Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to lease a restaurant in Arizona?
Arizona restaurant lease rates range from $15–$60 per square foot annually depending on submarket. Most leases are triple net (NNN) with the tenant covering taxes, insurance, and CAM on top of base rent.
Is there second-generation restaurant space available in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona has strong availability of second-generation restaurant space. Leasing a previously operated location with hood, grease, walk-in, and plumbing in place can save $100,000 to $500,000 versus building out raw retail and dramatically shorten time to opening.
What types of restaurant lease transactions are listed in Arizona?
Pepperlot lists direct leases, lease assignments, and subleases. Direct leases are landlord-to-tenant agreements. Lease assignments transfer an existing lease and built-out space. Subleases are flexible arrangements within an existing operation.
How long does it take to lease a restaurant space in Arizona?
A direct lease typically takes 30 to 90 days from LOI to signed lease. Lease assignments can move faster when the landlord pre-approves the assignment. Arizona DLLC and county health permitting can extend the full timeline to opening by another 60 to 90 days.
Can I list a restaurant for lease in Arizona on Pepperlot?
Yes. Listing on Pepperlot is free. Confidential options are available for landlords looking to replace a tenant discreetly.
