Commercial property owners never know what’s in store for them at the end of their present contract. Sometimes it can get a little unnerving when an old tenant moves out and another prepares to move in. We understand that type of uncertainty and strive to help you through the tenant improvement process without the usual headaches it causes.
We’re Hendren Construction Company, located in Albuquerque, NM. Give us a call to discuss your tenant improvement needs. For now, let’s look at some of the more common changes tenants request when moving into a new commercial property.
- Full Service Remodels: Remodeling the entire interior is often required in order to meet the needs of healthcare centers or other service-centric tenants.
- Bathroom Renovations: Bathroom renovations often include the addition of multiple bathrooms or the addition of a public bathroom for guests. We will install private or public restrooms based on the needs of the tenant.
- Kitchen or Break Room Renovations: Most professional offices provide a break room or a kitchen area for employees who prefer to pack lunch. The break room should also include an area for watching television and relaxing for a period of time.
- Individual Office Spaces: Individual offices or cubicles are often required for privacy or to prevent unnecessary noise from desk to desk.
- Retail Showrooms: Retail tenants require a space to showcase their wares, and often request a stage of sorts to display mannequins in the window.
- Showcases, Cabinetry, and Countertops: Jewelers and companies that sell rare, small items require the addition of glass panels and special lighting to showcase their wares. They may request the installation of glass panel cabinetry and countertops.
- Lighting and Fixtures: Specific lighting is often requested to prevent headaches, to add natural lighting or even to draw customers’ attention to a specific area of the showroom. Lighting is often used to bring attention to sales or to highlight expensive items.
- Flooring and Finishes: The flooring material is one of the most commonly changed items during a tenant improvement project. Where one tenant loved carpet, another may prefer concrete or tile flooring polished to a mirror finish.
- Entry and Lobby: Some tenants require a nice formal entryway or lobby where others do not. Tenants who provide a service, such as a spa or healthcare, generally need a very nice lobby for customers to sit comfortably while they wait. A retail outlet, on the other hand, would not need a comfortable lobby, but may prefer display cases or mannequins with spotlights instead.
Tenant improvements often require the addition or removal of walls and the modification of entire showrooms. We know that your commercial property is important to you and we will work diligently to maintain the integrity and beauty while also providing what your tenant requires in order to properly operate their business.
