Useful terms

to know before signing

a commercial real estate lease Whether negotiating the terms of your commercial lease agreement or trying to get a better picture of the full costs you’re about to assume, understanding the terminology of your contract is crucial.

While it’s always best to have your lawyer (preferably one specializing in commercial real estate) review your agreement, here are some of the more common terms you’ll 10

want understand – before you sign.

1. Incidental expenses

Your costs on top of base rent.

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

These can include property tax, insurance, utilities, maintenance, common area costs and repairs.

2. Common area maintenance

This is an incidental expense in some commercial real estate leases. All tenants generally share common area costs. Examples include fees for snow removal, janitorial services, landscaping, grass cutting and property management.

October 21–November 18, 2023

base rent plus property taxes (though in some cases, you might pay for insurance or utilities instead). The landlord pays all other expenses.

6. Double-net lease (NN)

When you usually pay the base rent plus two incidentals – for example, property taxes and insurance. The landlord covers all other expenses.

7. Triple-net lease (NNN)

A type of commercial real estate lease under which you typically pay the base rent, plus property taxes, building insurance and utilities, as well as other operating and maintenance costs. The landlord assumes no costs, other than those for structural repairs.

8. Percentage rent lease

Where you pay a base rent plus a percentage of gross sales over a certain minimum. These are usually used in malls and other multi-tenant retail locations.

9. Tenant improvement allowance

A cash amount offered by a landlord to help you pay for renovations to a leased space. The allowance is usually a certain amount of money per square foot of rented space.

It is sometimes offered as a tenant inducement.

3. Gross rent lease

When you pay a single amount to the landlord that covers base rent and all incidental expenses.

4. Modified gross lease

When you and the landlord share certain incidental expenses.

5. Net lease

Where you typically pay for one incidental expense directly. In a single-net lease, you usually pay the October 21–November 18, 2023

10. Tenant inducements

Incentives offered by a landlord to encourage you to rent a space.

Examples include several months’ rent free or help with paying for leasehold improvements.

11. Trade fixtures

Items in a leased space that you can take with you when you move out and can generally be easily removed without damaging the property.

Examples include furniture, inventory and computers. Get advice from a commercial real estate lawyer before signing a lease to clearly define trade fixtures and to seek exclusions for assets you want to take with you when you leave.

12. Turnkey improvements (also known as turnkey buildouts)

Renovations that a landlord carries out at your request when you sign a lease. A landlord may agree to these as a tenant inducement.

13. Leasehold improvements (also known as tenant improvements)

Renovations to a leased commercial real estate space to make it suitable for your business.

Unless otherwise specified in the lease, any improvement that is attached to the building usually becomes the property of the landlord, meaning you can’t take it with you when you move out.

Examples can include machinery, flooring and built-in shelving. Get advice from a commercial real estate lawyer when negotiating a lease to seek exclusions for assets that you want to take with you when you leave.

Remember: If necessary, you can always apply for a leasehold improvement loan, a short-term loan (often amortized over five or six years) that you can use to pay for renovations to a leased space. You can sometimes negotiate a principal holiday for the first six to 12 months of the loan. Depending on the value of the improvement, a bank may accept the improvement as collateral for the loan, which could result in a lower interest rate than that for an unsecured loan. CI

Five tips for a

successful commercial real estate purchase Buying real estate is a costly undertaking, and business owners need to exercise due diligence every step of the way. Without proper planning, entrepreneurs can face a host of problems, including inadequate financing, unexpected construction costs, inefficient layout and environmental lawsuits.

Although real estate costs have shot up in recent decades, entrepreneurs are still usually better off buying properties than renting them. Not only will they not be faced with 14

rent increases, but their property may appreciate in value as well.

Plus, a buyer can deduct the value of a loan, mortgage interest or depreciation in the value of a

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

building from company taxes – something that can’t be done when renting.

So, what makes a successful commercial real estate acquisition?

Here are five tips that can help.

1. Understand the local real estate market

Before making a decision on what to buy, pay heed to where you’re buying. Each local market has its own tax rates, land inventory and environmental issues. The supply of skilled labour in the area also needs to be considered.

October 21–November 18, 2023

2. Consult an accountant

Affordability is a big issue in commercial real estate today, so before you go to a bank, work with an accountant to determine your budget. Make sure your budget includes all hidden costs.

Tax implications can also be complex in real estate transactions.

It’s important to consult an accountant who knows the ins and outs of commercial real estate deals.

Your accountant will be able to tell you, for instance, whether the purchase should be considered a corporate or personal transaction.

Other issues include succession planning, transition financing and decisions about how assets will be broken up when the business is sold.

3. Get your financing in order

Getting approved for commercial real estate financing isn’t easy. Bankers October 21–November 18, 2023

will want to see high-quality financial statements and evidence that the profits you generate are being retained by your company. All of this will play a big role in determining whether you get the commercial real estate loan you want.

Shop around for the best financing package. While the interest rate is important, it’s far from the whole story. Other factors such as what percentage of the purchase a financial institution is willing to finance are equally, if not more, important.

Resist the temptation to sway lenders with overly optimistic forecasts – payment problems down the line can boost costs and reduce your manoeuvring room.

4. Plan your layout well

Whether it’s an existing building or one you’re renovating, layout has a major impact on operational

efficiency. It’s often a good idea to hire an operational efficiency expert to advise you on how to optimize your layout.

5. Choose the right builders

You should be looking for quality builders who have a good reputation and are responsive to your needs. Key traits of good builders include experience, timeliness and knowledge of your industry.

For example, if your building must meet food-industry standards, your builder should have expertise in that sector. A builder’s financial history should also be considered. You don’t want a situation, for example, where a contractor is taking your deposit to fund a previous job where they ran out of money. If you have any doubts, do a credit check. CI Source: BDC.ca

Tips on how to choose a group insurance plan for your small business

A well-designed group benefits plan can offer significant advantages for your employees and your business. It can help you attract and retain top talent, promote a healthy work environment and differentiate your business from your competitors.

“A group insurance plan can be a flexible and affordable way to enhance your total compensation package,” explains John Carinci, VP and head, operations and client experience, RBC Insurance. “Many Canadian employees identify their benefits plan as a key reason for remaining with their current employer.

In fact, given the choice, 59 per cent of employees would prefer group benefits over a 10 per cent 18

salary increase.” Before choosing a group insurance plan, consider the following three tips: • Define your objectives – To identify whether you need a basic plan or a comprehensive plan, first identify your primary purpose for implementing a benefits package. The plan you choose may be different depending on whether your goal is to attract new talent, retain existing employees, or simply offer basic coverage.

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

• Provide coverage your employees will use – Talk to your employees about their needs prior to selecting your group plan. By doing the research up front, you’ll avoid paying for features your employees won’t use, while also aligning the plan to your stated objectives.

• Choose a plan that is a good fit for you and your employees – A good benefits package provides a benchmark level of coverage that meets the needs of your employees, at a cost that you are comfortable with. Prepare a list of questions for your advisor to ensure you are delivering the best solution possible. CI For more information, visit rbcinsurance.com/groupbenefits October 21–November 18, 2023

Survey:

More Millennials look to own recreational property A RE/MAX survey released June 6 and conducted

by Leger finds 56 per cent of Millennials are in the market to purchase a recreational property. This is up 14 per cent from last year when 42 per cent of this demographic considered buying recreational property.

22

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

In 2018, 91 per cent of recreational markets surveyed reported it was Baby Boomers, especially retirees, who were driving the recreational market. The increase in buying intentions among younger people shows the start of a new trend in who will fuel this segment of the property market, and what they are looking to purchase.

October 21–November 18, 2023

“We are finally witnessing the long-anticipated generational shift of purchasing power from Baby Boomers to Millennials,” says Christopher Alexander, executive vice-president, RE/MAX of OntarioAtlantic Canada. “With the high cost of urban living taking many young homebuyers out of those markets, more Millennials are turning to recreational properties as a viable option for home ownership.”

Price remains the top consideration for recreational property buyers, with 61 per cent of survey respondents naming affordability as the most important factor. However, liveability also plays a crucial role in the selection process.

“This new buyer demographic comes with a different lifestyle and property criteria than those of their Boomer counterparts,” Alexander adds. “Factors like Internet connectivity, recreational activities and proximity to towns with urban conveniences are becoming a more important selling feature.”

The survey also reveals that 64 per cent of Canadians want recreational properties to relax and spend time with friends and family.

Forty-three per cent say they are able to do things not available at their permanent residence, such as hiking and fishing, with Millennials ranking higher (50 per cent) than Boomers (38 per cent) in this sentiment.

When it comes to the actual property, the survey also found that other than affordable purchase price, Canadians who own or would consider owning a recreational property named reasonable maintenance costs waterfront access, and proximity to town as the most important factors when purchasing.

October 21–November 18, 2023

These findings differ regionally, with more Atlantic Canadians (39 per cent) looking for seclusion compared to residents in western provinces (28 per cent) or Ontario (26 per cent).

Ontarians, on the other hand, are more likely to look into the property’s proximity to town and

the accessibility of nearby medical facilities.

Additionally, the findings revealed that 54 per cent of Canadians travel (or would like to travel) to their recreational property in about two hours or less, while 22 per cent travel (or would travel) three or more hours. CI

Key findings from the 2019 RE/MAX Recreational Property Omnibus Survey 1. Forty per cent of Canadians are in the market for a recreational property, 56 per cent of Millennials are in the market for a recreational property 2. Canadians cite the following reasons to own or want to own a recreational property: • It is where I can go and relax and spend time with friends and family = 64 per cent • It is a getaway home = 58 per cent • I can do activities I can’t do at my permanent residence (hiking, fishing, etc.) = 43 per cent • It is an investment property = 30 per cent • It is a retirement home = 20 per cent • Other = two per cent 3. Thirty per cent of Canadians who say they use or would use a recreational property as an investment opportunity, Millennials rank the highest at 33 per cent, compared to Boomers at 28 per cent.

4. More than half (54 per cent) of Canadians who own or are considering owning a recreation property are willing to travel up

to two hours, 24 per cent saying they would travel two hours.

Slightly less (22 per cent) are willing to travel three or more hours.

5. Canadians identify the following features as important when considering their current recreational property or a future purchase of a recreational property: • Affordable purchase price = 61 per cent • Reasonable maintenance costs = 46 per cent • Waterfront access = 45 per cent • Proximity to town = 44 per cent • Reasonable distance from primary residence = 35 per cent • Relative seclusion = 28 per cent • Land access = 24 per cent • Proximity to sports/recreation = 24 per cent • Nearby neighbouring properties = 12 per cent • Island property = seven per cent • Other = one per cent • None, don’t mind which features my recreational property has = seven per cent • Don’t know/prefer not to answer = seven per cent
