Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves a lease agreement between the Metropolitan Government and Nashville Metropolitan LLC, (“the Landlord”) for use of office space located at 1281 Murfreesboro Pike. This property would be used to provide office space for the Metropolitan Action Commission.
Pursuant to the terms of the lease, Metro would lease the first, second, and fourth floors of the building, which is approximately 43,820 in rentable square feet of space. The lease is 10 years in length with two successive options to extend the lease for five years each.
The rent in the agreement would begin at $19.35 per square foot and increase by three percent annually over the course of the 10-year lease. The annual rent payments are as follows:
• Year 1: $847,917.00 per year; $19.35 per rentable square foot
• Year 2: $873,332.60 per year; $19.93 per rentable square foot
• Year 3: $899,555.15 per year; $20.53 per rentable square foot
• Year 4: $926,541.80 per year; $21.15 per rentable square foot

If an option to extend the contract is accepted, the annual rent would increase three percent or be set at current market rent as reasonably agreed upon by Metro and the Landlord. All utilities would be paid for by the Landlord.
Future amendments to this lease agreement may be approved by a resolution receiving at least 21 affirmative votes.
