Optometry Real Estate Services
Optometry practices depend heavily on retail visibility and foot traffic alongside clinical space requirements — a different mix than most healthcare tenants. I represent optometry practices across Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area on site selection, lease negotiation, renewals, and purchases.
What Makes Optometry Real Estate Different
Storefront Visibility and Foot Traffic
Optometry practices often depend on storefront visibility and foot traffic, making location selection closer to a retail consideration than a purely clinical one.
Retail-Style Signage Rights
Retail-style signage rights should be addressed in the lease so the practice can maintain strong visibility and attract both walk-in and appointment traffic.
Exam and Optical Retail Space
The space must accommodate both clinical exam rooms and an optical retail or dispensing area within the same practice location.
Complementary Co-Tenancy
Co-tenancy near complementary businesses, including pharmacies and medical offices, can support visibility, convenience, and a stronger flow of potential patients.
Convenient Parking
Parking should be convenient enough to support both walk-in visitors and patients arriving for scheduled appointments throughout the day.
