Compare spaces on real economics
Lesson 1 of 10 · Tenant rep & deal diligence
1 · Learn the move · Comparison matrix
Landlords quote spaces in different shapes on purpose. One leads with a low base rent and fat opex, another buries the free rent. A comparison matrix forces every space into the same columns: effective rent with the method shown, total cost over the term, and UNKNOWN in every cell a term sheet doesn't fill. Two rules make it honest: free rent abates base only unless the quote says otherwise, and the matrix never crowns a winner. Your client decides.
Put these three space quotes into one matrix: effective rent per SF with your math shown, total cost over the term, UNKNOWN for anything not quoted. Don't pick one. My client decides. [paste the quotes]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
Your tenant client toured three offices. Quotes: Space A 4,200 SF at $26/SF base + $9 opex, 5 years, 2 months free; Space B 3,900 SF at $31/SF gross, 3 years, no concessions; Space C 4,500 SF at $24/SF base, opex 'TBD', 7 years, $40/SF TI. Write a prompt that normalizes all three into one matrix without inventing Space C's opex.
