Commercial real estate is often leased as an empty shell - while it is true that you could probably find a storefront already outfitted as ice cream store, or at least for foodservice, the tenant is probably still going to need to bring all kinds of fixtures, branding, etc. I'm not sure how the line is drawn between whether you need an architect for that or some other kind of designer, but point is that leasing a space which is habitable but not ready for commercial use is common in the US. Commercial tenants often get really broad license to customize their entire space within the confines of the walls.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoMost previously-used commercial spaces have to be demoed inside. Sometimes, a fixed amount of architect budget is given as a concession by the landlord for prime properties. Also, if you don't go about architecture exactly how they want it, some cities will often make you use one of their preferred architect buddies and start back at zero in terms of permitting and inspections. (Mountain View, CA I'm looking at you with emoji eyes.) It's not lying, it's commercial real estate. https://official-rossmann-merch.creator-spring.com/listing/real-estate-in-nyc https://official-rossmann-merch.creator-spring.com/listing/r...
