Commercial real estate transactions can be complex, often involving overlapping factors such as property ownership, business operations, and lease agreements. Unlike residential deals, these transactions require a strategic approach that considers both short-term execution and long-term financial impact.

At The Prosperity Group, we simplify commercial real estate transactions by organizing them into eight Simple Paths. Each path represents a distinct transaction type with its own considerations, strategies, and execution steps. Identifying the correct path early creates clarity, reduces risk, and leads to stronger outcomes.

The Eight Simple Paths of Commercial Real Estate Transactions

1. Purchasing Commercial Real Estate

This path applies to investors and business owners acquiring office buildings, retail properties, industrial facilities, or mixed-use assets. Key considerations include valuation, zoning, tenant income, financing, and long-term return on investment.

2. Selling Commercial Real Estate

Property owners selling commercial assets must focus on strategic pricing, lease analysis, buyer qualification, and market positioning to maximize value and streamline the sale process.

3. Purchasing a Commercial Business

When acquiring a business operating in leased space, buyers must evaluate financial performance, operational stability, and lease terms. Commercial real estate transactions at this level require coordination between business due diligence and landlord negotiations.

4. Selling a Commercial Business

This path involves selling operations without owning the real estate. Lease transfers, buyer approval, confidentiality, and transition planning are critical to a successful outcome.

5. Purchasing a Business and Its Real Estate

Acquiring both the business and the property combines real estate investment strategy with business valuation. These commercial real estate transactions require coordinated financing, layered due diligence, and careful structuring.

6. Selling a Business and Its Real Estate

Owners divesting both assets must determine optimal transaction sequencing, pricing strategy, and buyer alignment to ensure a smooth and profitable exit.

7. Tenants Leasing Commercial Real Estate

Businesses leasing space must consider site selection, lease terms, operating expenses, and future growth. Well-structured leases protect cash flow and operational flexibility.

8. Landlords Leasing Commercial Real Estate

Landlords focus on tenant quality, lease optimization, risk mitigation, and long-term asset performance. Strong leasing strategies enhance income stability and property value.
