Addressing Your Needs, And Achieving A Solution

What is a dark store?

When a retail store closes its doors or discontinues operations at a specific site, it is considered a "dark store." Without proper upkeep, these locations can be extremely harmful to the reputation of neighboring retailers and the local community. Poorly maintained dark stores can also expose owners and tenants to increased liability or decreased property value.

CORE TEAM offers professional retail facilities maintenance solutions that keep your dark store well-maintained and routinely inspected to ensure minimal negative impact. Further, our full menu of services will prepare the property for lease termination in accordance with the lease terms.

Property Condition Assessments & Site Inspections

Own a commercial property that has gone idle? Don't have time to check in on it regularly? We can help with our property condition assessment services. Our retail facility maintenance specialists will visit your property, assess its conditions, and help maintain its appearance so you don't lose value upon sale or become liable for damages at lease termination.

Decommissioning commercial property and restoring it to pre-occupancy condition includes a range of sensitive activities that must be carefully coordinated by a facilities maintenance contractor, including:

  • Boarding of critical windows and glass doors to reduce vandalism.
  • Capping, disassembly, and removal of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as structural components and tenant-specific finishes.
  • Selective demolition and environmental remediation.
  • Property upkeep and routine maintenance services.
  • Coordination of asset liquidation, relocation, and repurposing through our asset liquidation affiliates.

  • Branding removal, including interior or exterior signage and display boards.
  • Repainting the building exterior to remove logos, trademarks, images, and branding schemes.

Lease Turnover Support

When a commercial lease comes to an end, the underlying question is: "What condition must the leased property be in when possession is returned to the landlord?".

In some cases, all leasehold improvements made by the tenant would remain and become the property of the landlord. The tenant may then only be required to remove personal property and return the premises in a clean, well-maintained condition. In other cases, the tenant may be obligated to return the property in the same condition in which it was originally delivered to the tenant at the commencement of the lease. For example, if the property was a 'vanilla shell,' any ("and all") build-outs, modifications, or improvements throughout the course of occupancy may require significant demolition and removal.
