Retail and Commercial Space for Lease

MarQi Co. owns and manages retail centres and commercial buildings in Wisconsin and Illinois. Space in these centres comes available as leases roll, and we handle the leasing ourselves rather than through a third party. This page lists the centres where space becomes available, what trades there now, and how to ask what is open today.

Availability changes. We do not publish a fixed vacancy list here because it goes stale. Send a service request or email [email protected] with the size you need, the market and the intended use, and our leasing team will come back with what is currently available and on what terms.

Leasing space at MarQi Co. centres - FAQs

Does MarQi Co. have retail space available for lease right now?

MarQi Co. leases space in the retail centres it owns and manages in Wisconsin and Illinois, and space comes available as leases roll. A fixed vacancy list is not published because it goes stale quickly. Send a service request or email [email protected] with the size you need, the market and the intended use, and the leasing team will come back with what is currently available and on what terms.

Which markets does MarQi Co. lease retail space in?

MarQi Co. leases retail space at Pewaukee Plaza in Pewaukee and Lake Country, National Avenue Center in West Allis and the southwestern Milwaukee metro, Bay View Retail Center on Milwaukee's south side, and Wansford Retail Plaza in Rockford, northern Illinois. The company also owns or manages single-tenant and specialist buildings in Elk Grove Village, Illinois and Alpharetta, Georgia.

Do I lease directly from MarQi Co. or through a listing broker?

MarQi Co. handles leasing for its own centres in-house, so a leasing enquiry goes directly to the owner-operator's team rather than through a third-party listing agent. Occupiers who are comparing space across several different landlords can use tenant representation instead.

Does MarQi Co. also manage the centres it leases?

Yes. MarQi Co. owns and manages these retail centres itself, so the same organisation handles leasing, property management, maintenance, accounting and risk management for the centre a tenant moves into.

What is CAM and will a retail tenant pay it?

CAM stands for common area maintenance: a tenant's share of the cost of running the shared parts of a retail centre, such as parking lot upkeep, snow removal, exterior lighting and landscaping. How CAM is calculated, what it includes and how it is reconciled are set out in the lease. MarQi Co. publishes a full explanation in its guide to CAM in commercial real estate.
