Store development

Use Surfaice for site intake, feasibility context, deal support, and program visibility across a retail expansion pipeline.

Store development teams run a pipeline from site strategy through deal execution. Surfaice helps coordinators and real estate leaders investigate sites, compare packages, and keep context in one workspace instead of scattered folders and inboxes.

Hugo is the in-app agent. LOI = letter of intent. TI = tenant improvement allowance. New here? Start with What is Surfaice?.

Site selection and feasibility

Task	How teams use Surfaice
Broker site intake	Triage incoming site packages; extract key metrics and gaps
Trade-area context	Summarize demographic fit, competitor proximity, and co-tenancy signals
Feasibility memos	Draft structured feasibility summaries from site data and internal templates
Deal comparison	Compare multiple candidates on rent, TI, term, and risk clauses

Hugo works best when you name the market, format, and decision criteria your program uses.

Deals and lease negotiation support

During LOI and lease negotiation:

Extract and compare economic terms across drafts
Flag co-tenancy, exclusives, and use restrictions early
Prepare internal deal summaries for capital committee review

Once executed, hand off to Lease administration for full abstraction.

Program visibility

For multi-site rollouts:

Ask status questions across Smartsheet, SharePoint, or project tools (when connected)
Summarize which sites are blocked on permits, landlord delivery, or GC milestones
Generate weekly program briefings for leadership

Systems commonly connected

CoStar or market data (as configured)
SharePoint / Google Drive (site packages, deal memos)
Smartsheet or program trackers
Email for broker and landlord threads
