Knutson Commercial
Landlord representation helps commercial property owners market available space, find qualified tenants and negotiate lease terms that support the long-term performance of the property.
Knutson Commercial provides landlord representation services for commercial property owners, combining leasing and marketing experience with firsthand knowledge gained from leasing commercial properties within our own portfolio.
A landlord representative works on behalf of the property owner throughout the commercial leasing process. This includes marketing available space, identifying prospective tenants, evaluating lease opportunities and negotiating terms with tenants or their brokers.
Commercial Leasing
Successful commercial leasing is about more than filling vacant space. Property owners need tenants that fit the property, lease terms that make financial sense and an approach that balances rental income with long-term risk.
Knutson Commercial works with landlords to position and market available space, connect with prospective tenants and negotiate the business terms of a lease.
Commercial real estate landlord representation can also include evaluating tenant improvements, lease concessions and other terms that affect both the initial transaction and the property's long-term performance.
The Leasing Process
We begin by reviewing the available space, property characteristics, location and the type of tenant the property is positioned to serve.
We help present the property to prospective tenants and the commercial brokerage market with clear information about the available space and leasing opportunity.
We work to connect available space with businesses whose location, size and property requirements may be a fit.
We represent the landlord through lease discussions, including rental terms, tenant improvements, concessions and other business terms affecting the transaction.
Balancing Income & Risk
The highest quoted rental rate does not always produce the best lease for a property owner. Tenant strength, lease length, improvements, concessions and other terms can materially affect the value and risk of a commercial lease.
Our goal is to help landlords evaluate the complete transaction and negotiate lease terms that support rental income while managing the owner's long-term exposure.
Owner Perspective
Knutson's experience with landlord representation extends beyond representing third-party property owners. We also lease commercial properties within our own portfolio.
Properties including Hay Creek Shops and the Depot give our team firsthand experience with the decisions commercial landlords face, from marketing available space and finding tenants to evaluating improvements, concessions and lease terms.
That owner perspective informs how Knutson Commercial approaches landlord and retail landlord representation for our clients.
