Landlord Leasing Strategy.

Positioning your commercial space correctly before it goes to market determines how quickly it leases and at what rate. Lucero advises landlords on net rent positioning, tenant targeting, lease structure and negotiation across Ontario and Alberta.

Leasing Strategy · Ontario & Alberta

Get the Rate Right.
Target the Right Tenant.

Vacancy costs more than a below-market rent. Landlords who go to market without a clear positioning strategy — on price, tenant profile and lease structure — consistently underperform the market. Lucero advises industrial, retail and office landlords on how to position their space, who to target, and how to structure a lease that protects long-term asset value.

Before You Go to Market

What Landlords
Get Wrong.

The three most common leasing mistakes — and how Lucero addresses each.

Pricing Without Context
Net rent must reflect current market demand, not comparable asking rents from 18 months ago. Lucero prices from active transaction data, not stale listings.
Wrong Tenant Target
Not every building fits every tenant. Industrial clear heights, dock configuration, power supply and yard area determine the tenant pool before a lease is negotiated.
Weak Lease Structure
Lease term, renewal options, fixturing periods, demolition clauses and landlord work obligations are negotiated — not just accepted. A poor lease structure costs more than vacancy.

What Lucero Does

Landlord Leasing
Process.

01
Market Assessment
Review current vacancy, absorption, net rent trends and active tenant demand in your submarket before establishing an asking rate.
02
Tenant Targeting
Identify the qualified tenant profiles your building can serve — based on specifications, location, zoning and operational fit — and target them directly.
03
Lease Negotiation
Negotiate on net rent, term, renewals, landlord work, fixturing allowance, and lease covenants — protecting your position while closing the right tenant.
04
Mandate Management
Lucero manages the landlord mandate from assessment through execution — reducing vacancy time and improving covenant quality for your asset.
