Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial Real Estate in Melbourne, FL

How much does commercial real estate cost in Melbourne, Florida?

Costs vary by property type. Office space leases for $14 to $28 per square foot per year. Retail space runs $14 to $30 per square foot NNN. Industrial and warehouse space leases for $8 to $16 per square foot NNN. Commercial land ranges from $3 to $40 per square foot depending on zoning and entitlement status.

Do I need a commercial broker in Brevard County?

You are not legally required to use a broker, but tenant representation is free to you. The landlord pays the commission whether you have representation or not. A commercial broker provides market data, off-market access, and negotiates terms that most tenants would not know to request.

What is a NNN lease in commercial real estate?

A NNN (triple net) lease requires you to pay base rent plus three additional expenses: property taxes, building insurance, and common area maintenance (CAM). This is the standard lease structure for retail and industrial properties in Brevard County. NNN charges add $3 to $10 per square foot.

What is a 1031 exchange in Florida?

A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains taxes by selling one investment property and purchasing another like-kind property. You have 45 days to identify replacement properties and 180 days to complete the purchase. Florida has no state income tax, making 1031 exchanges here particularly advantageous.

What areas does Reach Commercial serve?
