Renegotiating an extension before the lease expires.

Full definition

Often signed 12–24 months before expiry to lock in incumbent tenant and avoid a relet risk. Landlord typically offers a small concession; tenant gets early certainty on rent and TI.

Why this matters for Class A leasing

Early renewal is part of the leasing vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across Global markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks regional variation alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
