Clarity Before the Lease Gets Complicated
A Letter of Intent is often the first real step toward a signed lease. It outlines the key business terms between a landlord and a prospective tenant before attorneys draft the formal lease documents. While it is not a lease itself, the LOI sets expectations and helps prevent misunderstandings later in the process.
We help landlords prepare and review Letters of Intent from a space planning and build-out perspective. Our role is to make sure the physical space, improvement assumptions, and project timelines align with what is being proposed, before commitments are made.

Many problems in tenant build-outs begin at the LOI stage. When space conditions, layout assumptions, or improvement scopes are not clearly thought through early, they often lead to delays, change orders, and disputes once construction begins.
By addressing these issues upfront, landlords can move into lease negotiations with a clearer understanding of what the tenant is asking for and what the building can realistically support. One mistake we commonly see is treating the LOI as a pure business document and leaving the physical questions for later, when the leverage to fix them cheaply is gone.
Reducing Risk Before Lease Documents Are Drafted
An LOI that reflects real-world building conditions leads to smoother lease negotiations and fewer surprises later. When architectural considerations are addressed early, it becomes easier for all parties to align on cost, schedule, and scope before legal documents are finalized.
Our goal is to help landlords protect their investment and avoid unnecessary friction during tenant improvements.
A Practical, Business-Focused Approach
We do not provide legal advice or negotiate lease terms. Instead, we focus on the building itself: how it will be used, and how proposed improvements may impact the property. This architectural perspective adds clarity at a stage where assumptions are often still vague.
By supporting the LOI process, we help landlords move forward with greater confidence and fewer unknowns.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should a landlord bring you into the LOI process?
Ideally before the LOI is signed. Reviewing space assumptions, improvement concepts, and timelines at this stage is far cheaper than resolving the same issues after lease documents are drafted or construction has started.
Do you negotiate lease terms or provide legal advice?
No. We focus strictly on the building itself: how the space will be used, what the proposed improvements involve, and whether the assumptions match existing conditions. Your attorney and broker handle the legal and business terms.
What do you need from us to review a proposed LOI?
A draft of the LOI, the suite or floor area in question, and any existing drawings you have. If current drawings do not exist, we can produce asbuilts of the space so the review is based on real conditions.
