Landlord Representation

John’s experience includes the following product types: power centers, regional shopping centers, neighborhood shopping centers, specialty centers and strip centers.  John’s success in attracting tenants has never  been more valuable than it is in today’s tough environment. The days of sending out blank site plans or incomplete property information  are over.

The type of information a landlord sends out to a tenant today, especially a national tenant, is extremely important and should always include a merchandising plan showing all the existing tenants as well as any proposed tenants the Landlord is currently working with that conveys to the tenant the landlords vision of how the property will be leased.

The Landlord’s vision is extremely important to tenants, especially national tenants because they rely on suitable co tenants to be a part of the tenant mix before they can give the shopping center any serious consideration. Too many leasing agents do not understand the significance of this concept.

National tenants want to be with other national tenants and are very focused on who else is the Landlord talking to and what is the tenant mix going to look like when the spaces are filled . The first impression the Landlord gives to the tenant is the most important especially in today’s world where tenants are being overwhelmed with properties for lease by landlords. In addition to leasing in line spaces and out parcels John has also done a number of ground leases, especially with restaurants.

The incredible list of tenants that John has worked with over the years include such names as: Marshalls, Bed Bath & Beyond, TJ Max, Ross Stores, Babies R Us, LA Fitness, Pier One, Old Navy, Barnes & Noble, Office Max, Carters, Party City, Off Broadway Shoes, Rack Room Shoes, Famous Footwear, Lane Bryant, Rave, Petco , Dress Barn, Catherine’s, Fashion Bug, Rainbow Shops, Payless Shoes, CVS, FedEx , Mattress Firm, Justice, ULTA, Panera Bread, Sweet Tomatoes, Toojay’s, Quizno’s Longhorn Steaks, Hooters, Dan Marino’s, David’s Bridal, Priscilla’s of Boston, Sal’s Italian Ristorante, Five Guys, Outback Steak House and Fridays.

A 600,000 sq. foot shopping center which was developed in 2007 and is anchored by Target, TJ Max, Babies R Us, Ulta, Old Navy, Pier One, Office Max, Michaels, Sports Authority and Petsmart. John’s knowledge and experience working on large shopping centers proved invaluable when he was hired by the developer as a consultant to help the developer navigate its way through many of the onerous provisions the anchor tenants look for in their leases which can restrict the Landlords ability to operate the shopping center or lease it to other tenants.

In addition to acting as a consultant for all of the anchor deals, John’s company was also hired as the exclusive leasing agent to pre-lease the balance of the Power Center. Prior to completion of the shopping center John was able to provide the Landlord with signed leases for the following tenants: Lane Bryant, Catherine’s, Dress Barn, Famous Footwear, Justice, Mattress Firm, Payless Shoes, Office Max and Tropical Smoothie.
