About

Owner-Focused. Commercially Grounded. Leasing & Acquisitions.

A licensed Connecticut commercial real estate agent who represents building owners across two tracks — alternative leasing and property acquisitions — not developers, not equipment companies, not installers. My job is to evaluate your property honestly and protect your interests whether you lease or sell.

Mike Pelzar

Commercial Real Estate & Alternative Site Leasing

My background spans commercial real estate and C&I clean energy — including direct experience in solar site development, battery storage, and energy infrastructure. That foundation gave me a clear view of the broader opportunity: commercial property owners are sitting on underused roofs, parking lots, yards, and land that alternative operators actively need.

The practice has two sides. On the leasing side, I work across five categories — solar, battery storage, fleet parking, contractor yard / outdoor storage, and EV charging. On the acquisitions side, I match owners with buyers actively acquiring Industrial Outdoor Storage, small-bay / shallow-bay industrial, self-storage, and RV / boat storage sites. Both sides share the same underserved, two-sided demand.

My role is not to push any specific deal type. It's to screen your property honestly across both leasing and acquisitions, tell you what qualifies, and represent your interests whether you choose to lease or to sell.

Based in Connecticut. Working with commercial owners across CT, MA, RI, and NY.

Philosophy

Why Owner Representation Matters

Most operators and developers approach property owners representing their own interests — not yours. Whether it's a solar developer, a fleet parking company, or a storage operator, they have acquisition criteria to fill. You need someone on your side.

Owner representation means someone is screening your property across all relevant uses, evaluating which operators are the right fit, running a competitive process to maximize your terms, and advising you before you sign anything.

That's what Mike Pelzar CRE does. Commercial real estate expertise applied to alternative property leasing — always on behalf of the building owner.

Asset-First Thinking

We evaluate your property the same way a developer would — utility access, roof size, solar potential, load profile — so you understand the opportunity clearly.

Competitive Proposals

An RFP process means multiple developers compete for your property. That competition produces better terms than a single unsolicited offer.

Owner Empathy

A 20-year roof lease or PPA is a significant long-term commitment. You deserve clear, honest guidance before making that decision.

How I Work

My Approach

Honest analysis. Clear communication. Owner-first representation at every stage.

Property owners deserve objective analysis — not a pitch for a specific developer's product.

I work for you, not for the solar developer, fleet operator, or storage company.

Each property is screened across five leasing categories and four acquisition categories — we tell you which track creates the most value.

The RFP process creates competitive leverage — multiple proposals instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it offer.

No property is guaranteed to qualify. I'll tell you honestly which uses make sense and which don't.

Owners retain full decision-making authority at every stage.

Commercial real estate expertise applied to alternative site leasing — on behalf of the building owner.

Cold outreach and inbox-first prospecting — building relationships on both sides of the market.

Long-term relationships matter more than any single transaction.

Clear communication at every stage — no jargon, no pressure.
