FOR SHOPPING CENTERS WITH AN ANCHOR
Shopping center property management software that keeps anchor and inline tenants straight
Run rent, CAM, and reporting for a shopping center that mixes one or two larger anchor tenants with a row of smaller inline shops—each on different lease terms, different CAM pools, and sometimes different reporting requirements.
Your property needs 3 decisions
Mixed lease terms in one rent roll
An anchor's negotiated caps, exclusions, or fixed CAM contribution sit beside inline tenants' standard pro-rata shares in the same rent roll.
Multiple CAM pools
Allocate common-area, structural, and marketing-fund expenses to the pools each lease actually specifies, not one blended rate for every tenant.
Percentage rent, tracked alongside base rent
Where a lease includes a percentage-rent clause, the reporting needed to support it stays with the rest of that tenant's record.
Co-tenancy awareness
Keep the anchor's occupancy status visible where inline leases reference it, instead of tracking that dependency separately from the rent roll.
One property, several different lease structures
A shopping center anchored by a larger tenant usually has that tenant on materially different terms than the inline shops around it—a negotiated CAM cap or exclusion list, sometimes a fixed CAM contribution instead of pro-rata, and occasionally a co-tenancy clause tied to the anchor's own occupancy.
Treating every tenant with the same CAM formula either overcharges the inline shops or undercharges the anchor. TenantPoint keeps each lease's actual negotiated terms attached to that tenant's record.
CAM pools that match how the center is actually built
A shopping center often has more than one expense pool—common-area maintenance, structural or roof reserves, and sometimes a marketing or merchants'-association fund—each allocated to a different subset of tenants.
- Common-area maintenance (parking, lighting, landscaping)
- Structural and roof reserve, where applicable
- Marketing fund or merchants' association fees
- Anchor-specific caps or fixed contributions
What still needs a person
Negotiating a co-tenancy clause, filling a vacant anchor space, or resolving a percentage-rent audit still needs an owner, broker, or attorney. TenantPoint keeps the resulting numbers organized and traceable back to the lease—it doesn't negotiate the lease.
