Property type
Medical Office Space in South Florida.
Build-out, parking ratio, ADA access and landlord consent are what decide a medical lease. Here is how each one is checked.
What to check
Before you sign for medical office space.
Medical space is the one product type where the build-out decides everything. Exam rooms need plumbing, the parking ratio has to carry patient volume, and the landlord has to permit the use in writing before any of it matters.
- Parking ratio is the first thing to check
Medical use generates far more visits per square foot than general office, and buildings are parked to a ratio set when they were built. A suite that works on paper can fail the moment your patient schedule fills. Ask for the ratio and count the spaces yourself.
- Build-out is the largest number in the deal
Plumbing to exam rooms, lead-lined walls where imaging is involved, dedicated power and specialised HVAC all cost real money. Establish who pays — tenant improvement allowance, landlord turnkey, or you — before you agree a rate, because the rate and the allowance trade against each other.
- Permitted use has to be in the lease
Zoning has to allow the use, and the lease has to name it. General office zoning does not automatically permit a clinic, and a landlord's consent given verbally is worth nothing when you are mid build-out.
- ADA and life safety are yours to satisfy
Accessible routes, restrooms, door widths and egress apply to the space you occupy. Older buildings are the ones that surprise people. Have it looked at during due diligence, not after permitting starts.
Questions
Medical Office Space, answered.
How much medical build-out should I budget?
It varies enormously with the specialty and the condition of the shell, so I will not quote you a per-foot number without seeing the space. What I will do is get contractor pricing during the due diligence period so you are negotiating with a real figure.
Can I convert general office space to medical use?
Sometimes. It depends on zoning, the building's plumbing and power, the parking ratio, and whether the landlord will consent. All four have to work, and they get checked before you sign, not after.
Lease or buy a medical suite?
It turns on how long the practice is committed to the location, what the build-out costs and who funds it, and what you would do with the space if the practice moved or grew. I will run both sets of numbers on a specific property.
