    Medical Office Tenant Representation in Southlake TX

    Medical office tenant representation in Southlake is free to the tenant - the landlord pays the commission. We represent dental practices, primary care, urgent care, and specialty providers leasing medical office space in Southlake and the surrounding submarkets. Medical buildouts are more complex than standard office - plumbing, sinks per exam room, lead-lined walls, ADA, generator capacity - and we secure TI packages that account for that complexity.

    How our Southlake tenant rep process works

    From discovery call to lease execution, here is exactly what we do for every Southlake tenant we represent.

    1. Free 30-minute discovery call

    We learn your business, headcount, target neighborhoods (Town Square, SH 114, FM 1709), parking needs, timeline, and budget. No engagement letter required to start.

    2. Market sweep - listed + off-market

    We pull every qualified Southlake listing from CoStar, LoopNet, and the SVN network, then surface off-market opportunities through direct landlord relationships. In a supply-constrained market like Southlake (≈8% office vacancy), off-market access is usually the difference between settling and winning.

    3. Curated tour and side-by-side comparison

    We tour your top 3-5 options with you, evaluate co-tenancy, visibility, parking ratios, neighboring lease expirations, and zoning fit (C-1, C-2, C-3, O-1, TZD as applicable), then build a like-for-like comparison.

    4. Letter of Intent and lease negotiation

    We draft and submit the LOI on your behalf - establishing base rent, free rent, TI allowance, escalations, renewal options, CAM caps, exclusives, kick-out clauses, and signage rights before the landlord's attorney produces a 40-page lease.

    5. Lease review and execution

    We red-line the lease against the LOI, coordinate with your attorney, and stay engaged through buildout and move-in. Our work doesn't end at signature.

    Lease terms we negotiate on your behalf

    • Base rent vs. live Southlake comps (retail $30-$60 PSF NNN, office $32-$42 PSF MG)
    • Tenant improvement (TI) allowance - typically $30-$60 PSF for new buildouts
    • Free rent / abatement - usually 1-3 months on a 5-year term
    • Annual escalation cap (3-4% is standard; we push for fixed where possible)
    • Renewal options at pre-agreed formula (protect your right to stay)
    • CAM and operating expense caps (3-5% annual cap on controllable CAM)
    • Sublease and assignment rights (flexibility if your business changes)
    • Use clause and exclusives (block competitors from the center)
    • Kick-out / co-tenancy clauses (right to exit if anchor leaves)
    • Signage, parking, after-hours HVAC, and personal-guaranty burn-off
