Separate occupancy from investment
State whether the property is primarily for business occupancy, investment or both. Define acceptable vacant possession, tenant and lease profile, parking, access, systems, improvement condition and near-term capital exposure.
Compare the whole asset
Normalize price, area basis, income, operating expenses, recoveries, taxes, leasing costs, vacancy assumptions and planned capital. Keep seller-provided, third-party and independently verified evidence separate.
Control due diligence
Coordinate title, leases, survey, zoning, permits, physical condition, environmental, accessibility, insurance, tax, appraisal and financing review with qualified professionals.
Plan the exit before closing
Test business relocation, reletting, refinancing, future capital and disposition scenarios. Ownership creates control and concentration that should be visible in the same decision model.
Evidence boundary: office availability and quoted economics change. Confirm current premises, authority, area, costs, permitted use and documents for the specific transaction. Read the methodology.
