Buyer & Tenant Representation

Velocity CRE – Your Tenant Representation Expert!

Restaurants and Retailers: We have and continue to represent some of the largest and most respected retailers, service providers and restaurant groups in Indiana. Our strengths are vast market knowledge and rolling up our sleeves to put in the difficult and detailed work necessary for our client’s success.

We understand the very distinct difference between an “A” site that will create future success for our clients and the “B” site just across the street or around the corner that will be “a block from success”. We pride ourselves in conducting extensive thorough research in order to assemble the most logical locations for consideration, ensuring the most effective market roll-outs and market penetrations possible. Real Estate 101 is “Location, Location, Location” and making the correct retail real estate decision is vital to our client’s long term success, a role we take very seriously.

Like the economy, the retailing and restaurant industry is ever-changing and it is critical that you out position your competition in order to produce positive results year after year. Velocity not only has an understanding of this but we also know the importance of every other detail involved with securing the best possible location and getting the doors open. We continue to set ourselves apart by always taking the initiative and time to truly listen and learn about every detail of our client’s business model, their core values, their goals, their ideal customer, and what specifically makes for an “A+” location for their brand.

Tenant Representation Done Right!

Office and Industrial; Identifying the right space and securing the best lease terms for our clients requires broad market knowledge and a sharp business sense. At the start of an assignment, we learn as much as possible about a client’s operations and business objectives to create an integrated real estate solution tailored to their unique needs.

Operating as a team, we deploy our deep knowledge of the market to negotiate to our client’s best advantage. What’s more, we can put together the right team of lawyers, design and construction consultants, engineers and contractors to help complete the transaction.

We understand that finding the right space, though important, is half the job. Getting the best possible lease or purchase terms is critical to the financial integrity of our clients. There’s a saying that landlords get rich by the nickel and dime, and it’s true. Understanding and negotiating the minutiae of a lease has a direct and significant effect on a tenant’s bottom line. Because a lease is 90 percent business we work with the attorney on the transaction to identify onerous lease terms and negotiate with the landlord to fix them. We painstakingly examine and negotiate each and every lease provision, including: Rent, Free Rent, Sublease and Assignment Clause, Operating Expenses Clause, Freight Elevator use charges, Real Estate Tax Clause, Electrical Use Clause, Expansion Options, Lease Renewal Terms, Tax Treatment of the Landlord’s Tenant Build-Out Contribution, Pass Thru Charges Escalation Clause, Self-Help Provisions and the Initial Construction and Alteration Clauses.
