The commercial division

Eight asset types, one owner.

The commercial division was built out as the company grew beyond its original residential holding, and now spans eight distinct asset types. It ranges from small service retail on single pads through to multi-bay industrial buildings.

Commercial tenants deal with the owner rather than a leasing agent or a management company. Terms are negotiated directly, decisions do not need to travel up a chain, and the person answering a question about the building is the person responsible for it.

The mix is deliberately broad. Service retail, fuel and convenience, and quick-service restaurant sites behave differently through an economic cycle than warehousing and light industrial, and holding both sides has kept occupancy steady.

01

Car Washes

Automatic and self-serve wash facilities, typically on standalone sites with their own access and forecourt.

02

Fuel & Convenience

Fuel forecourts with attached convenience retail, leased to operators on long terms with strong daily traffic.

03

Retail Plazas

Multi-unit strip retail serving surrounding residential communities, with a mix of national and independent tenants.

04

Restaurant Pads

Freestanding pad sites built for food service, several with drive-through configurations.

05

Warehousing

Distribution and storage space with dock loading, clear height and yard access for larger operators.

06

Light Industrial

Units suited to manufacturing, assembly, trades and service businesses, with grade loading and power.

07

Flex Bays

Combined warehouse and office bays, the most flexible format in the division and popular with growing businesses.

08

Office

Office premises within mixed commercial buildings and above ground-floor retail, from single suites upward.

Who leases from us

A broad tenant base.

Spreading tenancies across operator types is what keeps the division stable when any one sector slows.

National and regional operators

Established brands on longer lease terms, typically in fuel and convenience, quick-service restaurant and plaza anchor positions.

Independent businesses

Owner-operated retail and service businesses, many of which have renewed with the company several times.

Trades and light industry

Contractors, service companies and small manufacturers occupying flex bays, industrial units and warehouse space.

Leasing from us

Dealing directly with the owner.

Commercial leasing at Olive Tree Management runs through the company itself. There is no leasing brokerage in between, so terms are discussed with the party that can actually agree them.

Send through the type of space, approximate size, the area you need to be in and your timing. Our leasing team will come back with what fits.
