Written by an expert with 20 years of experience in commercial site evaluation, The Site Book is a practical book that takes a logical and process-oriented approach to site evaluation. Built around dozens of real-life examples of sites that work, sites that don't - and all the reasons why - this book explores the dynamic and sometimes complex relationship between site features and other factors that will ultimately determine the success of any restaurant or retail location. The Site Book features: 
 In depth discussion of the major areas affecting a site evaluation including customer sources, usage patterns, demographic reports, day parts, linkages, drop-in features, physical surroundings, image, trade area, growth strategies, competition, and cannibalism. 
 A step-by-step guide through the site evaluation process using a unique site evaluation worksheet. 
 Strategies for measuring and weighting the relative importance of each site feature and calculating a final site score. 
 Practical tips for specific concepts and varying market conditions - such as opening a first destination in a new market, adding a second store, or backfilling in a saturated market. 
 Strategies for site selection in competitive markets where the best locations are in short supply.

While many books offer sample forms and advice about drafting clauses for retail, office, and industrial leases, few examine the essential business issues underlying each clause of the lease from both sides of the negotiating table — tenant and landlord alike. 
Whether you are a business owner about to sign a lease, a real estate professional determined to draft the ideal transaction for your client, or a landlord looking to protect profits and property simultaneously, Negotiating Commercial Real Estate Leases can help you understand 
 *The obvious and not-so-obvious differences between “standard” landlord and tenant leases. *Specific negotiating strategies for retail/shopping center, office and industrial leases. *The critical economic and legal issues at stake in each clause of the lease. *Which points are most easily negotiated under what situations and which points aren’t worth the time spent arguing. *What alternative clauses and solutions can be offered to create a deal that works for both parties. 
As the basics of term, rent, premises, assignment, maintenance, insurance, default, taxes, alterations, and more are covered, author Martin Zankel uses wit and wisdom to break down confusing legalisms and offer basic negotiating strategies for each situation. 
The book also includes two appendixes that provide examples of a tenant-oriented lease and a landlord-oriented lease.
