A Look at the Possible Impacts of the Impending Texas Land Boom on the Central Texas Triangle According to Texas A&M University Real Estate Center economist, James P. Gaines, the state of Texas is in for a population and commercial real estate explosion over the next 20 years, the likes of which we have never witnessed, barring any unforeseen catastrophic events like the oil bust of the 1980’s.

As people begin to immigrate in to Texas from other markets, the highly urban areas within the Central Texas Triangle will begin to congest and inventory will begin to shrink.

Development Spotlight: Boonville Town Center Bryan, Texas

Last summer, Boonville Town Center welcomed Walgreen’s Pharmacy to the corner of Austin’s Colony Parkway and Boonville Road. In early August, the landmark Best Western Atrea hotel opened its doors to the public. The 5-story, 100-room hotel comes packed with marketleading guest room amenities, a full-service bar, and nearly 4,000 square feet of conference and meeting space. The hotel’s sleek look and affordable rates have been welcomed by travelers. BTC’s most recent addition, International House of Pancakes (IHOP), opened in December of 2009. The community has embraced the new restaurant, as witnessed by the perpetually-packed parking lot. Five tracts are still available within the development. Two high-visibility retail/restaurant tracts (1.27 acres & 1.57 acres) are located along the Highway 6 frontage road. A 5.00 acre (multifamily, hotel, or office) tract is available in the heart of the development. Finally, an outstanding neighborhood corner (just across from Walgreen’s) is ready to be developed. As residents of Bryan/College Station, the Oldham Goodwin Group and the owner’s of Boonville Town Center want to thank the community for its tremendous support. We’re working hard to continue to bring new, exciting, quality development to Boonville Town Center. For more information on Boonville Town Center and remaining parcels, please go to www.oldhamgoodwin.com.

Common Real Estate Terms In Lease Transactions The current economy and market conditions have brought many challenges to commercial real estate. In previous years, tenants would review lease terms and negotiate letters of intent and leases without representation. In today’s ever changing and increasingly complex environment, Tenant’s are starting to realize the benefit of having an agent represent their interests and negotiate lease terms. This is called TENANT REPRESENTATION: Arrangement whereby a prospective tenant engages a real estate broker as its exclusive agent in negotiating a lease for commercial space. Regardless if a Tenant is being represented by a licensed real estate agent; it will always help to be familiar with the most common and basic commercial real estate terms. This is a brief overview of terms that every tenant should be familiar with before entering into lease negotiations. When a prospective tenant calls, the first thing that they ask about a property is “How much will it cost?” Depending upon the Landlord or Broker, you are likely to get a variety of responses to this question. The most common form of “cost” is calculated on a per square foot basis and quoted from an annual perspective. In addition, Leases can take on varying forms, including gross, triple net or a combination of the two. A TRIPLE NET LEASE (NNN) is: A Lease in which the Tenant pays the Landlord a Base Rent as well as their proportionate share of Common Area Maintenance, Insurance and Taxes (Operating Expenses). A GROSS LEASE is: Also known as a full service lease whereas the Tenant pays a flat Base Rent and the Landlord pays all operating expenses. In a NNN lease scenario, a Tenant will be quoted a BASE RENT: Typically specified as the minimum rental amount due quoted monthly or annually. Note: If the Lease is not a NNN, the Base Rent may be higher as the operating expenses are “built-in” to the lease rate; this is also known as a Full Service or Gross Lease. After quoting the Base Rent, in a NNN, the Landlord or Broker will quote that year’s estimated OPERATING EXPENSES: The actual costs associated with operating a property including Common Area Maintenance (maintenance, repairs, management, utilities, etc.) taxes and insurance. The estimated NNN expenses will fluctuate each year depending upon the current year’s expenses. An adjustment will occur and a record of this will be sent to the Tenant. With a Full Service Gross lease, there is no need for reconciliations and the Tenant is only required to pay the pre-negotiated Base Rent. If a prospective tenant decides to take new space within a new building, that is referred to as FIRST GENERATION SPACE: A space that is currently available for lease and has never been occupied by a tenant. First-generation space lacks walls, floor covering, ceiling tiles, HVAC, lighting; etc. and has never been built-out. SECOND GENERATION SPACE:

Refers to previously occupied space that becomes available for lease. If a Tenant elects to lease a first generation space, the Landlord will typically provide a TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE: A fixed amount of money contributed by the Landlord toward TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: Improvements made to the leased premises by or for a Tenant. The BUILD OUT: space improvements put in place per the Tenant’s specifications is typically handled one of two ways. First, a Landlord will agree to a set dollar amount to provide to the Tenant. After the Landord’s approval of the construction drawings and plans, the Tenant will be responsible for hiring contractors and overseeing the construction of the space. After the build out is completed and all documentation submitted, the Landlord will provide the tenant the agreed upon funds; however, the total amount will not exceed the maximum amount agreed upon in the Lease and any excess costs will be borne by the Tenant. Second, a Landlord may elect to complete the construction and pay for all associated build out costs. A Landlord’s contractors can sometimes complete the work for less than the Tenant could. In addition, the Tenant may not have the necessary experience to oversee a build out. For second generation space, the tenant improvement allowance will be greatly reduced from the amount given on a first generation space. There are a lot of factors, including the credit worthiness of a Tenant, length of lease, etc. that impact a Landlord’s decision for Tenant Improvement Allowances. After you have decided to pursue a lease on a selected site, you will then typically move on to a LETTER OF INTENT (LOI): A preliminary agreement outlining the proposed terms with the intention to enter into a final contract. An LOI is typically a 2-5 page document where the main items of a lease will be negotiated between the Landlord and Tenant. An LOI is probably the single most important part of lease negotiations as the majority of negotiations will occur prior to drafting a lease. A firm understanding of these basic terms can prove invaluable in negotiating a lease transaction. As you can see, the commercial lease transaction is a complicated and time consuming process that requires a dedicated team of professionals in order to ensure your best interests are in mind. Please do not be afraid to ask questions about any term or how the process works. If you or your business is considering expanding, downsizing, or moving to another location, please contact me today.

How Do I Become A Franchisee?

A common trend in today’s real estate market involves numerous entrepreneurs deciding to take a leap of faith and become a franchisee. Here are a few select questions that every franchisee will need to be familiar with to get started. What franchise is right for me? This is probably the most difficult question to answer and involves a multitude of factors. A great amount of research needs to be put in to determining the best franchise including start-up costs, product or service demand, franchise support, business model, franchisee’s previous experience, capital, advertising, royalties, name recognition, branding, etc. What will it take for me to be approved for a franchise? The initial steps include completing an application, signing a confidentiality agreement regarding the company’s standard operating procedures and propriety processes, and submitting a set of personal or company financials demonstrating your fiscal ability to purchase and support its operations. There may be multiple conferences and face to face meetings with the franchisor to answer any questions about the franchise, as well as each of your expectations should you decide to move forward in the venture. Most franchisors require an initial investment in the purchase & licensing of the franchise that will vary from $5,000.00 to $100,000.00 or more; however, most are less than $40,000.00. A franchisee will be responsible for initial and on-going costs. Initial costs are one-time expenses that are needed to set your business in motion. On-going costs are those expenses that you anticipate paying on a recurring basis. Initial costs could include fees for franchisor, entity filing fees, attorney fees, licenses and permits, security deposits, signage, build-out, initial inventory and FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment). On-going costs could be rent or mortgage, utilities, inventory, supplies, business insurance, payroll, loan payments, royalties, etc. Royalties are charged to franchisors and is typically an on-going fee calculated as a percentage of gross sales or a flat charge paid on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. How soon until I can open my doors? How long does the process typically take? This depends on several factors including how extensive your build out will be and whether or not your business will be using a second generation space or a shell space with no improvements. It will also depend on how long the permitting process will take from the city, county or Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission (TABC) license if you plan on serving liquor. In a typical scenario the process averages from 4-6 months once you decide on a franchisor until you serve your first customer. What support will I receive going forward? The main reason for an entrepreneur to use a franchise as a business model is that you do not have to recreate the wheel. Most of these companies have spent years perfecting their business model from size, shape, quantity, taste and texture, right down to the aesthetics of the product’s packaging. They may also offer pre-designed marketing campaigns. Franchisees will typically be required to attend and complete a very extensive

hands-on training, lasting last from 1-6 months, including operations, management, human resources, inventory and ordering, point of sale terminal training, planning, marketing and on-site training at an existing franchise location for a period of time. It is important that you understand the level of support you receive from the franchisor and you may interview existing franchisees to determine their level of satisfaction. If the franchisee completes the required course work, background checks and meet the minimum financial requirements, then the candidate will become a franchisee. How do I select a site for my new store? In most cases a market area is purchased by the franchisee and excludes any other potential franchisee from opening up a competing store location. The franchise agreement may require a set number of stores to be opened within a given time frame, depending upon the market. In selecting the optimal site, typically the franchise will conduct research to confirm or deny the market area as a potential site for the franchisee. The franchisee then works with the franchisor to select preferred locations based on the demographics of that market area and other factors including pricing, availability and the location of competitors before selecting the best site. Summary A great amount of money, time and resources will be invested by the franchisee and the ultimate success depends on the quality of the franchisor, reputation and historical performance. It is important to research the long term viability and success of a franchisor and interview multiple franchisors before deciding on the partnership that is best suited for your individual tastes. It is important to know what the franchisor will do for you in the partnership and remember to get everything in writing! Oldham Goodwin is in communications with multiple franchisors who are interested in the Texas market. A franchisor may have corporately owned stores, however, in most cases they prefer to have a franchisee who is a local owner with a network in specific market. If you are interested in purchasing a franchise or interested in finding a franchisor currently looking in the Texas market, please contact Robert Young, Director of Retail Leasing today at robert@oldhamgoodwin.com or 979.268.2000.
