Episode 7: Whoops, It Can Happen to You: Negotiating Additional Space

This episode dives into a cautionary tale every optometrist should hear. When a doctor tried to absorb a subleased suite next to his office, he unknowingly triggered a renegotiation of his entire lease—adding years of commitment without securing concessions, build-out improvements, or long-term protection.
Antonis breaks down how landlords structure these situations, what most healthcare providers overlook, and why expansion always affects more than the square footage in front of you. You’ll learn how to approach additional space strategically, what tenant improvement allowances should look like in today’s market, and how to safeguard your practice’s eventual transition or sale.
