Landlord Representation

A strategic approach to leasing commercial property.

ALTA Properties helps commercial property owners position available space, connect with prospective tenants and negotiate lease terms that align with their ownership objectives across Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County.

How ALTA can help

01

Leasing Strategy & Property Positioning

Effective commercial leasing starts with understanding a property’s competitive position. ALTA helps owners assess available space, identify its distinguishing features and develop a leasing strategy informed by location, property type, market conditions and ownership objectives.

02

Market Analysis & Rental Positioning

Rental rates and lease incentives can influence how prospective tenants evaluate a property. ALTA helps review relevant market information, comparable leasing activity and competing properties to inform rental positioning and identify factors that may affect a property’s appeal.

03

Marketing & Tenant Outreach

Reaching suitable tenants requires a clear presentation of the space and its potential uses. ALTA helps prepare property marketing materials, communicate availability and engage prospective tenants whose business requirements may align with the property, subject to market demand and availability.

04

Lease Negotiation & Transaction Coordination

A leasing proposal involves more than the rental rate. ALTA helps owners evaluate proposed lease terms, negotiate business points and coordinate with prospective tenants and relevant professionals as discussions progress toward an agreement. The aim is to support leasing decisions that reflect the owner’s priorities and the property’s market position.

Sample Transaction

Leasing Vacant Retail Space to a New Business

LANDLORD Y: Owner of a neighborhood retail property

TENANT X: Business seeking its first location in the area

The situation

Landlord Y has vacant retail space in a multi-tenant property in San Diego. The owner wants to attract a suitable tenant while considering rental income, the proposed use of the space, lease duration and the property’s overall tenant mix.

ALTA’s role

ALTA helps Landlord Y assess competing properties and relevant leasing conditions, position the available space, prepare marketing materials and engage prospective tenants. When Tenant X expresses interest, ALTA helps the owner evaluate the proposed rental terms, lease structure and other business considerations.

The objective

Landlord Y evaluates whether the proposed arrangement aligns with the property’s leasing strategy and ownership priorities. The example illustrates how landlord representation can help structure the leasing process, from marketing available space to negotiating proposed terms.
