Drafting a Ground Lease When the Underlying Tenant Will Be a Single-Use Entity
June 01, 2004
Commercial real estate professionals often draft ground leases for those situations in which a tenant (the "Ground Lessee/Sublessor") leases land from a fee owner (the "Ground Lessor") to be developed into a shopping center or some other development with a mix of retail or other commercial tenants. Numerous occasions arise, however, in which a ground lease is needed because the Ground Lessee/Sublessor intends to sublease the parcel to a single-use tenant entity (the "Tenant"). When drafting the sublease for this Tenant, the real estate practitioner must tailor the ground lease to take into account the specific requirements of the Tenant's sublease.
Environmental Issues in Leasing Transactions
June 01, 2004
Due to the potential for extraordinary liability associated with contamination problems, landlords and tenants in commercial leasing transactions should address environmental concerns in the leasing documents. Subsurface contamination involving soil and groundwater concerns could result in substantial costs and liabilities for both parties. In addition, asbestos can present unique issues for both the landlord and the tenant. The landlord should be concerned that the tenant's operations will result in the contamination of the premises. The tenant should be concerned that existing contamination, whether soil, groundwater, the presence of asbestos, or other problems, could present liability issues for itself.

In the Spotlight: Tenants Should Keep Watch for Innocuous-Appearing Provisions
June 01, 2004
Most leases provide for a rent abatement in the event of a casualty to either the building or leased premises that renders the leased premises unfit for the tenant's use until the casualty damage has been repaired. At first glance, the only items to be negotiated in such provisions are those that clarify what portion of the building or premises — as the case may be — must be affected in order to provide for an abatement, how quickly the landlord is obligated to restore the damage, and under what circumstances the parties may terminate the lease.
