"Right-sizing" isn't just a buzzword—it’s a strategic alignment of your space with your long-term business goals.

Today, NAI North Star’s Kate DeBates and Dave Schooff presented at the Greater Mankato Growth Business Excellence Series, sharing practical tools for navigating today's complex commercial real estate market.

Key Takeaways from the session:

The Math of Waste:
Unused space is a silent cost-killer. For example, 650 sq. ft. of underutilized space at $20/sq. ft. costs your business $13,000 annually.
Market Shifts:
While Mankato’s downtown has seen revitalization, Hilltop office space is currently in high demand with limited availability.
Financial Realities:
Deal-making faces new hurdles with rising insurance costs and property tax re-evaluations upon sale.
Negotiation Power:
Landlords often prefer retaining existing tenants over finding new ones, giving you leverage for building improvements or lease flexibility.

Your space should work for you, not the other way around. Whether you are remodeling or moving, building a team of trusted experts is the first step to success. Let us be there for you when it matters most at NAI Northstar.
