building.

This Article also highlights key provisions you should pay close attention to often found in office leases.

At initial glance, a 20, 30 and sometimes 40 page commercial office lease agreement may seem daunting. However, with a properly drafted checklist, a savvy negotiator can swiftly navigate this legal document by making sure that all of the key provisions of the lease have been accounted for (or at least, that you know what you are getting yourself into before you are bound by its terms). A wise person once said, “Organization is the key to success.”

A good summary or checklist can be a useful tool for tenants to:

Keep track of on-going lease negotiations.
Quickly reference the key provisions in your lease.
Summarize the final key terms of your final executed lease.
