Tenant & Landlord Representation
Industrial, retail, restaurant, office, warehouse and land — matched to your business, negotiated by an experienced commercial broker.
Square footage, zoning, parking, loading access and exposure all narrow the search before you tour a single unit. Shahid helps translate your business plan into a real-estate brief.
We shortlist available space across our network and PropTx/MLS commercial listings, then arrange tours around your schedule.
Base rent, additional rent (TMI/NNN charges), TI allowance, renewal options and permitted-use clauses are all negotiable. We negotiate on your behalf, not the landlord’s.
Your lawyer reviews the offer to lease before you sign; conditions typically include financing, zoning confirmation and sometimes municipal permit approval.
Once signed, we help coordinate contractor access, permits and your move-in timeline so you open on schedule.
A gross lease bundles rent and most operating costs into one payment. A net lease (single or double net) passes some costs like property tax or insurance to the tenant. A triple net (NNN) lease passes property tax, insurance and common area maintenance to the tenant on top of base rent — the most common structure for retail and industrial space in the GTA.
A dollar amount, usually per square foot, that the landlord contributes toward build-out costs (flooring, partitions, HVAC, electrical) to prepare the space for your business. TI allowances are negotiable and typically higher for longer lease terms.
From tour to signed lease, expect 4–8 weeks for straightforward retail or office space, and longer for industrial units requiring landlord approvals, zoning confirmation or municipal permits.
