1. Lease (Tapastrie)
Mr. Relos presented the Lease for Tapastrie, whose lease in the Palais Morris
Building expired the end of March. Since then staff has been working with them
on new lease terms. Because of the downtown cross streets project on Colfax
and Michigan streets, which directly affects Tapastrie’s business, the rent has
been reduced for the first six months of the lease’s three year term, and then steps
up in increments for the remaining term. There is an option to renew, with rent
and cam being able to be adjusted based on market conditions for the renewal
term.
Upon a motion by Secretary Inks, seconded by Commissioner Ferlic, the motion
carried unanimously, the Commission approved Lease (Tapastrie) submitted on
Thursday, July 26, 2018.
