The Whistler Chamber has updated our Commercial Lease Report to assist you in your first – or next – lease decision. To help make your business easy, we update this tool annually. The information contained in this report is just a “snapshot” and for general information only, but we hope this will be a useful “eyes wide open” tool for both prospective tenants and landlords. Special thanks to the Whistler Real Estate Company for their support in building this document.
The report:
- Outlines the ranges of various lease rates and operating costs throughout Whistler
- Details different factors that determine lease rates for landlords and tenants
- Provides a market glance to demystify commercial real estate and inform negotiations
