In the Spotlight: Outparcel Leasing and Sales ' Concepts to Consider

By Glenn A. Browne
February 27, 2006

When leasing or selling parcels of property that are located outside of an enclosed shopping center but within the perimeter of the shopping center property (eg, along the interior road of the shopping center, along the peripheral boundary of the shopping center, or along shared parking fields of a shopping center), a landlord should consider several concepts that may not be considered critical issues when leasing in-line space. However, for purposes of leasing or selling outparcel locations, these concepts are not only financially important to the landlord, but also will impact the day-to-day operations of a shopping center. These concepts include parking, insurance/casualty, maintenance and repair, and signage.

Parking

Often when leasing or selling an outparcel, the tenant or purchaser requires that a certain number of parking spaces also be designated or set aside for exclusive use by the outparcel. Further, the tenant or purchaser will want to designate by signage or otherwise the particular parking field that is set aside for customers of that particular outparcel. Several factors may impact the decision of the landlord to designate parking spaces for a particular outparcel. In particular, the proximity of the outparcel to adjacent tenants that have a heavy parking use (eg, restaurants, movie theaters, etc.), restrictions imposed by reciprocal easement agreements or covenants of record relating to the establishment at the shopping center of tenant-specific parking fields, and governmental restrictions mandating the necessity that a certain number of parking spaces be used by the entire shopping center, may need to be considered before specific parking spaces are allocated to a specific outparcel.

The Stranger to the Deed Rule Image

In 1987, a unanimous Court of Appeals reaffirmed the vitality of the "stranger to the deed" rule, which holds that if a grantor executes a deed to a grantee purporting to create an easement in a third party, the easement is invalid. Daniello v. Wagner, decided by the Second Department on November 29th, makes it clear that not all grantors (or their lawyers) have received the Court of Appeals' message, suggesting that the rule needs re-examination.
