Dubai is one of the fastest growing business centers in the world. Supported by buoyant prices of the crude oil, a flourishing tourism and growing retail sector and the ever developing real estate industry, Dubai has evolved as a great place to set up an office and expand your business horizons.

However, the recent downfall of rentals in Dubai has splurged many to lease a commercial property in Dubai. The process of leasing commercial property in Dubai is slightly different from that of residential property. It is not like that a tenant and a landlord meet for commercial property transaction and sign the document, there is always a need of right commercial property lease document that can be beneficial for both.

Following are the few types of leases that you should know while renting a commercial property in Dubai:

Gross Lease – It is often described as a general form of lease in which full services are included. Basically, here tenant pays a set amount of rent and the landlord is responsible for the payment of taxes, insurance and other costs associated with owning the property.

Modern Net Lease – This type of lease is quite helpful for both tenant as well as landlord. Here the charges are being divided, like if a landlord pays maintenance charges than the tenant pays insurance premium or other operating charges.

Triple-Net Lease – This type of a lease have the tenant paying a certain percentage of all the expenses like rent, maintenance and insurance. This kind of lease is extensively used while renting commercial property in Dubai as it is beneficial for both tenant as well landlord. For landlord, he gets significant amount of share in all expenses and for tenant the fixed rent is lower.

Land Lease – The landlord rent out the land to the tenant and he constructs building on it. This kind of lease agreements are for longer period but once the lease period is over, land plus the improvement done on it including building reverts back to the land owner.

Move in Dubai ( http://www.moveindubai.com ) is a fresh, modern and dynamic rental company in Dubai and offers a wide range of portals for renting commercial property in Dubai. Move in Dubai caters for the need of both, by searching best rental property at affordable prices for tenants and also searches valuable tenants for landlords.

The location of your Miami commercial real estate, especially if it’s a retail space, is critically important. The profitability of your business will be useless if it is located in a humdrum area of the city. This is why checking out the property you’re planning to lease and studying its location is crucial for your marketing efforts. And to help you choose the right location for your retail property, here are some helpful considerations.

Nature of the business 

The nature of your business will most likely include the type of products or services you’re offering. This will also initially dictate the perfect location for the Miami commercial real estate property you’re looking for. Not all type of goods is suitable for every location. Specialty goods, for instance, are very hard to place since they demand a specific set of consumers. 

When it comes to selling your products or offering your services, you should also take into account easy access. Your shop must be easily accessible to your customers in order to help them make a purchase quickly. 

Type of customers 

You must also consider the customers you’re trying to reach when choosing the location of your Miami commercial real estate property. When visiting a specific location, don’t forget to do your research on the local demographics and the local demand for your product. You can easily do this by talking to other retailers in the area, going to the city or state’s chamber of commerce. Also, remember to keep in mind several contributing factors, including age, income and general preference. 

Visibility and traffic 

These two are two of the most important parts of commercial real estate leasing. How else can you attract potential buyers if you don’t choose a location that receives a significant amount of visit and traffic from the community? But you should also choose the right traffic. 

The best way to determine if the area receives enough traffic is to drive by it at different times of the day. It is also crucial for the area to be served by public transportation, and provide adequate parking for customers. And while you’re driving by, see to it if the property is indeed visible from various locations. 

Competition 

Other businesses in the area can help or hurt your own venture. So when choosing a Miami commercial real estate property, pay attention to its neighboring businesses and determine which of those can improve your business, return-of-investment wise, and which can pose potential dangers.

Commercial Real Estate Companies

Commercial real estate is often referred as investment or income property. It refers to building intended to generate a profit by a capital gain or rental income. Properties are developed and then given on lease or sell to commercial or business use in order to generate profitable return on investment.

Commercial properties include office buildings, farm land, medical centers, hotels, malls, retail stores, shopping centre, multifamily housing building, warehouse, garages, etc. Commercial properties could be broadly divided into four categories as retail, office, industrial and multifamily. Where first three were only known as commercial properties in earlier days but now multifamily building is also considered as commercial real estate.

Commercial Real Estate Development

Real estate developers normally acquire natural or undeveloped land and improve it with roads, entitlement of land, etc. After improvements are made to that land it is subdivided and sold to generate profits. Multi storey shopping malls which offer high end luxury tastes at middle class rates has increased the visitors and even the demand for more and more commercial property developments in India. Commercial real estate development is to be done with extreme research because each place is not suited for commercial purpose.

The commercial real estate companies in India are involved professionally in the commercial property development business. Real estate companies in India play important role in country’s economy. Raising a building on that is not that easy, we need so many consultants and a lot of procedures are to be completed to own a building whether it is going to be residential or commercial property, the real estate companies does it all. Among many industries, almost 75% to 85%, the commercial real estate companies are pioneer in terms of stocks, job opportunities and in many other parameters.

A good commercial real estate company conducts a market research, gathers information and analyzes it in each and every possible aspect. When market research reports are positive in order to generate a good profit they will start the process of acquisition of land. Once land is acquired land is developed and basic infrastructure is created. Slowly and gradually this infrastructure is developed in to a building which is then sold or leased to individual interested in the property. This land could be used for various purposes like multiplexes, exclusive showrooms, shopping centers, IT centers, warehousing, and multistoried parking.

Over the period of time return on investment on properties has increased and hence more and more companies are plunging in the commercial real estate development. The value of appreciation on commercial property in India is increasing annually at a rate between 8 to 10 percent. Commercial real estate is considered to be the best investment in order to generate huge profits in shorter time period.

In this rush of real estate development a customer must choose a commercial real estate property wisely. One must take into consideration traffic count, frontage, quality development, right partner, good price, etc. factors when choosing commercial property. Also one should choose right kind of commercial property developer in India depending on reputation in market, kind of material they use in developing, services provided by them, clearance of land title, etc.

Commercial Property Development

Current trend in the commercial real estate companies is constructing multifamily building and townships. Many townships in India are expanding at a fast pace. Many new residential properties in India and commercial properties in Indian are being developed to satisfy the growing demand of Indian properties. All this directs to a good investment opportunity for people who want to have a base in the city. A lot of new projects are in the initial stages which make the prices quite affordable. These kind of commercial properties which are used as commercial and residential purpose both are turning out to be real gem for real estate developers in India. This kind of commercial property in India is easy to sell and have high profits in return. Indian commercial properties are no doubt an ideal sector to invest as they generate stable income compared to the dwindling stock market.

Businesses are being warned to avoid tempting but potentially costly shortcuts in commercial property leases. The advice comes following the publication of a new stronger code of practice that includes a step-by-step guide for tenants to negotiate a lease. Leading city law firm, Hegarty Solicitors, welcomes thecode of practice, but says it is not a substitute for expert legal advice that can often secure substantial savings for businesses and anticipate issues that arise years after a lease is signed.

New Government Backed Code

The new ‘Code for Leasing Business Premises’ that was launched in March 2007 by Housing Minster Yvette Cooper, has been published to clarify the process and aims to assist new businesses that are new to negotiating leases for shops and offices.

Commercial Property Partner Richard Hegarty says businesses might be tempted to try and handle negotiating the lease themselves, but it is their lack of experience that makes them more vulnerable, and they need to realise the importance of using experienced property lawyers.

Richard explained, “The new code is not compulsory but is regarded more as a basis for negotiation rather than a blueprint for a lease.”

”I would strongly recommend that anyone entering into lease negotiations takes expert legal advice. The code is still quite complicated, and businesses should take into consideration the time they want to spend trying to understand the lease, and what happens when something goes wrong at a later stage”

”Also, the code is standardized but every property is different. A commercial property lawyer would able to provide specialist advice on each individual scenario and know to look for anything unusual in the lease.”

Negotiating Yourself; A False Economy

He continued, “When people are starting up we know that every penny counts, and they might think they will save money handling the lease themselves. A commercial property lawyer is really like an insurance policy. We are highly experienced at negotiating leases and can often obtain a better deal than they could themselves. The savings they could make can dwarf the legal costs involved, and they have peace of mind knowing they are fully aware of their rights and commitments in the lease.”

The new code suggests that landlords may not want to tie tenants in for lengthy periods. Richard says that when a company is unsure of it’s future, perhaps because it is new or in an unstable market it can make sense to have a shorter lease period. However, many other businesses prefer to have the security of knowing they will not be looking for other premises or incurring moving costs in the near future.

”When you are busy running a business the last thing you want to contend with is the pressure of having to find new premises. The length of a lease is very important, and a commercial property lawyer would be able you help you make a decision to suit you and your business,” commented Richard.

Real estate has always been known as the safest of investments.

In fact, real estate investment completed after proper research into and evaluation of the property (to determine actual and future value), can lead to tremendous profit.

This is one reason many people choose real estate investment as their full time job.

Discussions about real estate tend to focus on residential real estate; commercial real estate, except to seasoned investors, is often overlooked.

However, commercial real estate presents a great option for investing in real estate.

Commercial real estate includes a large variety of property types.

To a majority of people, commercial real estate is only office buildings or factories or industrial units.

However, that is not all of commercial real estate. There is far more to commercial real estate.

Strip malls, health care centers, retail units and warehouse are all good examples of commercial real estate as is vacant land.

Even residential properties like apartments (or any property that consists of more than four residential units) are considered commercial real estate. In fact, such commercial real estate is very much in demand.

So, is commercial real estate really profitable?

Absolutely, in fact if it were not profitable I would not be writing about commercial real estate at all!!

However, with commercial real estate recognizing the opportunity is a bit more difficult when compared to residential real estate.

But commercial real estate profits can be huge in fact, often much bigger than you might realize from a residential real estate transaction of the same size.

There are many reasons to delve into commercial real estate investment.

For example you might purchase to resell after a certain appreciation level has occured or to generate a substantial income by leasing the property out to retailers or other business types or both.

In fact, commercial real estate development is treated as a preliminary indicator of the impending growth of the residential real estate market.

Therefore, once you recognize the probability of significant commercial growth within a region (whatever the reason i.e. municipal tax concessions), you should begin to evaluate the potential for appreciation in commercial real estate prices and implement your investment strategy quickly.

Regarding commercial real estate investment strategies it is important that you identify and set investment goals (i.e. immediate income through rental vs later investment income through resale) and that you know what you can afford and how you will effect the purchase.

It would be wise to determine your goals then meet with your banker (or financier) prior to viewing and selecting your commercial real estate.

Also remain open minded and understand that should the right (perfect) opportunity present itself, your investment strategy might need to be revisited and altered, sometimes considerably.

For example: If you find a commercial real estate property too expensive for you to buy alone but represents tremendous opportunity, you could look at forming a small investor group (i.e. with friends or family) and buy it together (splitting the profits later).

Or in another case (i.e. when a retail boom is expected in a region), though your commercial real estate investment strategy was devised around purchasing vacant land, you might find it more profitable to buy a property such as a strip mall or small plaza that you can lease to retailers or a property that you can convert into a warehouse for the purpose of renting to small businesses.

In a nutshell, commercial real estate presents a huge variety of and tremendous investing opportunities, you just need to recognize them and go for it.

After spending time learning about the different types of commercial investment property and determining whether you prefer a retail, office or industrial property, you will know what type of investment property you want to purchase. It’s time now for the fun part – actually finding your commercial investment property!
There are a number of places you can look when hunting for a commercial property that will meet all of your criteria.
Internet – The internet is worthwhile as a first point of reference because you can quickly and easily source the availability of commercial property you are looking for, within the price range you are willing to pay and the location you have decided upon. You can narrow down your search with little or no time lost.
Commercial Property Agents – You will also come up with a list of commercial property agents that you can contact. Bear in mind that residential property agents may not be familiar with commercial property, so it’s probably preferable to discuss your needs with a commercial agent to ensure you get sound advice. They can also act as your negotiator to help achieve a realistic price on the property you wish to purchase. The agent’s job is to work for the seller, but all agents know full well – no sale, no commission!
Until you become more experienced in commercial property investment, it may also be a good idea to have a go between (such as a commercial agent) act as your negotiator in purchasing the property.
Newspapers – Another place you might want to look is in the newspapers. A commercial property that’s been advertised privately by the owner is usually worth considering.
Property Owners – Approaching a property owner directly is an option if you feel confident in negotiating the purchase of a commercial property. This option is not for everyone. You will need to be familiar with local commercial real estate and its value to make sure you are paying the right price for the property. If you do decide on this approach, it’s prudent to speak with a solicitor and a property valuer.
Property Seminars – Attending property seminars is a way to connect with people who may be able to put you on to a good property deal or who may be able to help you when the time comes to purchase your commercial investment property. These include commercial property solicitors, finance brokers, etc.
When you think you’ve found the right commercial investment property, be sure to do some thorough investigation that includes a detailed look at the lease agreement and checks on the property itself. You should get professional help here.
Happy hunting and may your next commercial property investment add significant value to your wealth-creation strategy.

Once you’ve decided you want to invest in commercial property, the next piece of the puzzle is to decide which type of commercial property. Will you buy a shopping center? An industrial warehouse? An office? These are the three main types of commercial investment property, and there are important differences the commercial property investor should be aware of.
Retail Property
A major shopping center would generally be too big and expensive as a first investment. Suburban strip shops or small retail buildings located in sound country towns and cities are more likely to suit small and medium investors initially.
If it’s difficult to find quality freehold or standalone retail property at prices that fit within your budget, you can also consider retail strata units.
There are several things you’ll want to look for when choosing a retail investment property. Firstly, a good location is always important. As you’ve no doubt heard, when dealing with property it’s ‘location, location, location!’ You want to be in an area with adequate car parking and lots of pedestrian traffic. Why? Because pedestrian traffic equals business for retailers and business pays the rent – and the rent directly affects your property’s value.
A strong retail investment will have a quality tenant and a sound lease. A vacant property is your biggest potential drawback when investing in retail property. Ensuring your property is located in an area of high pedestrian traffic flow reduces your risk of having a vacant retail property, since retail businesses generally do well in these locations.
If looking for retail properties located in the city, try to find those located near train stations. Local governments often support the development of residential properties around train stations, and residential development will increase pedestrian traffic.
Industrial Property
One of the main reasons why a new or inexperienced investor would disregard industrial property is because it is often not very ‘pretty’ to look at! In previous years industrial property was almost completely dominated by manufacturing premises – but now it’s largely warehouses and distribution centers with an office and sometimes a showroom component. These properties are usually cleaner than manufacturing premises – if this is important to you as an investor.
Industrial property is often strata-titled, which makes it very affordable for the small or medium investor. When selecting an industrial investment property you would look for a building with clear span (as opposed to a building with a large number of pillars taking up floor space), high ceilings, and wide access doors, as these specifications will appeal to most industrial tenants.
Always remember that with industrial property road transport access is critical for the smooth, efficient flow of goods, both in to and out of the premises. You’ll want to find a building that is located near, and offers good access to and from, the major highways. Be sure that large trucks and semi-trailers can easily manoeuvre in and out of the lot without having to back-up. This can make corner lots extremely attractive.
Offices
A small freehold or standalone building or strata suites are the most likely choice for investors who want to purchase offices. Keep in mind that when the economy is strong, there is usually keen competition in purchasing offices because business owners are looking to purchase their premises rather than rent them. This is the main reason why offices are often offered for sale without an existing tenant.
When you do purchase a strata office with a tenant, you will usually get a true net return – where the tenant pays all the expenses for the property. Be sure to verify this in the lease documentation.
A major advantage of a freehold or standalone building is that there is potential to redevelop the property in the future for greater capital gains – while a strata suite often has very little land content, so you simply don’t have that option. Also, with strata property you don’t have sole control in the decisions affecting the property.

Real estate is often known as the safest investment available. Because,real estate investing executed with correct evaluation of the property (and its true value), can result in good earnings. This is one reason how come a few people engage in real estate investing as their regular job. The dialogue of real property are broadly centered toward residential real estate; commercial real estate seems to be not as popular. All the same, commercial real estate also is a good alternative for investing in property.

Commercial real estate includes many various forms of properties. Most folks associate commercial realty with only office buildings, parks or manufacturers/ industrialized units. Even so, that’s not entirely all of commercial real estate. There’s more to commercial real estate. Health care centers, retail structures and storage warehouse are all good examples of commercial real estate. Even residential properties like apartments (or any property that comprises of more than 4 residential dwelling units) are considered commercial real estate. As a matter of fact, such commercial real estate is much sought after.

So, is commercial real estate really profitable? Well, if it were not Lucrative I wouldn’t of have been writing about commercial real estate at all. So, commercial real estate is productive for sure. The only matter with commercial real property is that acknowledging the opportunity is a little difficult as equated to residential real estate. But commercial real property profits can be real huge (in fact, much bigger than you would anticipate by residential real estate of the same proportion). You could take up commercial real estate for either reselling after appreciation or for letting out to, say retailers.

The commercial real estate development is as a matter of fact handled as the 1st sign for emergence of residential real estate. Once you acknowledge of the possibility of significant commercial growth in the area (either due to tax breaks or whatever), you had better begin assessing the potential for appreciation in the prices of commercial real estate and then go for it promptly (equally soon as you find a good deal). And you must really work towards getting a good deal.

If you find that commercial real estate, e.g. land, is available in large chunks which are too costly for you to purchase, you could look at forming a small investor group (with your friends) and purchase it collectively (and split the profits later). In some cases e.g. when a retail boom is expected in a region, you may determine it profitable to purchase a property that you can change into a warehouse for the intent of renting to small businesses.

So commercial real estate exhibits a whole plethora of investing chances, you just need to seize it.

When looking at an investment, it is important that you consider its commercial property market value. Market value is a very slippery term, and can differ widely depending on how you compute it. Opinions of marketable value can vary greatly. The realtor may think a location has a certain value, but the appraisal might be completely different.

If nobody is willing to pay the amount you have placed on a property, then that is obviously not its true business worth. Additionally complicating things, you can expect the projected business worth to change almost constantly.

Generally, the market value can be defined as the maximum amount that a property will sell for in a “regular” transaction – with both parties fully informed and knowledgeable, and no outside issues affecting the transaction.

Frequently, though, if someone is buying real estate, they have a variety of factors affecting their decision, and a lot of different mental processes that lead them to the final decision. The best real estate agents are able to fully understand these mental processes to facilitate smooth transactions between the buyer and the seller.

But if you are not dealing directly with a buyer, you will have to do your best to estimate the commercial property market value. You can use a number of tools to do this for you.

In fact, many companies offer property analysis services that will tell you how likely an investment is to make profitable returns. They will require some basic information about the property, and you may have to find out some information about the local real estate market, but once you have that information, the process will be very easy.

You can quickly determine if a commercial property market value will lead to returns on your investment, or if the demand is too poor to merit investing.

While it is impossible to get an exact amount that will guarantee a lucrative sale, it is definitely worth it to attempt to estimate a figure.

Once you have a basic figure that you expect to earn from a commercial property, you will be able to plan the future of your investments more accurately. Whether you earn more or less than you expected, you are still likely to make a profit near your estimate.

This is very helpful, particularly if you want to decide what you will be doing with the returns on an investment – i.e. if you decide to re-invest the money into different properties.

If you want to get into the real estate business, you should carefully plan how you are going to figure out the commercial property market value of your prospective investments.

You can estimate it on your own, or you can pay for expensive appraisals on properties that you haven not even decided you want yet. Or, you can use a property analysis service, and make it easy to estimate the commercial property market value.

You can use formulas, software, guides, and any other tools that are offered. It makes the process easier, and it definitely pays for itself.

To increase the value of your commercial property, it is necessary to first establish where your property sits in the market place relative to other similar properties, and how it could be elevated in the ranking of quality, efficiency and convenience.

A ‘switched on’ commercial property owners/investors will submit his property to a regular ‘value audit’ process which the owner can conduct himself or, preferably, with the assistance of the property professionals in his team.

Here are some of the factors which could form the basis of such regular value audits or reviews:

1. Highest And Best Legal Use. There are a number of factors that can influence highest and best legal use. These include movements in population density, changes in zoning, new developments in your locality, and changes in transport infrastructure, etc.

2. Maximize Gross Building Area. The original construction may not have encompassed the full potential of the site or changes in council policy may have increased the potential of the site.

3. Maximize Net Lettable Area. Design and construction techniques are constantly improving and some firms specialize in these areas. There is an initial cost, but any additional net lettable area gained will continue to yield additional income on into the future.

4. Suite Amalgamations. In a multi-tenant property, well planned suite amalgamations can provide larger spaces for larger, quality tenants. Such moves can result in higher customer flow to the locality, with subsequent greater demand for rental space and increased rentals.

5. Highest Quality Tenants. Tenants are in constant competition with one another for customers and new, aggressive leaders emerge constantly. ‘Switched on’ property owners and/or managers identify and target such operators constantly.

6. Lowest Operating Costs. Many commercial tenants pay base rent plus operating costs and the total of these costs are governed by the market. Less operating costs can mean more rent to the landlord/building owner.

7. Maximum Use Of Signage. Tenants need to have high profile and visibility for their business operations – potential customers need to be guided to the tenant business. High customer throughput supports higher rent potential.

8. Best Access For Both Road And Pedestrian Traffic. A commercial property owner has a vital interest in planning decisions that can result in improving or hindering smooth movement of potential customers to and around commercial premises.

9. Marketing And Promotion. This is particularly relevant if your property is part of a

multi-property complex such as a homemaker centre where there may be a common interest in drawing customer traffic through the complex. This raises the profile of your premises in the eyes of potential quality tenants.

10. Quality External Appearance. As with virtually any property, a smart external appearance will enhance value.

11. Legal Use Of Public Space. Good examples of profitable use of public space can be seen in virtually any café precinct where council permission has been granted (for a negotiated fee) for tenant tables and chairs to be placed in public areas allowing for an expanded trading area for the tenant. This can be reflected in an increased level of rent.

12. Low Cost Additional Tenant Facilities. An example frequently seen is the provision of metal storage facilities at the rear of trading premises. This is a low cost item for a landlord, but can be a valuable item for a tenant if it frees up internal trading space which is reflected in increased rental.

13. Top Quality Management. The quality of management of a property is a big step towards contented tenants – and contented tenants pay better rents.

14. Lobby For Beneficial Changes. Councils can be influenced by well researched and well presented representations. Beneficial changes can include changes to local zonings, building height and density, improved traffic flow and street beautification projects.
