A cold dark shell is a term used to describe a commercial property that is unfinished and not ready for occupancy. It is typically a bare building with no interior finishes or systems, such as electrical or plumbing, and may not have windows or exterior doors installed.
Cold dark shells are often found in newly constructed or renovated buildings and are leased to tenants who are responsible for completing the build-out and finishing the property to meet their specific needs and requirements. The landlord may be responsible for providing basic infrastructure, such as the foundation and exterior walls, but the tenant is typically responsible for all other improvements and finishes.
Leasing a cold dark shell can be a good option for tenants who want the flexibility to customize a property to meet their specific needs and branding. It can also be a good option for landlords who want to attract a wide range of tenants and are willing to offer a bare building that can be customized by the tenant. The terms of the lease agreement for a cold dark shell should clearly outline the responsibilities of the landlord and tenant for any improvements or finishes.
