Yachts, Jets, Horses & Hooch: Specialized Commercial Leasing Models
These are a few of my favorite things! Defining commercial real estate asset class is essentially a property explaining how it identifies — not necessarily what its original intention was or what others think it ought to be. In a leasing world of mixed-everything uses, even blending traditional categories of commercial leases — retail, office, industrial — seems like a pedestrian, first-step exercise. Subcategories are complex integrations into traditional leasing models and require creatively applied knowledge and extrapolation from macro-category forms of lease.
This article discusses, from a general issue-spot and contextual analysis perspective, how lawyers ought to think about specialized leasing formats and the regulatory backdrops that may inform what the documentation needs to contain for compliance purposes. It also addresses steps of analyses required by leasing lawyers to understand and apply existing leasing law principles to sometimes novel circumstances. In recognition of the fact that this publication is multi-jurisdictional, I've avoided using specific legislative references, where possible, and a deep dive into the contents of such applicable legislation is beyond the scope of this article.
|Asset Class Assessment

COVID-19 and Lease Negotiations: Early Termination Provisions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, some tenants were able to negotiate termination agreements with their landlords. But even though a landlord may agree to terminate a lease to regain control of a defaulting tenant's space without costly and lengthy litigation, typically a defaulting tenant that otherwise has no contractual right to terminate its lease will be in a much weaker bargaining position with respect to the conditions for termination.
