JUST LEASED | North Hollywood Retail 🏢
This one started with a referral and a conversation.
My client, a startup home goods and décor retailer, was exploring where to open its first location. Before focusing on individual spaces, we looked at the bigger picture including market rents, growth patterns, and several areas throughout the Valley.
North Hollywood continued to stand out for its potential.
With a startup, finding the space is only part of the process. It’s also about positioning the deal with landlords. This ownership was selective after prior experiences with newer businesses, so a thoughtful business plan and experienced brokerage representation helped strengthen my client’s overall package.
Now the lease is signed and we’re on to the exciting part — the grand opening! 🎉
Perfect timing, too, as I’m talking with my real estate students this week about creating a market-defining story. This deal was a great real-world example of how understanding the market can help define where a business belongs.
Proud to have represented the tenant.
