Commercial real estate in Rhode Island & Massachusetts.
Teddy Newcomer, Jr. leads our commercial practice with 30+ years of experience negotiating leases, building purchases, and multi-location portfolios across southern New England.
Commercial services
Realty Quarters represents commercial clients across Rhode Island and Massachusetts — from a single retail lease in Providence to multi-state portfolios with locations in Warwick, Attleboro, and Cranston. Our commercial work is led by Teddy Newcomer, Jr., who brings 30+ years of executive-side experience to every transaction. Combined with in-house legal counsel through Thomas Thomasian, Esq., that means your lease language, purchase contracts, and zoning challenges get reviewed by people who know the local market and the local law.
Lease representation (tenant or landlord)
We negotiate commercial leases on both sides — tenant rep for businesses looking for space, landlord rep for owners with retail or office to lease. Lease language is where the dollars hide: CAM charges, escalation clauses, exclusive-use provisions, assignment rights. We catch them before signing.
Owner-user building purchases
For business owners ready to stop renting, we source owner-user properties across the region and structure the transaction with SBA-financing-friendly terms. Many of our owner-user clients are buying their second or third location.
Investment property acquisitions
Income-producing commercial — small retail centers, mixed-use buildings, multi-family conversions. We work with cash buyers and 1031 exchange clients on a regular basis.
Business sales and multi-location portfolios
When the real estate is part of the business sale, we coordinate with M&A counsel on the property side of the transaction. We’ve closed multi-location restaurant, retail, and service-business sales spanning RI and MA.
Tenant representation for relocations
Businesses moving offices, expanding, or downsizing — we run site selection, negotiate term sheets, and coordinate with build-out vendors.
