What types of commercial real estate does Newmark Phoenix Realty Group specialize in?
We specialize in office, industrial, and investment properties across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Our expertise includes leasing, acquisitions, dispositions, asset management, and capital markets.
What factors should I consider when choosing a commercial property?
Several factors impact your real estate decision, including:
- Location & Accessibility: Proximity to clients, workforce, and transportation hubs
- Market Trends: Demand, vacancy rates, and pricing trends in the area
- Financial Considerations: Lease terms, operating costs, and potential tax benefits
- Zoning & Regulations: Compliance with business operations and long-term expansion plans
Our team provides in-depth market analysis to help you make informed decisions.
What is the difference between tenant representation and landlord representation?
Tenant representation focuses on securing the best lease terms for businesses seeking commercial space. Landlord representation works on behalf of property owners to market, lease, and manage assets. We provide expertise in both areas to ensure optimal outcomes for our clients.
How do I negotiate a commercial lease?
Negotiating a lease involves:
- Understanding current market conditions
- Evaluating lease terms, including rent, escalation clauses, and CAM (common area maintenance) fees
- Negotiating tenant improvement allowances and incentives
- Identifying opportunities for rent reductions or renewal benefits
Our team advocates on your behalf to secure the most favorable terms.
How long does the commercial leasing process take?
The timeline depends on market conditions, property availability, and lease negotiations. On average, leasing a commercial space can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, especially if build-out modifications are required.
What should I know before investing in commercial real estate?
Successful investment starts with understanding:
- Market trends and demand in your target area
- Property valuation and income potential
- Risk assessment (vacancy rates, market fluctuations, financing options)
- Long-term growth strategies
We provide detailed investment analysis and capital markets expertise to help you build a profitable portfolio.
What is a 1031 exchange, and how can it benefit me?
A 1031 exchange allows investors to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from the sale of a property into another like-kind property. This strategy helps preserve equity and increase investment potential.
What services do you offer for property owners?
We provide full-scale property management, including:
- Lease structuring and tenant acquisition
- Operational cost reduction and financial oversight
- Preventive maintenance and capital improvements
- Market positioning for long-term asset value growth
How do you attract high-quality tenants for my property?

- Market research to identify high-demand industries
- Customized marketing strategies for each property
- Strong lease negotiation to maximize occupancy rates
