Maximize Retention, Minimize Cost
Renewing leases with existing tenants is one of the most effective ways to protect your revenue and increase long-term property value. Millennium helps you navigate renewals strategically—evaluating the full cost of turnover, negotiating favorable terms, and securing stability for your building’s future.Marketing & Leasing Costs
Vacancy comes with a price. From lost rental income to signage, advertising, and broker commissions, the costs of re-leasing add up quickly and eat into your returns.
Construction & Build-Out
Preparing a space for a new tenant often requires demolition, repairs, or complete renovations—all of which require time, labor, and capital investment.
Tenant Incentives
Attracting a new tenant may require incentives such as free rent, moving assistance, or custom build-outs—expenses that can significantly impact short-term profitability.
Signage Updates
New tenants often mean new branding. Updating signage throughout the property, both inside and out, adds another layer of cost during the turnover process.
