Recommended Spoken Script
"We are prepared to commit to a 5-year lease term at your requested $42/sq ft rate. In exchange for this long-term credit tenancy, we require an $85/sq ft Tenant Improvement allowance and 3 months of abated rent during construction to offset our architectural buildout costs."
