Commercial property management: offices, retail and industrial

What the work includes

Commercial property managers operate income-producing assets such as office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties and mixed-use projects. The work can include lease administration, rent and CAM collection, common-area maintenance, vendor contracts, tenant relations, budget preparation, capital planning and coordination of tenant improvements. The complexity rises with the number of tenants and the lease structures involved.

How fees usually work

Commercial management fees are usually negotiated and may be based on a percentage of income, a per-square-foot rate or a flat monthly fee. Construction management, leasing commissions, project management and capital work are often separate. Ask how fees are calculated during vacancy, how CAM reconciliations are handled and whether there are minimum fees.

What to ask before hiring

Ask for examples of CAM reconciliations, lease abstracting, capital plans and vendor bid processes. Confirm who handles tenant improvements, after-hours calls, security and life-safety compliance. Ask how the firm reports on occupancy, collections, work orders and budget variances, and how it coordinates with the owner's leasing team.
