Is Your Business Overpaying for Its Lease?
This Can Be Determined With a Lease Financial Analysis.
We represent tenants exclusively. We’ll compare your lease with current market conditions so you’re a better informed tenant, understand what it’s costing you, and what your options are.
Your information is never shared or sold. We use it only to prepare your lease review.

You Signed the Lease. Did You Get the Best Deal?
Most tenants don’t find out they overpaid until it’s time to renew, and by then, the leverage is gone. If any of these questions sound familiar, it’s worth 15 minutes to find out where you stand.
Am I paying above today's market rate for space like mine?
Are my operating expense pass-throughs actually accurate?
Did I give up renewal options or flexibility I didn't need to?
Is there language in my lease that's working against me?
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Commercial real estate in Pittsburgh has shifted and your lease should reflect today’s market, not the one you signed in.
5 Signs Your Pittsburgh Business Might Be Overpaying
- Your lease was signed more than three years ago.
- You don't know how your rent compares to similar space.
- No one but the landlord's broker has ever reviewed your lease.
- Your operating expenses increase every year with little explanation.
- You're within 12 to 18 months of your lease expiration date and haven't started planning.

Why Donahue Real Estate Advisors?
We Only Work for Tenants.
Most commercial real estate brokers represent landlords, sometimes in the very same deal they’re supposedly negotiating on your behalf. Donahue Real Estate Advisors never represents landlords. Every recommendation we make is built around what’s best for you as the tenant, not what protects a building owner’s bottom line.
- We represent tenants exclusively. No exceptions, no dual agency.
- Your landlord already has an expert on their side of the table. Now you do too.
- Our advice doesn’t change based on who owns the building, because we never work for who owns the building.
