For property owners
A clearer brief.
A better decision.
FIP Commercial helps retail landlords in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach position space for suitable operators. The approach connects visibility, access, neighboring uses, tenant mix, and delivery requirements to the owner's leasing objectives.
Define the uses the space can support.
Before building a prospect list, establish the property's known use restrictions, existing tenant exclusives, parking conditions, loading arrangements, and building capabilities. A restaurant, fitness operator, or service business can have very different requirements. A promising concept still needs a workable space.
Assess the operator behind the offer.
Review the proposed concept, relevant operating experience, funding readiness, improvement plan, and intended opening date. Consider how customer visits, operating hours, deliveries, and parking demand would interact with existing tenants. Keep the operator assessment distinct from the headline rent.
Make the path to opening explicit.
Set out the proposed delivery condition, landlord work, tenant work, signage, and dependencies on permits or other approvals. Compare those requirements with the requested opening date and rent commencement terms. Resolve responsibility for each major item before ambiguity becomes delay.
Clear answers
What owners
want to know.
What should a landlord look for in a retail tenant?
Evaluate the proposed use, operating experience, funding readiness, improvement requirements, and compatibility with the property. Compare credit and commercial terms alongside the effect on parking, deliveries, operating hours, and neighboring tenants.
Why does tenant mix matter in a shopping center?
Tenant mix shapes how customers use the property and how operators share parking, access, deliveries, and operating hours. A proposed use should be assessed in the context of existing businesses, lease restrictions, and the surrounding trade area.
What needs to be checked before leasing space to a restaurant?
Identify the intended operation and evaluate relevant use approvals, ventilation, grease handling, utilities, waste arrangements, deliveries, parking, and improvement requirements. Confirm the space's actual capabilities and assign responsibility for required work before setting delivery commitments.
What information helps FIP assess a retail leasing assignment?
Start with the address, available space, floor plan, current tenants, known use restrictions, delivery condition, asking terms, and target timing. Share the property overview with Roy Faith. Detailed lease and operating records can follow through an agreed information-sharing process.
