What is a reverse build to suit?

Marc Perlof • March 20, 2023

A reverse build to suit is where the tenant builds the building to suit their needs/business and the commercial property landowner reimburses the tenant for the costs. The benefit is the commercial property landowner now owns the building, gets depreciation, has a tenant in place, and didn’t have to personally go through any of the permitting and entitlement process with the local government agency.
