For occupiers
Space that fits the operation, in a municipality that will let you open

How does C3 CRE work with occupiers?
C3 CRE represents occupiers — retailers, restaurants, industrial users, franchisees and multi-unit operators — with site selection, lease negotiation, entitlement verification and build-out coordination in Michigan and Tampa Bay.
Occupier deals fail on the details nobody checks early: whether the use is permitted by right, whether the power service supports the equipment, whether the landlord's work letter covers what you assumed, and how long the municipality's approval calendar really runs.
We verify all of it before you sign a letter of intent, then negotiate the lease on the terms that matter over ten years — escalations, options, exclusives, co-tenancy, assignment rights and who carries HVAC and roof.
For multi-unit operators, we sequence the rollout so each location strengthens the next.
Permitted use verified early
Zoning, special land use, parking, signage and approval timelines confirmed before an LOI.
Leases negotiated for year ten
Escalations, options, exclusives, assignment rights and maintenance obligations, not just base rent.
Build-out reality check
Power, venting, floor loads and work-letter scope reviewed against your actual operation.
Rollout sequencing
Multi-site programs staged so locations support rather than cannibalize each other.
Practices
The services that apply
Site selection
Data-led site selection for operators and franchisees — drive-time and demographic screening, zoning and use verification, and multi-site rollout sequencing.
Buyer & seller representation
Full-cycle representation on the buy and sell side of commercial property — pricing, exposure strategy, negotiation and closing management.
Sale-leaseback
Convert owner-occupied real estate into working capital while keeping operational control — lease structuring that survives investor underwriting.
