Commercial Leasing

For new leases or lease renewals, complete the "Initiation of Services for Lease of Premises" form described below. Further information can be obtained by calling Helen Levay at 510.643.2066.

Departments requiring leased space will complete the Initiation of Services Form after confirming with Space Management & Capital Programs that there is no available space on campus.

The form must be approved by the Campus Department's Chair, Dean or Director, and reviewed by Space Management & Capital Programs . RESO will obtain the signature of the Campus Department's Control Unit Head if it appears that the project will require approval from the Office of the President or The Regents .

The form will give RESO the information it requires to do a preliminary site search, estimate the real estate costs to the department and estimate the recharge cost for the project. It will also guarantee that all appropriate offices are aware of projects being initiated.

The completed form can be faxed to RESO at 510.643.1804.

This form will be used to identify the terms and conditions of the lease as negotiated, and will be reviewed and approved as follows:

The form will also finalize the recharge rate being charged for the project.

Upon receipt of all necessary signatures, RESO will either execute the lease, or have it executed by Office of the President or The Regents , as required. Campus signing authority is now $293,523, for up to a 5 year term and options not to exceed 15 years. The majority of leases falling into this category are for small projects with grant funding, administrative office space, and surge space for departments displaced by construction projects being performed on campus.
