Retail commercial real estate

A NNN (triple-net) lease typically requires the tenant to pay base rent plus property taxes, insurance, and maintenance (or a share of those costs). Exact definitions vary by lease. NNN structures are common for single-tenant retail and some industrial investments. Review each lease carefully; do not assume every “NNN” label means identical obligations.

Landlord representation typically includes positioning the property, marketing vacancies, qualifying tenants, negotiating leases, and coordinating with ownership on pricing and lease structure. The goal is durable occupancy aligned with the owner’s underwriting. MalikCRE provides landlord representation in active California markets published on this site.

Tenant representation means the broker advocates for the tenant — surveying space, comparing economics, and negotiating lease terms — rather than representing the landlord on that assignment. Fees are often paid by the landlord per market custom, but engagement terms should be confirmed in writing. MalikCRE offers tenant representation for industrial, office, retail, and medical users in Southern California.
