Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Many experts suggest an approximate range of $10 to $50 per square foot. Working with an experienced Tenant Representation Broker is often the best way to understand if a landlord's offer is competitive. However, even if you have concerns that an offered TI Allowance is too low, the rate is often negotiable.
To calculate a Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA): 1. Determine the total space in square feet that you are intending to lease. 2. Negotiate with your landlord the amount of TIA per square foot. 3. Multiply the agreed rate per square foot by the total square feet of the space to calculate your TIA.
Costs vary by scope: a minor remodel (50% or less) of an existing unoccupied space can be $15 – $25/sf. A major remodel of an existing space might be $50 – $70/sf. New construction on a warm shell space (restrooms/lobbies built) typically costs $50 – $65/sf, while new construction on a cold shell space (no restrooms or lobby) averages $60 – $75/sf.
Generally, a TI allowance can be used for “hard costs,” such as walls, flooring, ceiling work, and electrical or HVAC modifications. It may also be used for select “soft costs,” such as architectural drawings or permitting.
Key factors include the existing condition of the space (cold vs. warm shell), the overall scope of work (minor remodel vs. new construction), the quality of materials and finishes selected, the complexity of necessary building system upgrades (HVAC, electrical, plumbing), and permitting and architectural fees. All these contribute to the final per square foot cost.
