Suppose that you have been offered a 10-year lease with the following terms:
30,000 square feet of space Year 1 rent is $15 per square foot per year. Rent will escalate at 2.5% per year.
Year 1 operating expenses are expected to be $3 per square foot per year. Operating expenses are expected to escalate at a rate of 3% per year. The landlord will provide a tenant improvement allowance of $20 per square foot. The landlord is offering the following concessions: Years 1 and 2 will be rent-free. What is the effective rent for this lease? Assume a discount rate of 8% per year.
We need to calculate the equivalent annual annuity to get the effective rent
We first chalk out the cash-flows
Hence, effective rent = $393801.63
