Go for short leases like the Mills does with seasonal. Holiday for the holidays.

disclose the rent prices, then figure out what shops can survive.
Be honest with your lessees. Do not allow a business in that cannot meet the rent. Sure, that is their responsibility, but, if they fail, because of overhead, it reflects on the management of the center. Every failed business reflects on the next guy up the ladder as well as their own plan

Agree with the rent prices.

Lower them, better to have some money coming in than No money coming in.

Or make the rent be more related to the store income? Low base rate but get 20% of sales?

Somehow, I would expect to be pitched a "marketing district" to enable a sales tax increase to "entice" (read subsidize) tenants to the complex.

I hope they will really lower the rents we looked yet again at the first of 2012 in Conifer and still found that the rent was just too high for our type of store.

If they are serious about it you never know maybe Mountain Dollar II :wink: .

A dollar store is one that he specifically mentioned when asked what were the most attractive/most patronized types of stores to bring in! Sorry guys, I haven't had time to sit down and index the video like I usually do. There were lots of good questions, most of the topics mentioned in previous posts were covered, and I have some thoughts to add as well. They do work with tenets on rent, and are willing to do it on a percentage of sales type thing - call Justin and see what kind of deal you can agree to. While it was disappointing that some of the questions he was asked he couldn't provide a hard number answer (vagueness is suspicious), he promised to follow-up with emails, and he seemed very open and reasonable and said the owners want to work with the community. He's only 4 months on the job, so I'd say give him a chance and we'll see if his actions match his promises.

I'll post more later, I really need to spend some down time watching football - got sick Friday and was out at the Christmas in Conifer events all day yesterday...I'm exhausted. But happy. :)

IMO commercial property taxes verses residential property taxes are not in balance to create more people willing to risk what it takes to open and operate a business that requires commercial space. Just imagine how many new businesses and new jobs for local residents would open if an owner of a business didn't have the tax cost of being in business as one of their main operating expenses.
It looks to be back wards to me and seems to be accepted that we instead penalize all businesses for trying to provide services and jobs for residents. I have been self employed for 30 years and would like to open a business but the last thing I wont to do is to start a job of working to make tax payments that never get paid off and are always increased.
