Rent Types


The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.

1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.

2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.

3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.

4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses. The landlord will pay the remaining expenses. See the below list of common Modified Gross rental rate structures: 4. Plus All Utilities: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of utilities in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of cleaning in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric & Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Utilities and Char: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the utilities and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Industrial Gross: A type of Modified Gross lease where the tenant pays one or more of the expenses in addition to the rent. The landlord and tenant determine these prior to signing the lease agreement.

5. Tenant Electric: The landlord pays for all services and the tenant is responsible for their usage of lights and electrical outlets in the space they occupy.

6. Negotiable or Upon Request: Used when the leasing contact does not provide the rent or service type.

7. TBD: To be determined; used for buildings for which no rent or service type is known, commonly utilized when the buildings are not yet built.

About the Property

Located at a prominent corner on the bustling Pennsylvania Avenue SE corridor, this second-floor commercial space offers exceptional visibility, dual-street frontage, and abundant natural light from oversized windows lining both façades. The building’s corner positioning at Pennsylvania Ave and 15th Street SE gives it built-in exposure to steady vehicle and pedestrian traffic throughout the day—ideal for businesses seeking a high-profile location in the growing Capitol Hill East market. The unit features a thoughtful, move-in ready layout. The space is being offered for $3000 per month with taxes and insurance included. The tenant would split the utilities with another tenant. Choice would be given to occupy the front or back private offices, each having their own bathroom. Whether you're establishing a boutique firm, wellness practice, or creative studio, the floor plan supports a variety of business operations without the need for major reconfiguration. Zoned MU-4, the space allows for flexible use, including professional office, retail, residential, or mixed-use, subject to permitting. This makes it equally appealing to owner-occupants, investors, or tenants seeking long-term growth in a neighborhood with accelerating development momentum. The surrounding area is home to The Roost Food Hall, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Safeway, and beloved local dining spots such as Call Your Mother Deli, Rose’s Luxury, and Trusty’s. Potomac Ave Metro (Orange/Blue/Silver lines) is less than a 3-minute walk away, further enhancing accessibility for clients, employees, and customers. This second-floor suite presents a unique opportunity to lease highly visible commercial space on a major arterial in the District, combining strong fundamentals (zoning, layout, visibility) with an unbeatable Capitol Hill East location.
