Total TI Cost vs Square Footage
सूत्र
## Tenant Improvement (TI) Budgeting Tenant improvements are modifications made to commercial space to suit a tenant's specific needs. Understanding costs and the landlord's contribution is critical for lease negotiations. ### Typical TI Costs - **Light cosmetic**: $15-$25/sqft (paint, carpet, minor updates) - **Moderate buildout**: $30-$60/sqft (new walls, ceilings, updated MEP) - **Heavy buildout**: $60-$120/sqft (restaurant, medical, lab) ### Landlord TI Allowance The landlord typically provides a per-square-foot allowance toward improvements. This is negotiated in the lease and depends on: - Lease term (longer term = higher allowance) - Tenant creditworthiness - Market conditions - How specific the buildout is to the tenant ### Important: TI vs. Rent Tradeoff A higher TI allowance often comes with higher rent. The landlord amortizes the TI cost into the rent over the lease term.
हल किया गया उदाहरण
3,000 sqft office at $45/sqft TI cost, $30/sqft landlord allowance, 8% architecture fee, $3,000 permits, 10% contingency.
- 01Base TI cost: 3,000 x $45 = $135,000
- 02Architecture fee: $135,000 x 8% = $10,800
- 03Permits: $3,000
- 04Subtotal: $135,000 + $10,800 + $3,000 = $148,800
- 05Contingency: $148,800 x 10% = $14,880
- 06Total TI cost: $148,800 + $14,880 = $163,680
- 07Landlord allowance: 3,000 x $30 = $90,000
- 08Tenant out-of-pocket: $163,680 - $90,000 = $73,680
- 09Allowance coverage: $90,000 / $163,680 = 55.0%
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Can I negotiate a higher TI allowance?
Yes. TI allowances are highly negotiable, especially in tenant-favorable markets. Offer a longer lease term, demonstrate strong credit, or offer above-asking rent in exchange for more TI dollars. You can also negotiate a TI loan structure where the landlord amortizes excess costs into rent.
What happens to TI at lease end?
Most improvements become property of the landlord. Some leases require you to remove improvements and restore the space (restoration clause). Negotiate removal of this clause for standard office buildouts. Specialty buildouts (kitchen, medical) often must be removed.
Should I use the landlord contractor or my own?
Using the landlord contractor may simplify the process and ensure work meets building standards, but often costs more. Using your own contractor gives you more control over costs and quality. Many leases allow tenant choice with landlord approval of the contractor.
