Market Context
Restaurants for Lease
Plano is one of the most affluent and corporate-dense cities in Texas, with major headquarters including Toyota North America, Liberty Mutual, and JPMorgan Chase. The Legacy West and Shops at Legacy developments have created some of the highest restaurant lease rates in the DFW suburbs. Plano combines strong daytime corporate demand with affluent residential traffic in the evenings and weekends.
Lease rates in Plano vary substantially by submarket. Prime corridors command $38 to $60 per square foot annually. Secondary submarkets typically range from $24 to $36 per square foot. Second-generation restaurant spaces — already permitted, hooded, and trapped — substantially reduce build-out cost and time to open, which is why they tend to lease quickly when priced appropriately.
Most Plano restaurant leases are NNN structures and run 5 to 10 years with one or two renewal options. Personal guarantees are standard. Tenant improvement allowances are often available on second-generation spaces, especially when the landlord is replacing a struggling tenant. Operators planning to serve alcohol should factor in TABC license transfer or new application timelines when negotiating possession dates.
