Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 19, 2026.
- Worth checking: Rentable space must yield ABOA space in range. You must submit plans proving the rentable space gives ABOA space within the required range, and the notice caps the building at 2,987 rentable square feet.
- Worth checking: 20 reserved surface parking spaces. The site needs 20 spaces set aside only for the Government, secured and lit to the lease's security rules.
- Worth checking: Security upgrades priced into the offer. Facility Security Level II countermeasures, including a video surveillance system the lessor designs and installs, are priced as building specific amortized capital, so they add to your costs.
Show all 4Show fewer
- Worth checking: Lease term only partly shown. The lease template shows a 20-year term with 5 years firm, and the RLP's own term paragraph was not read, so the firm period is unconfirmed.
