Business Income & Rental Value for Commercial Real Estate

For a landlord, repairing the building is only part of the loss. The rent stream may remain impaired during reconstruction, tenant buildout and re-leasing.

The details that can change the insurance program.

Commercial real estate insurance is highly dependent on the building, occupancy, leases, valuation, protection and income exposure. A useful review goes beyond simply quoting the same limits.

Actual rent roll

Current rents, reimbursements and other income should support the limit calculation.

Restoration period

The estimate should reflect permitting, demolition, construction, inspections and tenant reoccupancy.

Extended period

Income may not immediately return to normal when physical repairs are complete.

Lease structure

Gross, net and percentage-rent structures can affect how income is modeled.
