Tenant Finish

The terms tenant finish, lease-hold improvement, and tenant build-out or up-fit define the scope of the construction that is performed within a retail space to enable a tenant to operate a business. Before a new tenant can occupy a space construction must be performed to insure that the space meets specific municipal, county and state codes and requirements. The scope of the project will also include customized elements for the type of business to occupy the space. For example, a dress shop would require dressing rooms, a bakery would require a kitchen, a grocery store would require cold storage and check out lanes, etc.

The landlord usually provides heating and air-conditioning units and ducting, the stub-in of the electrical, the stub-in of the plumbing and a restroom with a door. In some cases, the landlord may even provide a specific amount of funding toward the cost of the construction.
