🏬 What Is Percentage Rent in Commercial Real Estate?

Percentage rent is a lease structure commonly used in retail where a tenant pays a base rent, plus a percentage of sales once revenue exceeds an agreed-upon breakpoint.

Depending on the lease, that additional rent may be paid monthly as sales are reported or reconciled at the end of the year.

🏢 Why Does Zoning Matter in Commercial Real Estate?

For commercial property owners, zoning can directly impact an asset’s value, income potential, tenant pool, redevelopment opportunities, and future marketability.

A property may be performing well today, but understanding what else may be permitted on the site can reveal additional opportunities—or potential limitations.

Buyers and investors are not only looking at what a property earns today. They are also evaluating what that property could become in the future.

At Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, we have the resources to help commercial property owners evaluate their real estate from both a current-use and broader market perspective.
