Volume 01 · 2026 Industry Survey
The State of CRE Leasing, told by the people drafting it.
Most reporting on commercial leasing comes from analysts and consultants. Not the people opening the document at 9pm to renegotiate a co-tenancy clause. This one’s written by you.

Why this exists
Most analysis of CRE leasing is written by people who’ve never drafted one.
Industry coverage is dominated by analysts and consultants. The people doing the actual work (GCs, paralegals, attorneys, lease admins) rarely get to weigh in. So the picture the industry has of itself is two steps removed from the desk where the document gets written.
This survey changes that. We’re collecting answers from the people who draft, negotiate, and live inside these documents every day. What’s getting harder. What tools are working. What isn’t. The first report assembled entirely from practitioner insight.
Everyone who participates gets the full report before it goes public.
Why we're asking
Ten years inside CRE leasing teams. We’ve heard a lot.
Across 33,000+ leases, 5,000 properties, and all 50 states, we’ve watched what slows teams down. And what doesn’t. This survey is shaped by that decade of conversations.
