To establish your and Sally's positions, make appropriate assumptions to complete the Learning Canvas Matrix (DOCX). Download Learning Canvas Matrix (DOCX).The information you used to complete your term sheet contains the significant issues in your matrix. Short non-descriptive responses will not be graded. Assume the matrix will be shared with other individuals assisting you in the negotiation. Therefore, your information must include both the term sheet issues and responses. The matrix must be descriptive enough that others can comprehend your negotiation points listed in each matrix box. When establishing responses to the matrix questions, write them clearly and sufficiently to allow a third party to understand your perspective of the negotiations.
Caution: Since the matrix is a planning tool, please note that "yes" or "no" answers, personal keywords without explanation, one-sentence or incomplete sentences are not acceptable as a response. Solutions should be fully developed and analyzed. The entries into the matrix must demonstrate negotiable items that are more than your personal opinion. Entries must contain achievable or negotiable issues based on the facts of the entire case study. Entries are required to be single-spaced, with no white space or empty boxes.

SALE NOTES Free-Standing Restaurant Building, For SALE at $5,995,000 OR NNN Lease for $35,000 monthly, plus $4,200 in property taxes monthly Current Tenant Relocating by July 2019 or August 2019. The property is offered for Sale or Lease By the Owner. Half A Mile North of Mizner Park, Boca Downtown Museum, and IPIC Theater. Free Standing Luxury Building recently renovated in 2013, In and Out. The current tenant operates 7 Days a Week, 24 Hours. Tenant scheduled to vacate in July or August of this year, per request. Exterior covered Patio and partially uncovered with Fire torches and Water Fountain. Full Bar and Wine Cabinet Display area. Dining room Kitchen with Hood, separate Chef's Kitchen with Hood and Main Line Kitchen with On Demand Hood. Brokers Representation of Property owners position 1) The Owners position: What do they want? Why? The Seller would like to capitalize on his most profitable real estate holdings. Selling the property at maximum return is the Owner's ultimate goal, and she realizes that the age of the building is eventually going to present problems in any future sale, even though the building was recently completely renovated. The building owners' interest is to sell, preferably within the next two months, before or on the date of the current lease terminates. If not, the Owner's carrying cost increases since the building may go vacant until she identifies a new leaseholder. A sale solves all of the Owner's issues because the price includes the Amortization of the building renovation costs in the asking price, including a six-month lease recovery premium in the event the building was to remain vacant until a sale. The Broker has stated that that the Owner would consider a lease arrangement either a straight term or a Triple Net lease. There is also the option for any variation such as a Net or Net-Net Lease with terms such as taxes, utilities, Amortization of the renovation costs, and rent-plus percentage based on Gross income from the Restaurant. The property owner believes that the property fits well within Sally's plan to establish a new Restaurant. Great location, floor setup, lots of parking. The current tenant has had an exceptional long-term reputation in the area, and the customer base should help establish and carry over to the new Restaurant. The though is that If the purchase price is too top-heavy, maybe they will consider the NNN Lease options. There may be some room for negotiation on the purchase price, but that depends on Sally's costs model. There may be a slight margin based on the carryover of the tenant or discounting the lease price if Sally assumes the final lease period any holdover pass the lease period. Also, the cleanout costs are high, and maybe if there was an assumption of that responsibility, there could be adjustments made. An assumption probably would make sense if Sally wants to get in early to renovate to the floor plan and set up the kitchen and dining floor and start ordering and stocking foodstuff. The Owner believes that his walk-away alternative is that he will not go over a 20% discount on all pricing terms. He is willing to carry the property until a buyer comes along within, at least the end of the current tenant lease expires. The Owner will discount the price of the sale by as much 30% net thirty-days if offered a cash buyout and not have to wait for financing to take place. The Owner realizes that the best solutions for both parties would be to reach a reasonable price reduction with incentives to close early and turn lease period revenue over to the buyer.
