Your rent will likely be based on development costs and reflect a rate of return on the landlord's initial investment (as well as other factors). Commercial leases are typically "triple net" leases, requiring you to pay rent, all taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, common-area-maintenance costs, merchants' association fees, and all other costs associated with the property. Rent will likely exceed the landlord's cost of leasing or financing the purchase of the outlet. You might also have to pay percentage rent and make an initial payment into an escrow fund to cover estimated real estate taxes. The landlord will likely require a security deposit. Rent can range significantly depending on the market and site-specific factors described in this Note 2. The Item 7 table provides an estimate for one month's rent plus one month's security deposit. We currently estimate annual rent to be between $30,000 and $120,000.
