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

Amazing Frontage + Built in Customers - Restaurant Space for Lease at KC’s Corner Motel The space is here. The customers are coming. The community is waiting. KC’s Corner Restaurant was once a beloved local gathering place—and people still stop by asking when it will reopen. This is a rare opportunity to revive a recognized destination, introduce a fresh concept, and become the go-to dining spot for local residents and roughly 300,000 seasonal visitors. The 2,368-SF restaurant space already offers the essential framework for a successful food-and-beverage operation: • 350-SF commercial kitchen • 160-SF walk-in refrigerator/freezer • Three bathrooms • 1,000-SF bar and dining area with booths and counter seating • 620-SF additional dining area for groups, events, private parties, or seasonal overflow Located directly on highly visible Route 20, the property benefits from approximately 3,504 vehicles per day, according to NY DOT data. There is no other restaurant within four miles, creating a compelling opening for an operator to capture unmet local and visitor demand. The restaurant is part of the newly renovated 18-unit KC’s Corner Motel. Following an extensive 2026 renovation, the motel has been transformed into one of the area’s most updated and inviting lodging options—centrally located near Cooperstown’s leading attractions. The upgrades are already producing record ADR performance for the property, according to ownership, while strong summer occupancy creates a steady stream of potential restaurant customers just steps from the dining room. Four additional motels and hotels are located within one mile and also experience strong peak-season demand. KC’s Corner is approximately 15–20 minutes from Cooperstown and convenient to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, The Glimmerglass Festival, Glimmerglass State Park, Otsego Lake, Fenimore Art Museum, The Farmers’ Museum, Brewery Ommegang, Diamond Dreams, and area golf courses. The Glimmerglass Festival alone sells more than 30,000 tickets each summer, attracting visitors from across New York and beyond. Imagine the possibilities: a welcoming breakfast and lunch destination, a classic hometown diner, a coffee shop and bakery, a family restaurant, or a lively gathering place for dinner, drinks, events, and celebrations. Baseball families, opera-goers, lake visitors, motel guests, and local residents are already here. Now KC’s Corner needs the right operator to give them a place worth returning to. Bring your concept. Build your following. Write the next chapter of KC’s Corner.
