If you live in an urban or suburban location, look around the next time you take a drive. There are commercial properties everywhere. Shopping centers. Office buildings. Stand-alone pharmacies. Warehouses. Malls. Banquet halls. Commercial properties come in all shapes and sizes. Despite the uptick in e-commerce, and despite the ongoing revolution in the commercial marketplace caused by companies like Amazon, there always will be commercial buildings scattered throughout peoples’ communities. Moreover, the owners of those buildings will always be looking to maximize the returns from their assets.

At the most fundamental level, building owners lease “space” to tenants in exchange for rent payments. When people think about rentable space in a commercial property, they immediately tend to think of an indoor unit of some kind. In addition to renting these traditional spaces, many building owners have become more creative in order to maximize the returns from their assets. When appropriate, some building owners charge rent for tenants to place additional signage at a building. Other building owners charge additional rent for prime parking spaces.
