What is Commercial Real Estate?
Commercial real estate properties are designed to make money. Commercial properties range from small retail businesses to full-scale manufacturing plants.
Though it is not abnormal for commercial property owners to run businesses out of their own real estate investments, it is much more common for an owner to rent out space to someone else. The rent a tenant pays to the owner becomes that owner’s income.
Commercial property can be used in creative ways to generate income for both its owner and its tenant. To make things simpler, commercial real estate is typically categorized into six different areas:
-
- Housing
- Hotel
- Retail
- Offices
- Industrial
- Special Purpose
Housing includes multi-family units, such as apartment complexes or duplexes. Hotel properties are similar, but they are designed for temporary living and tend to offer amenities to make the person’s stay more pleasant. These can range from small, affordably priced motels to casinos and even resorts.
Do I Need a Commercial Real Estate Lawyer?
Commercial real estate lawyers work to protect individuals and companies from financial pitfalls when buying or selling property. Most home buyers rely on a realtor to ensure the legal details of the contract are handled by a reputable attorney. Business owners, on the other hand, should make it a priority to carefully select an experienced commercial real estate lawyer when buying or selling commercial buildings, leasing retail space, starting construction and development projects, resolving zoning issues, and other types of commercial property transactions.
The commercial real estate lawyers at Hirzel Law represent developers in connection with land purchases and sales and the resulting commercial developments. These projects involve mixed use developments and commercial uses. We assist clients in the initial development and construction of the project, financing, obtaining permits, an analysis of zoning requirements and drafting and entering construction contracts. After the initial buildout is complete, we assist clients with the next phase of the development, including drafting letters of intent, negotiating leases, and reviewing guarantees, promissory notes, and assignments of leases. Once development is complete, we can assist clients in protecting their investment in the project through eviction proceedings and enforcement actions.
