Commercial Real Estate Website Example: Ironbridge Commercial Property
Ironbridge Commercial Property is invented, and its commercial real estate website shows how one broker can serve tenants, landlords and investors on a single page. Six listings give size in two units and asking terms, a table explains the lease terms that move the true cost, six steps run from brief to keys, and the enquiry form first asks who is writing.
Ironbridge Commercial Property has never let a square foot: its brokers, tenants, reviews, rents and phone number are made up for this sample.
A business looking for space reads a broker's site like a shortlist, so every listing has to answer the questions a finance director would ask. Ironbridge opens with a lease document that unfolds beside the office photo, gets signed and is stamped subject to contract, which is how every deal it describes begins. Six listings follow, from a print works office floor to a parade of shops sold with tenants in place, each with its area in square feet and square metres and an asking rent or price. A note under them says the rents come before service charge and taxes, the first detail an experienced tenant checks. That candour is what a commercial real estate broker website owes a reader who will compare it with three others the same afternoon.
The rest of the page treats leasing as a negotiation rather than a shop window. A section on requirements explains that the broker searches for tenants as well as letting for landlords, and that any conflict between the two is declared in writing. A dark table sets out seven lease terms, from rent reviews and break options to repairs and incentives, each with the question a tenant should ask. Market notes explain yield, service charges and fit out in general terms, with no forecasts and no figures dressed up as market data. Many commercial real estate websites stop at listings, and the extra sections here are what turn a list into advice a client can act on.
Ironbridge from the signed terms down to the office hours
Listings come first because most visitors arrive with a size and a district in mind; the lease table and notes follow for those weighing a deal. Each row below is one part of the page, from the signed heads of terms at the top to the office hours at the foot.
| Page | What it opens with | Its sections |
|---|---|---|
| Opening view | The right floor, on a lease you understand | See available space · Send a requirement · Heads of terms · 500 to 50,000 sq ft · Both sides · In writing |
| Listings | Space on our books this month | Second floor, former print works · Corner shop on the high street · Distribution warehouse by the ring road · Ground floor clinic or office suite · Terrace of four trade counter units · Parade of three shops, sold let |
| Requirements | Looking for space? Send the brief before the address | Searching beyond the boards · Who pays the broker · Conflicts declared in writing |
| Lease terms | Seven lease terms that change what the space really costs | Rent review · Break option · Service charge · Repairs · Fit out · Incentives · Security |
| Process | From first brief to the keys | Brief · Shortlist · Viewings · Heads of terms · Legal and fit out · Keys |
| Market notes | Market notes, minus the forecasts | What a yield tells you, and what it hides · Why no two service charges compare · Fit out: shell, finished floor or contribution |
| Gallery | Floors, frontages and loading doors | A fitted floor · A corner shop · Dock doors and a yard |
| Reviews | Tenants and landlords | Tenant, design studio · Landlord, office building · Tenant, bakery production unit |
| Questions | Before you sign anything | Fees · Floor area · Ending a lease early · Acting for both sides · Record of condition · Approved use |
| Requirement form | Send a requirement, or a property to let | Who is writing · Type of space · Size and area · Needed by · Contact details · Description |

Square metres, break dates and who pays the fee: the answers a broker's page has to give
Listings measured twice and priced before the extras
A tenant filters listings by size and cost before anything else, so both have to be stated in a form that can be compared. Ironbridge gives every area in square feet and square metres, because clients and their advisers often work in different units. Each card names the asking rent or price and a line about the lease or the use the building is approved for. The note beneath says the rents exclude service charge, property taxes and sales tax, which keeps a tenant from budgeting on the wrong number. Listings written this way earn a second look from people who have been misled by headline rents before.
A requirement service with its own section and its own fee
Many clients come to a commercial broker with a need rather than a building in mind. Ironbridge answers them in a requirements section that explains that the broker searches listed space, asks around for unlisted space and returns a shortlist in one format. It states plainly that a tenant who instructs the search pays a fee agreed in writing first. It also explains what happens when a building on the list is one the broker lets for its landlord, which is a worry every tenant has. Being open about who pays whom is the quickest way for a brokerage to be trusted by both sides.
Lease terms explained in a table rather than buried in prose
The cost of a lease lives in its terms, and a tenant who reads only the rent learns that late. The sample's dark table lists seven terms, from rent reviews and breaks to repairs, incentives and security, with what each one means and the question to ask about it. Its introduction says the law behind those terms differs between countries and that a lawyer has the final say. A closing note adds that the table explains terms and is not legal advice. Laid out this way, the hardest part of commercial real estate website design becomes the part clients bookmark.
Market notes that teach without forecasting
Brokers are tempted to fill a site with predictions, and invented figures are exactly what a careful client distrusts. Ironbridge's notes explain how a yield is worked out and what it leaves out, why service charges between buildings rarely compare, and the choice between a shell, a finished floor and a fit out contribution. None of them quotes a market rent, a market yield or a forecast, and the section says that it gives no investment, tax or legal advice. A real broker can add its own notes in the same spirit as it learns which questions clients ask most. Notes like these show expertise without promising what nobody can know.
An enquiry form that asks who is writing before what they want
A tenant, an investor, a landlord and a seller need different replies, so the form starts by asking which one is writing. The sample then asks for the type of space, a rough size in either unit, the district and the date the space is needed. A description box invites headcount, parking and loading for tenants, or the building and its tenants for owners. On AI Web Maker a broker's site carries an enquiry form of this kind, so each message lands with those answers already filled in. Sorted at the first question, each enquiry reaches the right broker ready for a useful reply.
Guides for brokers listing floors and taking requirements
Ironbridge measured, check by check, against search
People looking for commercial space search by use, size and district together: office to let near the station, warehouse with dock doors, retail unit for lease, a 2,000 sq ft studio office. Listings that spell out the use, the area in both units and the district as plain text let a broker's page match those searches line for line.

Each of these is a separate sample, written for its own fictional business in a trade close to this one, so the layouts can be compared side by side.
Put your vacant floors and your lease know how in front of tenants
Describe the buildings on your books, the clients you act for and how your fees work, and the builder sets out listings, a requirements section and an enquiry form that you then edit to match your own desk. Shaping and previewing those pages adds nothing to the bill. When the listings go public, hosting runs $119 per year, or $19 if paid month by month, and the web address is bought on top from roughly 400 endings.
What brokers ask before their listings go online
Should a commercial broker publish asking rents?
Where the landlord agrees, yes, with a clear note of what the rent excludes, such as service charge, property taxes and sales tax. A rent per square foot or square metre lets tenants compare buildings, and "rent on application" on every card sends them to a broker who does publish.
How should one site speak to tenants and landlords at once?
By giving each a door: listings and a requirement section for those who need space, and a letting or sale view for owners. A form that asks who is writing at the first question keeps the replies apart, and a plain statement about who pays the fee answers the question both sides have.
Did Ironbridge ever let any of these floors?
No floor, shop or warehouse on the page exists. Ironbridge Commercial Property is an invented broker. Its listings, lease table and market notes were written by hand by the AI Web Maker team for this sample, and the office floors, shopfront and dock doors you see are pictures from the platform's image engine. A working brokerage would describe its own desk, let the builder draft from that, and swap in its real buildings.
What does a brokerage pay to keep a site like this online?
Drafting the listings and previewing them is not charged. From the day tenants can reach the site, keeping it hosted costs $119 across twelve months or $19 per single month, and the address itself is paid for apart, at whatever its ending sells for.
