Jon Brooks: Commercial Real Estate Agent, Brooklyn

As a Real Estate Agent I would like nothing more then for a deal to move along quickly without friction.  With that being said, I would never advise a tenant to simply sign a lease contract without hiring an attorney. REPEAT HIRE AN ATTORNEY before signing a commercial lease.  Most likely you will be leasing the space for quite a number of years and signing unfavorable terms can cost you dearly, much greater then the cost of hiring an attorney. Landlord’s can sometimes tell a tenant “This is our “standard lease” everyone signs it. Remember the lawyer who drew up this standard lease, drew it up with the owner’s interest in mind.  

I will in later posts explore in greater detail, the best way to find a competent attorney, exploring the elements of a lease contract, and how to ensure your attorney doesn’t hurt your deal.

The Problem: The lack of spaces in Brooklyn that can service musicians in the city due to high rents, noise complaints, and landlords who don’t want to give long leases.

The Solution: I’m working with Industry City to create a music district in the amazing commercial loft spaces in Industry City in Sunset Park. Owners are looking for new music businesses. Owner is willing to do a complete or partial “Build to Suit”, offer long leases, free concession time.  and a chance to part of the center of Brooklyn’s music industry. 

Spaces Available: 5,000SF, 8,000SF, 13,000SF
