How to negotiate a commercial lease to limit the effects of inflation
he burden of inflation - ary increases, like the ones currently ham - pering the economy, should be shared fairly by both ten - ants and landlords. Yet such increases in operating costs are often passed on to ten - ants through additional rent provisions in a lease. If you’re negotiating a new commercial lease or a sig - nificant lease modification, you have an opportunity to protect your interests and negotiate a cap on how high costs can rise in a given year. Here’s how to approach these negotiations. Agree on what expenses can be controlled As part of your lease, your landlord will typically require you to pay for certain operat - ing expenses. Some of these expenses the landlord will con - sider noncontrollable, including taxes, insurance, and utilities. Others are theoretically in the landlord’s control, like what maintenance or security service T
Our global network of 75 commercial real estate offices is the clear choice.
they hire, though there are nu - ances — if the selected team is unionized, for example, the landlord might argue the union rates are noncontrollable. Determine a cap for increases in controllable expenses Once you’ve reached an agreement on how to define controllable expenses, you can negotiate a cap on how high those expenses can rise each year. There are several ways to de - termine the specifics of how the cap calculation will work, some of which are more beneficial to you and some of which your landlord would prefer.
continued on page 16A Cumulative caps are less aggressive. A cap of 5% per year means your controllable expenses shouldn’t exceed 15% in the third year of your lease. You can also base caps on controllable expenses defined in your lease, or controllable expenses you paid previously. If you base caps on expenses de - fined in the lease — say, 105% of controllable expenses — your costs may be higher than what Landlords are most likely to prefer compounding caps which, as the name implies, compound quickly over time like an interest rate to the landlord’s benefit.

An innovative development approach led to the creation of 240 apts. for low-income seniors County and state leaders celebrate grand opening of Lake Anne House in Fairfax County
ESTON, VA — En- terprise Commu- nity Development and Fellowship Square celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Lake Anne House, featuring 240 modern apartment homes for low-income seniors in Reston. Key project partners joining this celebration in - cluded Virginia Housing, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority, Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, Capital One and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) . The in-person event marked the end of a multi-year effort to redevelop the 1970s-era hous - ing community and preserve affordable housing in Fairfax County, one of Virginia’s most expensive counties. “Lake Anne House is an ex - ample of the high-quality af - fordable housing we can build with ingenuity, tenacity, and partnership. It is what fixing our housing supply looks like - a demonstration of how we can work collaboratively at all levels to build and reha - bilitate housing - project by project, block by block, com - munity by community - across the country,” said United States Deputy Secretary of Housing and Urban Develop - ment Adrianne Todman , who spoke at today’s event. “The Biden-Harris Adminis - tration has prioritized hous - ing supply and affordability, and HUD partners with com - munities to build and rehab homes like Lake Anne House across the country each day.” “This new state-of-the-art building in terms of energy efficiency and accessibility sets a new standard for what affordable housing can be. Most importantly, it will enable financially fragile older adults to be able to age in place here in Northern Virginia for many years to come,” said Christy Zeitz , CEO of Fellowship Square. R
from the original building to the new Lake Anne House in phases over the summer. Demolition of the now vacant circa-1970 buildings on the east half of the site will occur by the first quarter of 2023, and the land will be sold for future townhomes to a third- party homebuilder. Lake Anne House is located at 11444 N. Shore Drive, Reston, in Fairfax County, Virginia. The architect for Lake Anne House is Grimm + Parker Architects , and the civil engineering firm is Charles P. Johnson and Associates . The owner’s rep - resentative is Orr Partners , and the general contractor is Bozzuto Construction . The building is managed by S.L. Nusbaum Realty , and Enterprise Community Development will provide resident services. To bring the vision to life, the development team secured project-based rental vouch - ers for 100% of the units and secured financing to meet its ambitious goal. The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority awarded the project 122 new project- based vouchers, and HUD transferred and assigned all remaining vouchers from the old Fellowship buildings. The project financing incorporated $46.5 million in tax-exempt bond financing from the Vir - ginia Housing and a $700,000 loan from the Virginia Housing Trust Fund. Additionally, the financing package contained $21.5 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity provided through Enterprise Housing Credit Investments by Capital One, $3 million in Blueprint Funding from the Fairfax County Redevelop - ment and Housing Authority, $7.2 million in bridge financ - ing from the Enterprise Com - munity Loan Fund and equity from Enterprise Community Development and Fellowship Square. The market proceeds from the sale of the land under - neath the old Fellowship build - ings will provide repayment of all bridge financing. MAREJ

the organization would con - struct a new building on an underutilized portion of the site. This would enable the seniors to relocate only once to their new apartments once the building was completed and enabled the developer the ability to create homes with improved accessibility, energy efficiency and numer - ous amenities. “When you look at Lake Anne House today, it’s easy to see its beauty and cut - ting-edge design. But there’s so much more,” said Brian McLaughlin “There’s a ter - rific story of working hand- in-hand with residents, of partnerships with the County and financing partners, and of staying determined and focused through an unprec - edented and difficult pan - demic. There’s so much to celebrate and be proud of in this moment.” Enterprise Community Development and Fellowship
While Reston is now one of the most expensive zip codes in the state, residents at the Lake Anne House – many of whom live on Social Security or Supplemental Security In - come alone, with an average income between just $10,000- $15,000/year – are able to live independently in the dynamic Reston community. In 2015, nonprofit senior housing operator Fellow - ship Square issued an RFP to redevelop the Lake Anne Fellowship House, an aging senior housing community built in the 1970s. Communi - ty Preservation and Develop - ment Corporation (Enterprise Community Development’s predecessor) responded with a novel solution to best meet the needs of Fellowship Square and its community of senior residents (age 62+) . Instead of updating the cur - rent building and causing its residents to inconveniently relocate during renovation,
Square took on this innova - tive development approach and constructed the new building adjacent to the origi - nal Lake Anne Fellowship House. The new Lake Anne House includes 56 studios, 178 one-bedroom and six two-bedroom apartments. Enhancements include nu - merous amenities for its older adult residents, including a fitness center, arts and crafts room, social hall, sunroom, game room, outdoor terrace, wellness clinic for visiting medical professionals, and on-site management and resi - dent services offices. All units incorporate Universal Design standards, which were not in place when the original building was constructed in the 1970s. Fifty-four of the 240 units are fully handicap accessible, and the building is Earthcraft and EnergyStar certified. Residents were provided relocation support and moved

few players willing to make construction loans and we took full advantage of these opportu - nities to expand our reach into this market. We continue to focus on accommodating our top clients as well as working with other active developers in the market, primarily with $12- to $20-million construction loans. We’re now emphasizing two product lines. Our commer - cial mortgages feature three-, five-, and seven-year terms, and range from $2 million to $60 million. A few recent ex - amples are a $42.65 million loan for Valley Stream Village
Townhomes in Newark, DE, as well as a $63 million loan for 100 Water Street Develop - ment in Jersey City, NJ. In the warehouse/industrial sector, we just completed a slightly more than $26 million deal for a distribution center located in Morrisville, PA. Our other line, construction- to-permanent loans, is basically 18- to 24-month construction loans that convert upon comple - tion to three-, five-, or seven- year commercial mortgages. Recent examples include a $14 million loan for a multifam - ily project in Garfield, NJ, as well as an $11 million loan for a mixed-use project in East Rutherford, NJ. In the case of both product lines – commercial mortgages and construction-to-permanent loans – our emphasis is on multifamily, mixed-use, retail, and warehouse/industrial prop - erties. For the time being, the bulk of our construction loans are written for projects in New Jer - sey, New York, and Pennsylva - nia … but we’re eager to expand that footprint. And why not? We’re already offering perma - nent loans in these states, plus Maryland, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. So, there’s plenty of room for us to grow.

bviously, there’s a sig - nificant amount of talk within the com -
steady improvement as the new year progresses. Why will 2023 be better? Because, quite simply, there will be increased opportuni - ty. We’re already seeing less well-capitalized players being steadily pushed out of the market in favor of larger firms with more robust development pipelines of deals. This creates more opportunity for institu - tions like Kearny Bank. Once we reach 2023, many more of these weaker entities won’t be able to compete in terms of ob - taining new projects, which will further pressure their ability to
expand. Putting it another way, the story of 2023 will be well- capitalized players succeeding at an increasingly consistent rate, with emphasis on lower risk construction deals. I suspect some people re - main unaware that Kearny Bank also does a robust busi - ness in commercial real estate construction loans. We got our start, in earnest, at about the beginning of the pandemic – when many companies were either taking a pause in con - struction lending or exiting the market altogether.

This resulted in fortifying what had already been a strong rent roll. There was strong interest in Newark Shopping Center and Atlantic worked closely with a top buyer who closed as promised, albeit
during a late-breaking interest rate surge.” Newark Shopping Center lies in the city’s urban core near the University of Maryland, one of the country’s oldest higher learning institutions, with an enrollment of 24,000 students. Access to new One Easton, a separate six-story housing complex, is reached directly through the property.
