Real estate · Commercial real estate deck
Commercial real estate decks built around tenants and leases.
In commercial property the income comes from tenants and the risk sits in their leases. A good deck makes the rent roll readable and the lease expiries visible.
Fixed prices. No calls: you brief us in writing and comment in writing.
Lease expiries
Income expiring by year
Illustration only. Any figures are invented for this sample slide.

How it differs
How a commercial real estate deck differs from a general pitch deck
In a startup deck, revenue comes from customers yet to be won. In a commercial property deck, revenue is already written into leases, so the deck is read like a schedule of contracts: who pays, for how long, on what terms and with what rights to leave. Tenant credit, lease type and expiry timing replace the market-size story. Investors and lenders often read the deck with the rent roll open beside it, so every figure must tie line for line.

The questions behind every slide
What readers of a commercial real estate deck ask
Each answer names the slide or document where it belongs. If a question has no home in your deck, the reader will ask it in writing, or stop reading.
- 1
What is the weighted average lease term?
State it on the tenant overview slide, weighted by rent, with the method in a footnote.
- 2
Are the leases net or gross, and who pays which costs?
Mark the lease type for each major tenant in the rent roll highlights.
- 3
What is budgeted for tenant improvements and leasing commissions at renewal?
The capital plan slide should show these reserves by year beside the lease expiries.
- 4
Have the tenants signed estoppel certificates?
Add a due diligence status line to the tenant overview slide.
- 5
What happens if the largest tenant leaves?
Show a downside case on the financing and returns slide, with the cost and time to re-lease.
- 6
How do in-place rents compare with market rents?
Show the mark-to-market by tenant in the rent roll highlights, with market leasing comparables in the appendix.
- 7
Do any tenants hold termination, renewal or purchase options?
Note them on the lease expiries chart so the reader sees which dates are uncertain.
- 8
How strong are the tenants financially?
Summarize the credit information you may share on the tenant overview slide.
Headline rewrites
Slide titles that say something.
A reader skims headlines first. A label tells them the topic; a sentence tells them the point. Bracketed figures are placeholders for your own numbers.
