Underused Commercial Property Leasing / Acquisitions

I help commercial property owners evaluate whether underused roofs, parking lots, yards, or excess land can generate lease income from solar, storage, fleet parking, contractor storage, EV charging, and other third-party users.

5 Leasing Categories

Income Beyond the Building

Each property is screened across all five categories. Most qualify for at least one — some for multiple.

Solar Roof / Site Leases
1

Solar Roof / Site Leases

Flat commercial roofs leased to solar developers. Passive income, no cost to the owner.

Strongest where you can package roof area, utility, tenant load profile, and owner control.

Battery Storage Site Leases
2

Battery Storage Site Leases

Excess land or parking edges leased to storage developers on long-term ground leases.

Best where you can identify available land, local power constraints, and willing hosts.

Learn More
Fleet Parking
3

Fleet Parking

Underused parking lots and fenced lots leased to logistics fleets, contractors, and service vehicles.

Easier near-term traction — users need overflow parking with flexible terms and convenient access.

Learn More
Contractor Yard / Outdoor Storage
4

Contractor Yard / Outdoor Storage

Fenced yards, gravel lots, and overflow land leased to equipment rentals, contractors, and trades.

Overlooked by most agents — users value visibility, access, fencing, and functional outside storage.

Learn More
EV / Fleet Charging Site Leases
5

EV / Fleet Charging Site Leases

Parking lots and fleet depots leased to EV charging operators. Direct lease or revenue share.

Strongest where a parking asset can evolve into charging, energy storage, and long-term infrastructure income.

Working With Mike Pelzar CRE

Important — Not Every Property Will Qualify

Final developer interest, lease value, PPA structure, and project feasibility depend on many factors — including roof condition and age, utility territory rules, interconnection availability, electrical hosting capacity, load profile, developer underwriting criteria, legal and title review, and owner approval. Mike Pelzar CRE makes no guarantee of qualification, developer interest, or any specific lease or contract terms. Our role is to screen the opportunity, represent the owner, and manage the RFP process — not to promise outcomes.
