Regarding tenant improvements, David Merrell, COO of North Forest Office Space, articulates “The more time and money you invest in your landlord, the more time and money a landlord will invest in you. That is, in order to secure the proverbial “riskless” long-term lease, the landlord is more willing to assist the tenant with improvements to the space.
