Tenant upfits, also known as tenant improvements or build-outs, refer to the modifications and customizations made to a commercial space to accommodate the operational needs and branding of the tenant. These changes can range from minor cosmetic updates, such as painting and flooring, to significant structural alterations like adding walls, modifying electrical and plumbing systems, and updating HVAC units.
