I wonder what they are charging per sq ft on average. I have a friend who is a veterinarian in Cary NC. Until recently, he rented 1564 sq ft in a strip mall. I was surprised when he told me he was paying 4400 a month for the space. That includes TICAM which is his share of taxes, insurance and maintenance split with all the other leasees in the shopping center. Also, all upkeep specific for his space, he paid, such as an air conditioner needing replacement. He also had automatic increases on his lease every year based on some index. The owner of this shopping center essentially pays for nothing after he bought the it. I thought that was expensive but I now think it is the norm in this area. Since TV has a much more captive audience, I would guess their rents are at least as high.
