A tenant representation broker works for the retailer or restaurant, not the landlord. At Phoenix Commercial Advisors that covers site selection (trade area, demographics, traffic, co-tenancy and competition mapped by the in-house GIS team), multi-unit rollouts, negotiation of letters of intent, lease economics, exclusives and delivery terms, and renewals, relocations and the disposition of excess space. Candidate sites are walked corner by corner, and renewals include a portfolio review and a renewal strategy. ### Who does the tenant representation team work for? Retailers and restaurants opening, relocating or renewing in Arizona; national and regional chains planning a multi-unit rollout across the Phoenix metro and the state; and concepts entering Arizona for the first time that need a local read on trade areas and landlords. Phoenix Commercial Advisors is a retail-only brokerage, and tenant representation is one of its three practices. ### How many retailers and restaurants does Phoenix Commercial Advisors represent? The firm has represented or currently represents more than 110 local, regional and national retailers and restaurants in Arizona, from national rollouts to regional concepts opening their first Arizona location. ### Can Phoenix Commercial Advisors help with a multi-location rollout? Yes. The team plans multi-unit programs across the Phoenix metro and the state and sequences them to the retailer's real estate committee calendar. ### What does a retailer need to bring to a first conversation? The more of these you have, the faster the team can narrow sites: the concept and format, target size in square feet, preferred submarkets or trade areas, opening timeline, and any co-tenancy, drive-thru, parking or visibility requirements. Nothing is required to start; a short description on the contact form is enough. ### What data does the team use to choose sites? Trade-area analysis, demographics, traffic, co-tenancy and competition mapped by the in-house GIS team, plus PCA's own record of Arizona leases and sales, mapped by cross-street from 1996 to 2026. The record is at /track-record/. ### Who handles a tenant assignment at Phoenix Commercial Advisors? Tenant representation is handled by PCA's retail leasing team. The brokers work as one team, so a tenant gets the whole firm's market knowledge, landlord relationships and site pipeline, with mapping and research from the in-house GIS and research staff. Every broker is listed at /team/. ### Can Phoenix Commercial Advisors represent a retailer outside Arizona? Phoenix Commercial Advisors is a member of ChainLinks Retail Advisors, a network of real estate professionals focused on retail, with more than 50 offices across the United States. A retailer expanding beyond Arizona gets a local specialist in each market, coordinated by the team it already works with. ### Which areas does tenant representation cover? The Phoenix metro area and the rest of Arizona, including Tucson and the northern and western markets such as Prescott, Flagstaff and Yuma. ### How do I start? Use the contact form and choose "Retailer or restaurant looking for sites", or call the office at 602-957-9800. A named broker replies, not a queue. A retailer with a size, cities and must-haves can send site requirements at /tenant-requirements/.
