How does TenantBase work?

TenantBase reverses the traditional commercial real estate model. Instead of spending weeks searching listings and contacting landlords, tenants share their requirements — location, size, budget, and timing — and TenantBase matches them with qualified local tenant-rep brokers and relevant market options.

What does a tenant-rep broker actually do?

Tenant-rep brokers provide market expertise, advocate exclusively for tenant interests, and manage the leasing process from start to finish — space selection, negotiations, and concessions — helping reduce risk and improve outcomes at no direct cost to the tenant in most U.S. markets.

What's the difference between a gross lease and a net lease?

In a gross lease, one all-in rent payment covers most building expenses. In a net lease, tenants pay base rent plus some combination of property taxes, insurance, and CAM charges on top. Those pass-throughs can add 30–100% above the face rate, so understanding the structure before you tour is critical.

Who are the Partner Broker Highlights?

Partner Broker Highlights feature trusted tenant-rep brokers in TenantBase's network — their background, market expertise, and approach to representing tenants. It's designed to help businesses find and vet the right local advisor before starting a search.

How does TenantBase help me find the right space for my business?

TenantBase combines technology with local tenant advisors to match searches based on headcount, growth plans, budget, and timing — streamlining discovery and helping teams lease space that fits their operational and financial goals.

Nashville Tower Being Put In The Shadows

Mike

September 16, 2015

An out of state developer has run into a bit of a hold up with what what appears to be a shady issue… shadows cast over an existing swimming pool. In the coming weeks the metro government will be deciding how to influence the 38-story residential skyscraper being erected in the Gulch.

The Buckingham Tower, at a proposed 38 stories tall, would be one of Nashville’s tallest buildings. The giant tower will be sitting on 0.5 acres in a premier Gulch location at the corner of 12th Avenue South and Division St . The developer, Buckingham Cos., will meet with the city in what may be the most complicated project in the company's 31-year history.

The construction of the tower highlights the problems that arise with growth amid the booming downtown construction. Blasting, concrete construction, jack hammering and other loud noises are typical issues people encounter with most construction projects, however, shadows are an uncommon element discussed in a meeting with the committee of the Metro Development and Housing Agency.

Residents, understandably, are concerned for the balcony views and abundant poolside sunlight that attracted them to the location. With these concerns in mind, the developer believes they can overcome objections as long as the building is aesthetically pleasing from all sides. As proposed, the building will be the tallest in the Gulch, but an emphasis on the design, material, and view from the highway may be what is takes to gain approval from the city.

Here at TenantBase, our real estate professionals that growth is important for our city, especially since we are experiencing a shortage of both residential space and commercial space for lease. To accommodate for the rapid growth of Nashville, we feel that the city should show leniency to the developers working to solve the city’s housing and commercial space shortage.
