Commercial Real Estate 101: Proportionate Share 🏢

In a multi-tenant commercial property, operating expenses aren’t always divided equally. A tenant’s proportionate share helps determine what percentage of applicable expenses they are responsible for based on the size of their space.

For example, if a tenant occupies 10% of the applicable property, they may be responsible for 10% of the applicable NNN expenses, depending on the terms of the lease.

Understanding how this calculation works can make CAM and NNN charges a whole lot easier to understand.

Thinking about selling?

Let’s have a conversation. ✨

With winter approaching, we’re already working on roof inspections, maintenance and repairs across the properties we manage.

A small roof issue may not seem urgent when the weather is dry—but once the rain starts, a minor problem can quickly turn into water intrusion, damaged drywall, insulation, flooring and much more.

Preventative maintenance is about catching the $500 problem before it becomes the $5,000 problem.

That’s why preparing our properties before winter weather arrives is such an important part of good property management.

Inspect early. Maintain proactively. Protect the investment.

🏢 COMMERCIAL PROPERTY 101: WHAT IS A NNN LEASE?

If you’ve looked at commercial space, you’ve probably seen NNN or Triple Net listed alongside the rent. But what does that actually mean?

In a NNN lease, tenants typically pay their proportionate share of three property expenses in addition to base rent:

🏛️ Property Taxes
🛡️ Property Insurance
🔧 CAM / Operating Expenses

That’s why looking at base rent alone doesn’t always tell you the full cost of occupying a commercial space.

The exact expenses included, how they’re calculated, and the responsibilities of the landlord and tenant are determined by the individual lease.

Last time we talked about CAM and annual reconciliations—NNN leases help show where CAM fits into the bigger picture.

🔎 PROPERTY MANAGER’S EYE

What do you notice in this photo?

During a routine property inspection, we noticed an uneven section of concrete creating a potential trip hazard.

It may look small, but part of good property management is catching these issues before they become bigger problems.

✅ Hazard identified during inspection
✅ Repair requested immediately
✅ Property owner notified
✅ Follow-up to ensure completion

Regular property inspections aren’t just about how a property looks. They’re about protecting the property, addressing safety concerns, and staying ahead of maintenance.

Sometimes it’s the little things that matter most.

Topic # 1. CAM

If you lease retail space under a NNN (Triple Net) lease, you’ve probably seen the term CAM — but what exactly are you paying for?

CAM stands for Common Area Maintenance.

These are expenses associated with maintaining and operating the common areas of a commercial property and may include:

• Landscaping & exterior maintenance
• Parking lot maintenance
• Common-area utilities
• Janitorial services
• Repairs & maintenance
• Property management expenses
• Other shared operating costs, depending on the lease

So why is CAM reconciled?

Tenants typically pay their share of CAM expenses throughout the year based on an estimated annual budget.

After the year ends, the actual expenses are calculated and compared with what the tenant paid.

📊 Estimated CAM vs. Actual CAM = Annual Reconciliation

If a tenant paid more than their share of the actual expenses, they may receive a credit.

If they paid less, they may owe the difference.

In a NNN lease, tenants also commonly pay their proportionate share of property taxes and insurance, in addition to applicable common-area expenses.

NNN leases are especially common in retail commercial properties, which makes understanding these additional expenses an important part of understanding the true cost of your lease.

A commercial lease is more than the base rent. Know what you’re paying for and how those expenses are calculated.
