💡 Commercial Real Estate Tip

One of the most important numbers investors should understand is Net Operating Income (NOI).

NOI measures a property's income after operating expenses but before financing costs.

A strong NOI often indicates a healthy investment—but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

🏢 Commercial Real Estate Term of the Day: Build-Out

A build-out refers to the improvements made to a commercial space to meet a tenant's specific business needs. These modifications can range from simple cosmetic updates like paint and flooring to more extensive renovations such as adding offices, conference rooms, restrooms, or specialized equipment.

Build-outs are common in office, retail, and industrial properties and can play a major role in a tenant's decision to lease a space. In many cases, landlords may offer a Tenant Improvement (TI) Allowance to help cover some of these costs.

Understanding build-outs is important because they can impact your budget, move-in timeline, and overall business operations. The right space isn't just about location—it's about creating an environment that works for your business.

🏬 Retail Site Selection Matters

Choosing the right retail location involves much more than finding an available space. Traffic counts, visibility, accessibility, parking, surrounding businesses, and local demographics all play a role in a location's success.

A great site can increase customer exposure, improve convenience, and support long-term growth. Understanding who your customers are—and where they spend their time—can help ensure your business is positioned to thrive.

🏢 Buyer Tip: Understand Zoning Before You Buy

Before purchasing commercial property or land, make sure the zoning aligns with your intended use. Zoning regulations determine what activities can occur on a property and may impact future development, signage, parking, and expansion plans.

In Minnehaha and Lincoln Counties, zoning information can be found through the county Planning & Zoning departments and GIS mapping tools. Taking a few minutes to verify zoning upfront can help avoid costly surprises later. 📍

Discover, analyze and download data from Minnehaha County Open Data. Download in CSV, KML, Zip, GeoJSON, GeoTIFF or PNG. Find API links for GeoServices, WMS, and WFS. Analyze with charts and thematic maps. Take the next step and create StoryMaps and Web Maps.

📊 Commercial Real Estate Term of the Day: NOI

NOI, or Net Operating Income, is one of the most important metrics used to evaluate an income-producing commercial property.

Simply put, NOI is the income a property generates after operating expenses are deducted. These expenses may include property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and management costs—but do not include mortgage payments or income taxes.

Why is NOI important?
✔️ Helps investors evaluate a property's profitability
✔️ Used to determine property value
✔️ Plays a key role in calculating metrics like Cap Rate
✔️ Allows investors to compare different investment opportunities

A strong NOI can indicate a well-performing property, making it a critical number for buyers, sellers, and investors to understand.

🏢 Lease vs. Buy: What's Right for Your Business?

Leasing offers flexibility, lower upfront costs, and the ability to adapt as your business grows. Buying, on the other hand, allows you to build equity, gain long-term stability, and have greater control over your space.

The right choice depends on your business goals, financial position, and future plans. Understanding the benefits of each option can help you make a decision that supports your long-term success.
