Commercial Leasing and Retail Space Marketing in Milwaukee and Chicago
MarQi Co. leases retail, office and industrial space in the Milwaukee and Waukesha County markets of Wisconsin and in the Elk Grove Village, Rockford and greater Chicago markets of Illinois. Our own centers - Pewaukee Plaza, National Avenue Center in West Allis, Bay View Retail Center in Milwaukee and Wansford Retail Plaza in Rockford - are leased by this team.
Marketing a commercial space is not a sign in the window. We price against real comparable rents in the submarket, prepare the space and the offering material, run the listing across the channels tenants actually use, and qualify prospects before they take up your time. Landlords receive a written record of activity, not a monthly promise.
Leasing and Marketing FAQs
How do you market a vacant space?
We position the property to its most likely tenant profile, prepare the marketing material, list and promote the space, qualify enquiries, and negotiate lease terms on your behalf.
What kind of tenants do you attract?
Our centres host a mix of national and local operators: restaurants, service retail, shipping and logistics counters, salons, medical and specialty retail. Tenant mix is matched to the catchment of each centre.
Do you handle lease negotiation and paperwork?
Yes. Leasing and lease administration are both covered, from initial terms through to signed documentation and ongoing administration.
What is a triple net (NNN) lease?
In a triple net lease the tenant pays base rent plus its share of the three nets: property taxes, building insurance and common area maintenance. The landlord receives a more predictable net income and the tenant carries the variable operating cost. Most of the retail space MarQi Co. leases in Wisconsin and Illinois is structured this way.
How do I lease retail space in a shopping center?
Start with the trade area and the co-tenancy: who already occupies the center and whether their customers are your customers. Then review the asking rent against the total occupancy cost - base rent plus CAM, taxes and insurance - because the headline rent is rarely the real number. Ask what condition the space is delivered in and what tenant improvement allowance is available. MarQi Co. leases space directly in its own centers in Pewaukee, West Allis, Milwaukee and Rockford.
What is a tenant improvement allowance?
A tenant improvement (TI) allowance is money the landlord contributes toward building out the space for a tenant, usually quoted per square foot and paid on completion or amortized into rent. The size of the allowance normally tracks the lease term and the tenant's credit.
What is the difference between a gross lease and a triple net (NNN) lease?
In a gross lease the landlord covers the operating costs - property taxes, building insurance, and common area maintenance - out of the rent, so the tenant pays a single all-in figure. In a triple net (NNN) lease the tenant pays base rent plus its share of those three costs on top, so rent is lower but the tenant carries the variable operating expenses. Most retail and shopping-center leases are structured as NNN.
