Landlord Collaboration
We routinely work alongside commercial landlords and property management groups, ensuring all construction adheres to building standards and lease agreements.
When you secure a new commercial lease, the existing layout rarely aligns perfectly with your business model. Whether you are moving into a bare concrete "grey shell" or taking over a previously occupied unit, your space needs to be tailored to support your specific daily operations. At Reno King General Contractors, we specialize in comprehensive tenant improvements (TIs) in Edmonton, transforming leased properties into highly functional, brand-aligned commercial environments.
We partner directly with business owners, commercial landlords, and property managers to execute seamless leasehold improvements. Our experienced contractors ensure that your build-out maximizes your leased square footage, adheres to your operational workflow, and perfectly reflects your corporate identity.

A Tenant Improvement Allowance is a sum of money provided by the commercial landlord to the tenant to help cover the costs of building out or retrofitting the leased space. It is usually calculated per square foot. We provide highly detailed estimates to help you maximize this allowance and understand any out-of-pocket capital expenditures.
Yes. A "grey shell" (or base shell) typically has bare concrete floors, unfinished walls, and no plumbing or electrical routed to the unit. A "vanilla shell" usually has basic drywall, a finished ceiling, and basic HVAC. We are fully equipped to take on both, designing and building the required infrastructure from the ground up if necessary.
As your design-build general contractor, Reno King handles the entire permitting process. We coordinate with the architects and engineers to submit code-compliant drawings to the City of Edmonton and manage all the paperwork on your behalf.
Absolutely. Almost all commercial leases require the landlord's written consent before any structural, electrical, or mechanical modifications can begin. We prepare the professional specification packages required for your property manager to quickly review and approve the build.
The timeline varies heavily based on the starting condition of the unit and the complexity of your design. Minor retrofits can be completed in 4 to 6 weeks, while extensive grey-shell build-outs for medical or restaurant tenants can take 12 to 16 weeks. We establish a firm construction schedule upfront to ensure you meet your targeted opening date.
Your commercial space must be designed to work as hard as you do. Partner with Reno King Contractors to execute a seamless tenant improvement project that perfectly aligns with your brand and operational goals.
