?What factors should medical practices consider when choosing a location?

Key site selection factors include: proximity to referral sources and hospitals; patient demographics and population density; visibility and accessibility (parking ratios, ADA compliance); competitor proximity; zoning and permitted uses; co-tenancy with complementary healthcare providers; and ease of access for patients including public transit options in urban markets.

?What parking ratio do medical offices need?

Medical offices typically require higher parking ratios than general office space due to patient turnover throughout the day. A common standard is 5-6 spaces per 1,000 square feet, compared to 3-4 for general office. High-volume practices like urgent care or imaging centers may need even more. Verify the property's parking allocation before signing a lease.

?What is a Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA)?

A Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA) consists of funds provided by the landlord to help a tenant customize or upgrade a leased space. For medical practices, negotiating a robust TIA is essential to offset the high costs of clinical build-outs, such as installing sinks in exam rooms, upgrading electrical systems for medical equipment, or adding lead-lined walls for imaging. TIAs are typically expressed as dollars per square foot and may range from $30-$100+ PSF depending on market conditions and lease term.
