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 in the heart of the Rochester Public Market, one of the oldest and most beloved public markets in the Northeast, this 1,600 square foot commercial space offers a rare opportunity to plant your roots where the community already gathers. The space sits directly on the market's main commercial row, housed in a handsome historic brick building with large storefront windows and a classic awning that draws foot traffic naturally. The front facade opens directly onto the market plaza — with picnic tables, vendors, and a built-in customer base that shows up rain or shine. Neighboring tenants include Java's, The Yards Collective, and Best Coffee, making this a destination block with genuine energy and community identity. Inside, the main floor features original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light from oversized street-facing windows and glass double-entry doors. The open floor plan is highly adaptable — equally suited to a full-service café, bakery, wine bar, or specialty retail concept. A back room provides additional prep or storage space, with its own rear access and window. The highlight for food & beverage operators: the space is already ducted for an oven, significantly reducing build-out costs and timeline for any hospitality concept. Whether you're envisioning a neighborhood café, a grab-and-go bakery, a wine and cheese shop, or a curated retail boutique, the infrastructure is already working in your favor.
