Boston · Commercial real estate
A storefront has to work for the business behind it. Amo Realty - Boston City Properties can help you look for retail space to lease or buy, or discuss marketing a property you own. Start with your proposed use, location and budget.

Include whether you want to lease, buy, sell or find a tenant; your business use; preferred locations or a specific address; approximate size; budget; and opening or move-in timeline. Add essentials such as frontage, loading, storage, power, ventilation or a kitchen.
Your message goes to Amo Realty - Boston City Properties. Sending an inquiry does not submit a rental application or reserve a property.
Back Bay, Downtown, the South End and the Seaport are starting areas to discuss, not interchangeable retail settings. Visit at the hours your business would operate. Look at visibility, the entrance, customer access, deliveries and neighboring uses. Verify any foot-traffic figures and the period they describe.
Request a written breakdown of base rent and any taxes, insurance, common-area costs, utilities or other additional charges. Labels such as gross, net and modified gross do not replace the actual lease language. Include your proposed fit-out, equipment and opening timeline when comparing options.
Measure the usable sales area, frontage, ceiling height and storage. Check deliveries, waste handling, restrooms, access and building systems against your intended operation. Food service, ventilation or specialized equipment may require additional review; an attractive interior alone does not establish suitability.
For a lease, discuss term, renewal options, permitted use, signage, improvement responsibilities and any proposed restrictions with your advisers. For a purchase, investigate property condition, financing, occupancy and ongoing costs. If buying a leased property, review the existing leases and tenant obligations rather than assuming the space will be vacant.
Send the address, approximate size, current use, occupancy and your timing. Include known building requirements or limitations so our commercial team can begin with the actual property. Do not send confidential tenant or financial records in an initial web inquiry.
