Lease rate, lease structure, and operational specs front and center — formatted for LoopNet and CoStar
Commercial lease listings require copy that leads with the tenant's business use decision — lease rate per square foot, lease structure (NNN, gross, or modified gross), usable square footage, zoning, parking ratio, and key operational specifications. The Fair Housing Act does not govern commercial real estate — commercial leasing is subject to federal civil rights laws including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) for financing and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for accessible facilities. BuildMyListing generates commercial lease listing descriptions formatted for LoopNet, CoStar, and commercial MLS systems, structured for the metrics commercial tenants and their brokers evaluate first.
Pricing: Starting $99/month
Time Required: 15 minutes per commercial lease listing
Commercial lease listings need to answer a different set of questions than residential or for-sale commercial listings. Prospective tenants are making business location decisions: What is the base rent per square foot? What additional expenses do I pay as the tenant (NNN)? Is the space zoned for my use? What is the parking ratio? Will my equipment fit given the clear height? Residential-framed copy or for-sale commercial copy fails commercial tenants by not answering these questions prominently.
BuildMyListing generates commercial lease listing descriptions with the correct metrics front-loaded for each space type — office, retail, or industrial — in LoopNet and CoStar-ready format.
Commercial lease descriptions lead with: lease rate per square foot (monthly and annual), lease structure (NNN, gross, modified gross, full-service gross), lease term availability, usable square footage, zoning classification, and space type. For NNN leases, the estimated NNN expense is clearly distinguished from the base rent — a common source of tenant confusion.
Benefit: Lease terms and cost structure answered in the first paragraph
Each commercial space type requires different copy priorities. Office: parking ratio (per 1,000 SF), common area factor, floor plate, fiber/tech infrastructure, HVAC type (VAV, perimeter units). Retail: daily traffic count, storefront frontage, signage rights, co-tenancy, parking count. Industrial: clear height (feet), dock-high doors, drive-in doors, power (amps, 3-phase or single-phase), truck court, yard area. BuildMyListing adapts the description to the space type.
Benefit: Space-type-specific metrics that match what tenants and their brokers look for
Commercial lease listings should note known ADA compliance status (ramps, restrooms, accessible parking) and any known environmental conditions (Phase I ESA results, underground storage tanks, prior hazardous use). Tenants bear responsibility for ADA compliance within their leased space under Title III for public accommodations. BuildMyListing's template prompts for known ADA and environmental status.
Benefit: ADA and environmental disclosure framing for commercial lease listings

| Commercial Lease Element | Compliance Consideration | BuildMyListing Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Fair Housing Act | The Fair Housing Act does not govern commercial real estate leasing. | BuildMyListing's residential Fair Housing scan is not applied to commercial lease listings. Commercial agents should still avoid discriminatory representations under other federal and state civil rights laws. |
| ADA compliance | Title III of the ADA requires commercial facilities and places of public accommodation to meet accessibility standards. Landlords and tenants have different ADA responsibilities under a commercial lease. | BuildMyListing prompts for known ADA compliance status. Agents should disclose known ADA non-compliance — it is a material fact for commercial tenants. |
| NNN expense representation | Misrepresenting what expenses are included in NNN can be a material misrepresentation. NNN expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance) commonly add $2-8/SF annually. | BuildMyListing prompts agents to specify the lease structure and NNN expense estimate. Copy is generated from agent-provided inputs — agents are responsible for accuracy. |
| Zoning representation | Misrepresenting zoning classification for a tenant whose business use requires specific zoning is a material misrepresentation. | Zoning is agent-entered. Agents are responsible for verifying current zoning with the local municipality before including in the listing. |
