It’s not uncommon for tenants to plan to spend more than you’ve agreed to pay for a tenant improvement allowance (TIA). Owners have a dual goal when providing a TIA: It entices tenants to lease the space and, by being updated, the space is more valuable overall. But generally it takes some time—several weeks to several months—to complete a buildout in a commercial space. Ideally, the tenant would complete its improvements, the space would be ready to go, and you would reimburse it for your share.
