Work Letters and Tenant Improvements

BOMA Chicago "Brown Bag Lunch" Series
May 2, 2007

The interior space shown to a prospective office tenant almost always requires substantial modification to be put to good use. The work letter is the central document in which the parties detail the progression from the way the space appears upon first inspection to the way it will appear when delivered for occupancy. The parties divide responsibility for such issues as (1) who is responsible for designing the improvements and conforming them to code; (2) who pays for the improvements, and (3) who is responsible for hiring contractors, performing the work and completing on a timely basis?

This seminar will address the divergent interests and strategies of the owner and tenant in negotiating the answers to these questions, as well as describing the processes and other related documents by which tenant improvements are typically designed and built out and the finished space delivered to the tenant.

This seminar, part of Schwartz Cooper's "Brown Bag Lunch" series for BOMA Chicago members, will take place on May 2, 2007 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at One North Franklin (Third Floor).
