How to scout retail lease opportunities in condo developments?
My wife and I own a dog daycare business in a big city. We have four locations and a good reputation. Recently, we were approached by a major condo developer. They are building a residential condo tower with retail spaces at street level -- and want one of those spaces to be a dog daycare as an amenity for their residents.

This has gotten us wondering -- what's the best way to go about scouting other opportunities like this? i.e. getting a commercial lease in a condo development while it's being built.

Is it working with a real estate agent?

Cold calling the big developers and asking about new developments? If so -- what's the job title of the person we should talk to at the developers? (The person who reached out to us has the title "Senior Director" -- not very helpful for finding others like her at other companies.)

Hiring someone to be a location scout? If so, is there an industry standard job title for the kind of person to does this kind of commercial location scouting?

Any advice very welcome!

Tenant Representatives do not charge for their services, rather their fee is paid via a commission, which is only earned once you consummate a lease. This commission is built into any rental rate wherever you go and is split with the Landlord's representative.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dgaghij", "text": "Hire a tenant broker.
