In the Spotlight: Renovation of Existing Buildings
As commercial landlords in cities nationwide continue to look toward renovating or converting their commercial properties to other uses, and in particular into residential condominiums, many do not fully consider the dynamics between the existing tenants and the conversion process, which can result in decreased profits for the entire conversion or renovation project. Often, the interests of the existing tenants and renovating landlords are irreconcilably adverse to each other. Any landlord that fails to consider the 'cross-purpose dynamics' between the existing tenant's interests and its own interests in renovating or converting the property places itself in a common trap. Unsuspecting landlords that may think they are undertaking a simple and profitable conversion find that the renovation process can prove costly and fraught with contentiousness and hostility. Careful consideration of a few key issues can help landlords be sensitive to and avoid problems that arise from the cross-purpose dynamics inherent in many commercial renovations.
