Mr. Klion has over 25 years of experience negotiating and preparing agreements for the lease, construction, and operation of retail stores and business offices throughout the U.S. Scott has represented both landlords and tenants, from independent operators to national brands, and has handled transactions ranging from the simple and straightforward to the exceptionally complex.
The scope of Mr. Klion’s expertise in commercial leasing extends to regional malls, outlet centers, mixed use facilities, street front properties, and office buildings to full-price, discount, and pop-up stores to office suites, event space, and corporate headquarters, and to lease, sublease, renewal, surrender, and amendment agreements.
