Six Questions for...

For our latest Six Questions installment, GlobeSt.com's Jennifer LeClaire sat down with Christopher C. Brockman, the practice group leader for Holland & Knight's Central Florida Real Estate Practice. In their discussion, the two covered the pros and cons for tenants and owners in converting specialty-use real estate and the special considerations both parties should make.

Some of the topics Brockman covered include:

Zoning/Land Use Restrictions

Site Specific Approval Restrictions (Lighting, Sound, Hours of Use, etc.)

Parking Implications (Ratios Vary With Use)

Building Code Implications

Private Restrictions

Lease Terms (Exclusives, Restrictions, Prohibited Uses, etc.)

The full article will be posted on Friday.
